Booking here again next time

First time staying in Mackinaw City, will definitely book the Riviera again. Great view, clean rooms, little small but perfect for a place to sleep. Slept two adults one child for our over night stay. The pool is heated and has a great view of the bridge. Also BC pizza delivers to the room.

Mackinaw City Riveria

This was a great stop for the night on a trip further north. The view of the bridge was wonderful, especially after the fog lifted and it was lit up. Check in was easy and the man was very friendly and helpful. Pool looked nice but we didnt get to try it out. The place is close to some great things.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a very quaint motel with very clean rooms. It's quiet and right by the lake with a nice view of the bridge. The staff was very friendly & knowledgeable. Excellent rates also! Highly recommend.

Fantastic place to stay

Always wanted to stay here and now i have and it is our favorite. Check in was a breeze. Peter was always helpful and kind. Would recommend this place if you wabt to stay in Mackinaw City. It is not part of the "owned" hotels only looking to make a profit.
Lynn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good but Cozy Family Stay

Overall, this motel was a solid 8-9/10. The room was small/cozy. The "lake view" was a bit of a stretch based on the back window or out the front door. My kids did appreciate the heated pool, but opening at 11 seemed strange.
Roberta, 2-night trip
