Basic, clean room in a tourist town

Basic, clean room. Communications were excellent. The bed was soft (uncomfortably) and squeaked a lot! The sheets were paper thin. The walls are thin; I could hear our next door neighbors phone alerts. WIFI was not dependable. I know Mackinaw City is a tourist town but it is not a great value to pay $200/night (in September after the summer season with all fees/taxes included) for such a basic room. FYI the pool is closed due to storm damage. The sign gave the impression that it will not be being fixed any time soon.

We were on vacation. The rooms are in very good shape. Beds were pretty hard and there was hair(a lot of hair) in the bathtub. The pool is also permanently closed.

The check-in is super convenient. The only problem with a motel with a front desk is that they have to be available via text/phone/internet. Also, the wifi didn’t work
