Our stay was very relaxing and quiet! They provide multiple coupons at the front desk for things to do around town. The hotel is very close to downtown, we didn’t have to drive for anything except to cross the bridge!

It's dated, but clean and a good value. Located directly across the street from the ferry to Mackinac Island, it was the perfect place to stay after our day trip to the island.

Property needs a lot of work. Low key maze to the “water park.” Spiders the size of silver dollars. Fire alarm went off from a hot shower. At $350 a night, you’d expect more. Staff was lovely.

There was no continental breakfast but coupons offered instead. With the price of rooms you would think this would be included. At check-in the employee used inappropriate langue while talking to another employee that was in the back. At check-out time people were smoking marijuana outside the door smelling up the lobby.

We called the desk and had maintenance up a few times because we didn’t have hot water in the shower. It didn’t get fixed so we had to check out and go about our day with no shower. The desk clerk gave a number for the manager who neither answered my call nor had voicemail.

Well woke up to a bunch of construction and my sheets were dirty and the pool didn't even open til noon or the water park and the lake view we paid for wasn't a very good view and there coffee they put in your rooms were gross. They wouldn't give us any more pillows or creamer for the coffee our phone didn't even have cords. And there was a funky smell through the whole hotel

You get what you pay for. When we checked in, there were no night shift workers and had to check in for our room down the road at another hotel. This is way better than the Crown Plaza though! Everything was clean. Just felt sketchy at night with no workers in the building.
