Great location, and I believe our room was a hidden gem

We absolutely loved the location! Close to most everything we wanted to see in Mackinaw City! We absolutely loved our room too. It was a room on the 2nd floor, over the carport in the 2nd building. We were traveling with our daughter and her 3 children, so we needed beds for 6, and a larger size room. This was great. The room was larger than normal, had 2 beds and a sofa bed. Because the breakfast room was on the 2nd floor, it was the only room on our end. It was quiet...no people walking past our room or loud neighbors! It had a stairway that went only to our room. The wallpaper & decor could definitely use a facelift, but it was clean and comfortable, and perfect for what we needed. If this sounds like what you need for your stay, it's room 239. I don't think they rent it out as much, as we got it on accident, as they originally had us in a room with only 2 beds and a whirlpool tub. It was July 4th holiday weekend/week, and they were very busy. I'm so happy it turned out the way it did. If we go back to the area, I'm pretty certain I would request that room 🤣

The room could use a facelift. Housekeeping was slow to get our towels to us, but it was July 4th week, and they were near capacity if not completely full. None of these were a deal breaker though. The room wasn't fancy, and needed new wallpaper, but it was CLEAN, and roomy for 6 people

Overpriced, old, dirty and musty

If you don't want to pay Mackinac Island hotel prices staying in Mackinaw City is a great option and this hotel is within walking distance of the ferry. The staff was nice and overall the stay was smooth from a managerial perspective.

However, although what we paid was market price for the hotel quality and area, it felt like a huge rip off. The room was very musty and moist, dark, walls dirty, sheets stained, busted bulbs, no outlets. The pool was dirty, the hot tub looked like a cesspool, and the breakfast was really just sad. Based on how overpriced this hotel and the food in town were for the poor quality, I would save up and take a shorter stay on the actual island instead and avoid staying in Mackinaw city altogether.

Passable

The staff was friendly and the area was quiet at night.

The grab and go breakfast that was free with my stay was not actually available at this hotel. I was told I could take my key card and show it to a hotel down the street to get the free breakfast. It kind of defeats the purpose of grabbing a "grab and go" breakfast right before check out if I have to leave the hotel to get it and then make sure I'm back in time for check out. The bathtub in my room had jets in it, when the jets were turned on a bunch of black stuff and hair came out of them.

Great proximity to the city and restaurants.

The plumbing was a bit noisy and could have been a bit cleaner.

didn’t sleep well because of the dampness and concern that something would crawl on my

location to the ferry. nice big walk in shower. lake view was nice.

very out dated inside and out. needs completely new upgrades inside and out. to damp in room. jacuzzi tub old & rusty. webs and big spiders on balcony. bugs in ceiling corners didn’t want to look in floor corners cause wouldn’t have been able to stay there if I seen them but couldn’t sleep cause afraid something was gonna crawl on me. not enough plugs around the bed. had to ask to have one of the lights fixed, felt like someone should be checking them regularly like during cleaning. one of the drawers had garbage in it which tells me that is never opened for cleaning by staff.

Overall was a nice mini vacation.

i liked that they had elevators. And the kids very much enjoyed the pool. It was also nice the pool was open until 11pm.

parking was difficult to park in some spaces and at times was hard to find a space. Also the password they gave me for the internet did not work. When i went to the front desk and asked about it she asked me if i had apple product and blamed it on that. told me to shut it down and try to rebot it but it still didn’t work. She acted like she knew this was a problem but didn’t really care.

A good place to stay at Mackinac City for the money.

It is located by the lake, our room had a balcony to Lake Huron and the view was spectacular. Staff were great, polite, friendly and very helpful. if you want to save some money, this hotel offers a good value, just do not expect to get a five star room.

There were some issues with our room, small details, the room is not that great. not enough electrical outlets, coffee maker is in the bathroom and the furniture is old; but beds are comfy.

Needs to be cleaned and maintained

Great location.

Our door would not shut and they said they would send someone up to fix it. They never did. If we left the hotel the room was practically open. The room was clean but the facility and pool were dirty. The exercise room smelled terrible and the hot tub water was green. I would not stay again after seeing how the place was taken care of.

Our overall stay was nice

Location was Great, the pool was really big and we enjoyed the fireworks. The rooms were maintained daily, the staff were very friendly.

Maintenace of the pool could have been better, there was sand in the bottom of the pool, always had to ask for towels for the pool. I booked this hotel because the said breakfast was included, a breakfast bar and a drink are not breakfast.

Location is good. Ferry and restaurants were easily accessible.

It was mentioned that breakfast is included. But they just had some cereal bar and fruits. We had to go out for breakfast. There were no drinking water facility to fill up water bottles. We had to buy from vending machines. No ice in fridge.

parking was limited, grounds could have been greatly improved with maintenance/upkeep

check in was quick and convenient

pot smoking next door and so no smoking doesn't seem to matter.

I was really quite pleased.

Very comfortable and rather luxurious. Great view of the straits.

It was a little difficult to get to the room... but that's unavoidable.

I was very frustrated about the breakfast.

It’s close to the beach and restaurants. The pool is nice too. Also liked the blackout curtains.

Miserable breakfast… with 2 kids I had to find a restaurant early in the morning. The hotel looks abandoned: doors don’t work, dirty on the common areas.

Other than that our rooms was nice the staff was really nice I wish the location would have been in

Did not care for the grab-and-go breakfast should have had a muffin in a banana or a burrito or something like that

Did not like the breakfast deal Grab & Go should have had more to choose from besides granola bars

Not worth the money, and filthy...

It had its own beach..

It was not clean, the mattress had water damage stains and the staff acted like it was our fault... For checking😂😂 it was a joke

Poor

I paid over 350.00 for a room for 1 night and I could listen to the tv from the room next to me, it took 3 different trips to the desk to get the key card to work I left around 2:30 a.m., it was just uncomfortable, couldn't sleep.

Thin walls, the price was insane for what you got, bag breakfast, really, never again.

Beachfront/parking lot front. I had a great view of the parking lot, not the beach. While a beach view would've been nice, it was not super important though. The biggest downside was the continental breakfast, or lack there of. It consisted of a paper lunch bag with an apple, a 50¢ granola bar, and a 35¢ bottle of water. The advertisment of continental breakfast was the entire reason we choose this location. Shouldn't advertise it if you aren't doing it.
