I’ve stayed here twice and it gets better everytime! It’s a quiet and nicely kept hotel close to downtown with a gorgeous view of the bridge. All the staff is extremely friendly and welcoming.
The rooms & grounds are immaculately clean & well taken care of. It was so relaxing sitting in front of the campfires on the beach & it never felt crowded because there are seven to choose from. The hotel crew started the campfires at 7pm every evening & added wood throughout the evening until 10pm. They even passed out s’more kits to every person! It was so relaxing sitting in front of the campfire & taking in the beauty of the Mackinac Bridge all lit up & we could also see Mackinac Island in the distance. We had a room with a balcony facing the lake.
We didn’t use the pool but if it’s anything like the rooms & grounds I’m sure it is maintained very well. This will be the only place we stay when visiting Mackinaw City!
The location was great! Beautiful beach & view of the bridge. Special touch with the campfire each evening. The room was exceptional large and very clean.
The property was great, the rooms with a balcony view were beautiful. Had a great view of rhe bridge from your balcony really liked that. The rooms were clean, the bed was a little hard for what we were use to, but we has a great time.
WI-FI was down. Room was nicely appointed. Staff was fabulous. Best view of mackinaw bridge. Nightly some-mores on the beach. Rocky beach would be tough for swimming.
Overall it was great. We did not like the check out policy of having to sign a waiver for them to remove our bags from our room if we did not check out on time - offensive and unbelievable that they would ask that.
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was our 1 year wedding anniversary and we would definitely come back! Staff was great, great view, close to the city.
