Clean room and linens, great view of the Saturday fireworks, and if you’re the type that loves to roast marshmallows, bring firewood the beach has many fire pits that can be utilized.

Overall, this hotel was good for the amount I paid for it. The location was great and had beautiful views of the bridge and island. The room itself was quite large and mostly clean, except for some crumbs on a few surfaces. Definitely a good place for families looking for a more affordable, spacious place to stay with fun amenities. Staff was available and willing to help if needed. I would recommend staying here if looking for a place to stay in Mackinaw City.

Staff was friendly. Bed was clean. Things needed to be wiped down better. Hotel is a little out dated needs updating and repairs. I think because they are right on the beach which is nice they haven’t done a lot of upgrading.

Loved being on the beach, opening the window and hearing the waves. Loved having the bathroom separating the 2 beds, so there is some privacy. Having laundry facilities was nice although I did not use them. Hotel offered discounts on the ferries, butterfly experience on Mackinaw Island, dining and other events. There was also a shuttle service to and from the ferry.

This hotel was trying to cover up some smell with the strongest air freshener smell!! I couldn’t sleep without opening the window and putting a bag of their coffee beans in front of a fan to neutralize the air. The location is great. The smell of the entire facility as awful.

The best I can say is that it was an okay place to lay my head down at night. Tvs barely worked, broken hot tub with no jets, pool FULL of chipping paint. I don't plan to stay here again unless I hear of renovations.
