Tried to walk to the lakefront and there was dog feces all around the grounds. The air conditioner kept fluctuating because they’re using an extension cord block and even THAT switch was under the cord! The first thing I saw was a spider under the sheets. There was a bottle (empty)of shampoo on the shower floor. I used water shoes in the shower because that had mold and who knows what on the floor. These people haven’t invested a dime on these units since the 70’s.

Looked nothing like the photos. For the price it's an okay place to sleep for one night, but that's very subjective. As long as you expect no frills & questionable cleanliness. It looked and smelled like I was staying at a divorced deadbeat dad's apartment that hasn't seen a vacuum in 5 years. I think this should have been a $40 motel for what it actually looks like. I think they get away with higher because it's close to the Mackinac Island ferry. But if you're looking for the cheapest possible, I think the bed was clean so I was happy about that.

Decent for the price

Beautiful location, great view of the bridge, very good beach. Each of the ground floor rooms had their own fire pit, right on the beach! The rooms were pretty clean, toilet/shower room very small. Great hot water, good water pressure. My family had 3 rooms, all the screen doors needed replaced, 2 of the glass doors didn’t lock. The mattresses were a crap shoot for comfort. I would go back again.

Tiny, smelly. One room has moldy baseboards around the shower. Another had toilet that hadn't been cleaned in some time, with yellow deposits of some sort below the water line. We'll never go there again.

The place was very dirty, I actually wanted to leave after seeing it but they make you sign at the desk if you cancel you will still have to pay. The view to see the Mackinaw Bridge was the only saving grace. The shower had rust stains & still had the used bar soap from a previous customer. The shower curtain had mold & rust on it. The bedding was awful , the blanket had spots on it. All & all it was terrible and I would advise against staying there.

Check in was great and the views were, also. Our room was very disappointing. The screen door to the balcony was badly ripped and the handle on the slider was broken. The tub needed replaced and the bathroom window was broken and taped over. The beds felt clean and were very comfortable.

Love Sunrise Beach Motel!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Sunrise. Loved our view from the balcony it was just beautiful to have the window open at night and morning. Room and bathroom were nice and clean. Staff was nice as well. I will consider Sunrise Beach Motel in the future and will highly recommended to family and friends if they ever visit Mackinac Island.

Disappointed in Mackinac City

Disappointed in the room we had. They had new wall covering and floor but the room was in poor repair. The bathroom window was broken and covered with duct tape to keep the glass in place. The patio was dirty and couldn’t be used due trash on floor. The sliding door handle was broken and the screen was torn. Mold in the AC unit. The outside was dark, with two lights in the parking lot being out and the solar lights on the wooden stairs were very dim causing me to miss a step and fall.
Bathroom window broken and dirty with dirt on window seal.
The handle on sliding glass door was broken, making it difficult to open door. The screen was torn on the top and bottom which prevented the door to be open to enjoy the fresh air from the lake.
The two light fixtures over the bed had large accumulation of dead bugs.
Torn sliding glass screen door.

This property has a beautiful view but the room was dirty. Sliding door to balcony didn’t lock. Balcony screen was ripped. Window in bathroom was broken and taped together. Water in tub was gray. We moved the little table by the beds to plug in charger and was very dirty. Sheets had sand in them. We stayed one night, quick in and out.

There were bugs,flies, mosquitoes all over the room, including spider webs. The room looked like it was never cleaned. The water coming out of tap was black in color and when we asked front desk, they said its normal as its well water in city (this was a lie as we found out later that there is city water in all hotels). Requested for cancellation which was denied by both hotel and Expedia. Expedia does not help in this matter , which is sad and bad customer service to say the least.

I LOVED the ease of the shuttle to the docks. The staff was super friendly and nice. The little beach was so cute and perfect for a quiet little stay.. it was windy so we didn’t do a campfire but we listened to the waves all night. It was perfect .. Except for when our neighbors decided to feed the seagulls at 7am and it sounded like a seagull attack. Haha ! But still is a cute little spot. Needs some updating and plumbing was a little weird. But would definitely stay again.

The room we requested 2 Queen beds on the water front was not available, instead we were given a small house which was under rehab repair, not completed, many things not completed too many to go into details. Had to ask for everything. TV's not plugged in or working-repair man came out about 10:30 pm to fix them. No trash pick up after first night.

It was a cheep motel that was super overpriced. Great location and view of the bridge. Room not so good. Motel itself not so good. Delay in check-in by 1 hour due to being understaffed and toom not being clean. I liked that it was dog friendly, had firepits and was in the ideal location for our trip.
