Summary: Upon entry into the lobby I was immediately impressed with the old cherry wood and overall appeal of the lobby area as well as the courteous service at check in, unfortunately that’s where the interior appeal stopped. The room we were in, 106, was incredibly outdated and needs a serious deep cleaning. The carpet is so gross. The pillows are stained and pancakes and the TVs are so small for a “suite room”. The bathroom had visible mildew build up along the shower wall. There are no tissue boxes in this hotel so be prepared to rip your nose to shreds using their 1 ply tp to blow your snot out. The patio could have been the highlight of this room IF the property was properly maintained and cared for. Being right on Lake Huron and getting to listen to the waves roll in is extremely peaceful but the trash on the beach, cigarette butts all over and just an overall dirty patio left me really disappointed that I paid extra to be in a suite that is so incredibly outdated and just dark. Almost $500 for 3 nights was not worth it. The pool, while advertised as heated is NOT. Don’t be fooled. The hot tub had a visible ring around the inside which was quite gross. The location of the property is great and being right on the beach was also nice. But that’s where the positives end.

Summary: Hotel is older and could benefit from an update, but was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities i needed. GREAT value for the price!
Mary Sep 11, 2025 07:43:16 AM
Summary: We checked in early and lucky the room was ready. Room needs a lot of tlc. Burned out lights, rusty air vent covers, patches of paint missing, bed too close to window, drapes too heavy, too long and smelled of smoke. Balcony chairs were the best we ever sat in!

Summary: Great place to stay. Lake front suite. Great staff. Great breakfast. Comfortable beds. Will stay here again.

Summary: During check in there were four couple waiting to check in behind us the clerk told a gentleman that was sitting doing something on the computer that there were more guest that needed checked and he said so!! Very unprofessional to say the least . The cleaning staff was very rude would push cleaning carts in front of you and not even acknowledge you were there. The room was dirty cobwebs hanging around dead bugs on the walls there was a piece of the roof on the balcony that looked like it was going to fall off the sheets on a king size bed were for a queen so just made it to the sides. I think if the staff would take some pride in their jobs and hotel it would be a great place to stay. The view is amazing that is the only thing this place has going for it

Summary: We had a good time in Mackinaw City. Our hotel room had a beautiful view of Lake Huron and the Saturday night fireworks. The hotel is an easy walk to the ferry for a fun day on Mackinac Island.
Roger Aug 25, 2025 10:32:54 AM
Summary: The hotel is decent but not for the price. The place is a little outdated and could use some refreshing. Beautiful view of the lake from our balcony. The beach behind the property is a little unkempt, could use some cleaning up. After I booked the non refundable room some similar hotels popped up with much lower rates. It was a Spur of the moment booking so overall wasn't the worst but certainly wasn't the best deal on hotels.com

Summary: I had a big suite and everything was okay until I looked up the ceiling and there were multiple dead and alive bugs (also well as spider webs) as well as rust and mold near the AC unit. Also, there was sand in the indoor pool (even though there is no sand anywhere). The worst, however, was the very loud group of people on the "private" beach. They played drums until well over 10 pm on a Sunday night. The front desk was unwilling to ask them to be quieter.
Carrie Aug 16, 2025 09:18:10 PM
Summary: Windows to look out on the lake were really dirty. Bathroom counter missing part of the tiling. Halls freshly painted and new carpet. Rooms seemed dark.
Theila Aug 15, 2025 07:57:13 PM
Summary: Lovely hotel, the view was unmatched. The room was clean and the layout is great for privacy. I did notice that the paint on the balcony door trim needs to be scraped and repainted. This is a small problem. Laying on the bed and watching a storm come in over the water was priceless. As I said before, the view is unparalleled. Would recommend this hotel, and of course , get a room facing the lake.
