The breakfast guy was so responsive and respectful to the guests. His omelet was amazing. The hotel was good to stay. I'll go there the next time traveling to UP.
Great place before going to Mackinac Island. Breakfast was awesome! A nice bonus is that you can use to fuel and hot tub 24 hours a day.
Staff were very nice and helpful!
Lovely and affordable! Great breakfast bar and ample spaces. Good swimming/jacuzzi, tub in the room, lake view and firewood pit lit up at night! I would spend more time to drive the bridge to make my night to here to save money from not staying in Mackinaw City. Stay here in St Ignace instead!
Front desk person was friendly helpful and very cordial with all of the visitors

The hotel is dated and could use some renovations. It is located right on the shore and offers direct access to the beach. There is also a fire pit on the patio. These features helped compensate for the hotel’s somewhat worn condition.
Hotel was clean, breakfast was great, view of lake was enjoyable! Could use some updating in the rooms but overall great stay and good value! Allows dog = +
