The staff is A+

The staff was extremely helpful for all that we needed. There is a complimentary breakfast offered, but seating at the breakfast serving location is limited and rather cold. We suggest taking items back to your room to enjoy them comfortably.
Frank A, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice view, beach and bin fires on the beach! Room was nice, just needed an update and good cleaning.
Linda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent place with clean rooms and easy access to the beach. Very close to the ferries to Machinac Island.
Chandra Sekhar, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was convenient to the downtown area and the pier for the ferry to the island. And each evening had fires in the fire pits and provided s’mores The only thing I would like to suggest for this property is maybe provide a place to park bikes during stays. Bike racks would be great for guests that are most likely going to the island and taking their own bikes.

Great hotel in Mackinac. City

I am so impressed with the hotel. It is comfortable, clean and in a great location, quiet and not too far from downtown. I only wish the room was a bit bigger. The staffs are friendly and that’s a great selection for breakfast overall is very comfortable. Stay I would recommend it for solo traveler or maximum of two people.
