What a gem! Spotlessly clean and a beautiful view of the bridge out one window and a view of Mackinac Island out the other. Very friendly staff, adorable room. Renovated bathroom, nice TV for rainy days. Comfy beds, lots of outlets to charge gadgets. Can’t say a bad thing about it, already planning our return! Don’t stay at a chain, stay here!

Rooms are very clean and very well appointed. The best part is the view of the bridge and Lake Huron. We got a Lakeview room, and we're very happy with it, But the rooms on the end have a big picture window looking straight on at the lake and the bridge. I wish I had known about them with rented one of those.

The front desk clerk was very nice. He gave us helpful information. We came in late and he was informative. The man in the morning was also very helpful. The room was clean and seeing the bridge from our room was beautiful. However the bed was not very comfortable.

The room is comfortable, the scenery is beautiful, and the environment is very quiet. Dining is convenient, and it’s nice to take a walk around. If you’re lucky, you can even see the northern lights. A wonderful motel overall.

Stunning view of the bridge with a wonderful walkway along the lake. Benches to view as well. Lighthouse property next door adds to this. The property is dated however kept up well. Our favorite in a trip of seven hotels. Pool would add in the warm days.

The Riviera has cute and cozy rooms that reflect the up north theme and are very clean. The Mackinaw Bridge view was beautiful andthe pool area was well maintained. The lobby was comfortable and the host was very pleasant and accommodating. I highly recommend The Riviera.
