This place is nice for those doing day trips to Mackinac Island. All rooms overlook the lake; really nice views. Not quite walking distance to restaurants but just a 3-5 min drive to St Ignace for food. Also, the hotel staff can request a free shuttle to the ferry docks if you want to avoid paying for parking. You can ask at the front desk. It was super easy and "on demand"; we just showed up, they called the ferry company, and a shuttle appeared within 15min. Drive to the ferry docks was 5min. Rooms themselves were basic but clean. Good value.

Was disappointed by the balcony. We were hoping to sit or eat on the balcony but could not due to SO MANY bugs. It's right off the lake so to be expected. However, it made the outdoor balcony unusable.

On a SUNRISE BEACH and plenty of lawn chairs, firepit, Breakfast included, indoor pool and 2 hot tubs, sauna, balcony, and quiet...NOT EVEN A WHISPER. Front desk ladies were helpful, resourceful, and pleasant. Location was on THE beach.... plenty of parking. You drive ur car to the ferry boat parking lot. This location was approx 1 hour from NORTH TRAVELING to Castle Rock, Tahquamenon Falls, Oswald's Bear farm, and Garlyn Zoo, small and quaint zoo. Loved these spots....

Everything was great..... there were other chain hotels, BUT THIS ONE WAS INDEPENDENT AND AWESOME...

The location was perfect for our trips over to Mackinac Island... just a quick drive to the ferry. The hotel was very nice- it is older and a little outdated, but still well-kept and clean. Our room was perfect- we had a beautiful view of the lake with our balcony view. Beds were clean and comfortable and the room was super spacious! The beach was nice... could be cleaned up a bit and spruced up with a little maintenance, but overall nice and beautiful views!!

My only suggestion would be to make the beach a little nicer... it has so much potential and if spruced up a bit, it could be beautiful . We did enjoy sitting out at the gazebo and also on the beach.

I loved the location and the cute note about the bugs if you leave the balcony open. I also loved that we could have a fire. I would suggest that the owner keep bundles of firewood on property- he could make a fortune :) it was quite the feat trying to find firewood in the evening after all the shops had closed! I loved the options for the pool area! The dry sauna was a gem! I needed all those luxuries after running on the Island! I really enjoyed the breakfast. The staff was beyond kind and funny! They definitely deserve to be treated well- they work hard and are very authentic in their communications with guests!

The alarm clock fee! We had to tell the front desk we didn’t even have one in our room so we didn’t get charged $25! It was beyond absurd haha! The icemaker might need service! It gave me a whole tray shaped chunk of ice! We did laugh a lot though!

The location was amazing to be right on the water! Our downstairs location was great, we could walk right out to the beach. We also took advantage of the free shuttle to the boat docks. The beds were OK and we were thankful for two chairs outside on the patio.

It needs new paint and carpet through out, especially the hallways and pool area. It looked depressing and smelled. The flooring also had bugs. The breakfast area did not have enough seating for the number of guests and basic food options. There was a cool pancake machine but there was only one and the wait was long. We liked that there was an indoor pool but there was no bathroom or shower. When we needed a towel we found one the first day but they were not replenished on the second day of our stay, despite limited number of guests in early June.

We loved our entire visit. The place is adorable -- clean, every room has a lake view, the park-like front yard was perfect with lawn games and lounge chairs. HUGE thanks to the staff! They were fabulous and so helpful, welcoming, and friendly. Breakfast was great -- a typical continental breakfast with all the usuals (cereal, toast, bagels, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, fruit, coffee, tea, juice). My kids loved the pancake machine! The indoor pool was exactly what the kids needed after a day of driving. And the Mexican restaurant next door was fantastic. Many thanks! We'll be back the next time we're passing through town.

No complaints here!

This is our fourth year staying here and I was happy about the improvements they have made to the rooms. We have always loved the easy access to the beach and the amenities included at the beach. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Would like to have a microwave in the room. It’s pretty inconvenient to have to carry your food through the hallway to use the microwaves. Would also like to have a bigger selection for the breakfast bar. Our first year here in 2021 had things like eggs and sausages, would like to see those come back.

The location was great. The view was great. It was nice to have an indoor pool. The staff were very friendly. The hotel room was very clean.

The screen door for our balcony was ripped, so we had to keep the sliding door shut to avoid letting in any bugs. The AC was acting up. We set it to 69, but the AC was always blowing full blast (so be sure to switch it to fan mode on when you go to bed or else you'll wake up freezing).

We stayed in St Ignace as a jumping off point for a few days of sightseeing on Mackinac Island and the Upper Peninsula. We were only at the hotel from evening to early morning each day. We had everything we needed. The continental breakfast had an adequate selection and was fresh each day. The front desk staff was very helpful and we got a slight discount on our ferry tickets to Mackinaw Island. Oh- and they offer free shuttle to and from the ferry port.

Nothing. Everything was fine.

We come here for the view!! Fabulous!! The deck is our favorite spot. We've stayed 3 or 4 times, and the staff is always wonderful. We've always had clean rooms. If we need extra towels or coffee the staff is very accommodating. The location is also great. They offer a fairly decent breakfast of coffee, juices, yogurt, fruit, pancakes, muffins, cereal (with milk) and bagels. You can sit on the breakfast deck or take it back to your room and enjoy breakfast on your own deck. They also have things to do on their property (kayaks, horseshoes, campfires, etc.), but we haven't used them yet. This is our "go-to" hotel when we stay in St. Ignace.

Breakfast can get crowded, but that's to be expected during the tourist season. There are minor updates that could be done (peeling of wallpaper) but it's nothing that bothers our stay. The extra "sitting chair" in the rooms used for watching TV could probably use a little more care or replacing (if worn out), but we throw a sheet or towel over it and sit in it just fine.
