Beds were comfy, room was very clean (including bathroom), shower was nice. Not directly on the main drag but just far enough that theres not a lot of noise but easy to reach all destinations in Mackinac. Excellent value!

Rooms were comfortable, clean and staff was very helpful. Due to being elderly, the staff switched us hotels to accommodate being downstairs. Beds were comfortable.
The bathroom light switch was very loud, but I liked the button that switches on heat.

Very clean rooms and great stay overall. Most value for money when we stayed for $100/night on a weekend.
Wifi reception was poor on our phones.

For price point, super clean, bright and not in any disrepair. Dated a little but paint, stains and furniture looked great. Would surely go there again, great value.

The rooms and facilities were fine. Everything was clean. We enjoyed the pools and hot tub. It was close to everything in Mackinaw City including restaurants, stores, ferry, and attractions.
The maid was not able to get to our room to clean. Need to hire more help? We just asked for a set of clean towels. We only stayed two nights. They need to add hand rails in the stairways for safety.
