The view was amazing! The room and pool was very clean. Parking was convenient and close to the rooms.
Such a cute, cozy, and clean property with excellent views of the bridge! And a great outdoor pool. Our family loved this little gem! We will definitely be back in the future.

We always, always stay at the Riviera Motel, and have for years and years. It's a little bit of an upscale mom and pop motel, located right by the bridge! Never would we want to stay anywhere else. Great accomodations!!!

Old motel but beautiful view of the bridge and the Straits of Mackinac. Hotel is small but right on the beach. Good restaurants nearby and away from downtown shopping. Near the ferry to the island. Chairs on the pool deck were comfortable.

Excellent weekend stay . We found the staff to be helpful and friendly. The location was perfect and the views from the property beautiful. Our rooms were on the small side but updated and clean. This is a classic older motel, we enjoyed our stay and will definitely return!

This was a property that was right on the water. It had close access to shopping and activities. Upon arrival, the staff answered all my questions and was ready to help with shuttles and parking.
