Free breakfast was advertised online, but I was told "no breakfast" only coupons for local restaurants. The carpet was so dirty that our shower floor was grey at first. Wallpaper in corridor was peeling showing black mold behind. To get to the pool we needed to cross over to another building, walk over 100 yards, take an elevator with smelly carpet to the third floor then walk down two flights to get to the pool door. The spa jets weren't working. Black mold on the pool deck edge. Refrigerator froze the food. Staff was not rude but cold and not particularly helpful.

Very disappointed in this hotel. Not set up for customers with disabilities to get to the other side of building for breakfast. Air quality was bad. I had to cancel my last night because my breathing was not good in the room.

Absolutely nothing pictures of hotel were very deceiving. Expedia should be shamed of themselves for even recommending this on their website it was awful I will be calling someone to review it at a higher level. Nets were flying around in the room stains on the linen and pillow cases sink was clogged up outdated carpet the door did not close behind you for security when you left I will be calling Mackinaw local officials

Adequate for affordable family stay. The ferry was closed when we arrived so had to arrange for a shuttle to other ferry service. Tv and phone not working in one of our rooms, and required two calls to maintenance for the tv to be fixed, but never got the phone repaired. Staff were extremely helpful. Cleanliness was not great, found a toenail in the carpet, and the shower curtain was stained brown near the bottom. Quiet location. Felt safe. Rooms smelt very musty. Unfortunately, my car was scraped all down one side, during the day we spent on the island. Very disappointing, but maybe not the hotel's fault.

Disgusting, that would summarize my review if one word was required. However I’ll give more reasons. The beds had bed bugs, the carpet was dirt, the bathrooms had not been sanitized, the hole in the bathroom door was covered with a magazine, the front door would not close without putting something in between the door lock. This property is beyond disgusting, not doubt is owned by the same family that ruined this city. Stay in St. Ignace, because most of the properties in Mackinaw City are the same.
