Room was exactly as advertised and as I requested. Rooms with breakfast included are rare in Mackinaw City, so this was a nice feature and saves a family of 4 a little money and time. Great quality at a vacation price I was ok paying.

The pool was detached from the hotel and it wasn’t very warm and the breakfast room was good but the room was cold as ice. It was ok but definitely nothing special.

Beautiful view of Lake Huron Heat and AC worked quietly Breakfast was ok Plenty of parking If staying more than one night, be sure to ask for house cleaning if you want it. All the plumbing worked as expected. Bathroom was clean Beds were comfortable For an older facility, our two day stay was very pleasant. Didn’t use the pool or hot tub Very reasonable price compared to neighboring facilities

overall decent and ok value

Overall it was good. Nice view, nice towels, not enough washcloths and only 1 day of coffee, but i did not call room service.The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was unappealing. Exterior upkeep was lacking. I was charged correctly as booked.

The photo shown on this page is not at all the rooms we were assigned. First room did not have queen ann furniture, and elegant. It was old outdated and the room smelled of putrid animal urine. It was so nasty. Everything about this place was outdated. We picked this place for the hot tub, pool and breakfast, and nice room. We didn't get any of what was advertised on this website.

Enjoyed the hot tub, but the light above didnt work. One of the other lights was out in the entryway and trim molding was coming off in spots. You can tell the room hasnt been updated in decades but has been kept in fairly good shape.

This hotel is older, but it is well maintained and clean. The one suggestion I would make is to let people know when you check in that house keeping has to be requested.
