It’s a nice, quiet, and clean place at a good price; the only issues were that many of the lamps didn't work and the TV remote was broken. Otherwise, everything was fine, and I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

This place was great for what it was. The only thing was there were little ants kind of by the shower, but otherwise everything was clean, staff was easy, and the location is amazing.

Nice room on beach. Pool and hot tub were green and unusable. Beds were like sleeping on a box spring. Room was nice loved location. I wish our first floor balcony would have given access to beach. Better beds and I would give the place 3.5 to 4 rating.

Our room was very clean. It’s a very old building, very simple but clean and comfortable. Was a very low price so well worth it. Only issue was that one of the windows was boarded up on one pane of glass. The indoor pool was also empty and appeared non functional. No microwave or coffee pot in the room.

It was a very nice room for the price. Check in was by a very pleasant lady. The beds were comfortable and the room and especially the bathroom was very clean. It was a quiet room with no traffic noise in the night. Overall, I would stay at this hotel again.

8/10 Very good

My family came in for one night and just needed a place to sleep, nothing fancy. The price for this place was better than nearly all other hotels and was reasonable given it was a holiday weekend. However, the 'indoor' pool was in a building with the windows open (so not so much 'indoor') and the water was green. Certainly not inviting, so we obviously didn't swim. It is located just south of town so out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy what Mackinaw City has to offer. It is also right on the beach so that was nice and convenient. We essentially needed a bed and a shower and that's what we got. Nothing fancy.

Property is run down, but price reflected it. Some of the outlets in our room didn’t work, has to call staff to get our fridge working. But the views and lake access were great. Also enjoyed my little porch on my room.
