Our room was very clean and comfortable! Our lake view room was amazing, the balcony was great for coffee and relaxing! Was within walking distance to Arnold Ferry for second part of our trip to Mackinac Island for a couple days. Was very easy walk to eat at The Rusted Spoke and Dixie Saloon and to see Icebreaker Mackinaw Museum. Would stay again!!!

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.

Bathroom had the fridge and microwave stuffed in a corner with wires awkwardly exposed. Bathroom fan fixture lights had no covers so you could see into the fixture. Same fixture fan didn't work. Air conditioner grille was pretty dirty as was the carpet. Staff was business like, but not exactly cordial. Breakfast was pretty mundane. Ice machine in the stairwell was growing algea.

We got a room with a jacuzzi and it didn't work and didn't realize it until 6:45 am on Labor Day. I called the front desk to ask how to turn it on and they gave me a few options which didn't work so they said they would call maintenance and call me back. About 15 minutes later, I called them again to ask what they found out and was told they will have maintenance stop to look at it. Unfortunately, I needed to get ready to pick up my family at the Mackinaw Bridge and didn't have enough time to enjoy the jacuzzi. When I asked for a refund for just the difference between a regular 2 queen room (which is what I was originally going to get) and the room with the jacuzzi, I was told no because I refused help from maintenance. At that point, it was too late.

I wonder how this hotel has got 3 star ratings when the building was way poor in cleaning and the whole room was totally smelly like a weed smell. There were cob webs and room was smelly at all time. There is no provision for setting the room temperature also. It’s totally not recommendable

The room was as clean as it could possibly be. The decor is dated . The mattress needs to be turned, as there is a dent from normal usage. Despite the few appearance issues, we will continue to use this hotel as our vacation spot.
