Best view and customer service ever

I can not say enough good things about my stay. The front desk ladies were so friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the view exceptional!!! I was greeted by the beautiful sunrise from my own patio. Breathtaking!! In my opinion the location was perfect. Close to everything without having to deal with the traffic of being on the “strip”. I am already looking forward to my next visit.

Good Morning Mackinaw City from a very nice beach right outside my very own patio
This is not a view from the hotel, but, it’s less than a 5 minute drive.

10/10 Exceptional

Everyone was super friendly. Our room was in the midst of an update. The wood on the walls still needed sealed, but overall was clean. The bathroom floor did need a good scrubbing but there were no bugs or spiders anywhere. The balcony was beautiful (the screen was really torn up on the screen door but didn’t take away from the beauty outside) We would totally stay here again. It was beautiful and a perfect location. Not within walking distance from downtown-but a shuttle to the ferry was readily available and it was nice to be a little way as way from the hustle & bustle of downtown. The beach is private (for the hotel guests only) which is wonderful as well. It was so peaceful and serene.

Pleasantly surprised that our room had a balcony. Nice updates. Overall great spot to stay right on the lake. The beds and pillows are so-so, but I slept just fine. Our family really enjoyed this spot! Excellent value and cost.

The internet wasn’t great while we were there, and the room could have been a little cleaner, as well as the beach but overall it was a nice place to stay.

It was nice because it was beach side & near everything. Room was clean. Service was not good we stayed 3 days and never got clean towels even when we asked. The pool and water park were not in service and never told.
Kelly, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Spent the night there to walk the mackinaw bridge on Labor Day weekend.The room was three hundred and thirty dollars. The room is a sixty to seventy dollar room. Our phone charges would not stay plugged in.They kept falling out.The sockets are all outdated the t.V is very small and sits on a table for the price of the room.This should have been a sweet type experience.And it's just a low ball room.Never again will we be staying there.
Tammie, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Price high for what we got

Food options were great all restaurants for order are all close. The beds were okay. Better that some. The kids water park was not open looks like it was being used for scaffolding for remodel of the hotel. When we walked in our room there was sticky spilled on the table and floor. I had to go back to the desk for a remote. There was spit all over the sink faucet they didn’t clean.

Really loved our stay here only one complaint but also t the fault of the hotel, very obnoxious kids above our room were loud constantly running around
