Easy access to boat shuttle to Macanac Island. Front desk staff helpful with ordering extra tickets for boat. Coupons available for area. Location was nice. Our room seemed like ab afterthought to the hotel. Room on 4th floor but elevator only to 3rd floor. In an area by a large conference room and a 15 steps to get to our floor through the conference area. Back doors always open and unlocked to rooms so did not feel safe and secure since anyone could walk into building and have all floor access. Rooms adequate, beds comfortable, great pillows, and facility was clean. Had a good time. Would we stay there again? Probably!!!

Must stay here!

This was a wonderful family friendly hotel! My grandkids and I had a wonderful experience, room was very clean, beds were soft and cozy. Smelled a bit too much of bleach, but I’d would rather have that than something else. Carpet was stained, but otherwise great shape. Our view was Lakeside w/ balcony and we loved it! The waterpark was just as amazing as the pictures showed- a must for traveling with kids! It is right across the street from the ferry we took to Mackinaw Island. I will definitely return next year!

I was not able to check into my room when I was supposed to. Once my family was able to get into the room, we found a used half-gallon of milk in the refrigerator. I gave it to the front desk. My wife found multiple water and Gatorade empty bottles behind the bed and nightstands. The cabinet door did not cover the cabinet. It appears the hotel needs renovations.

Dirty, late pool hours, broken/old, rude staff

The lady at the front desk was rude & unresponsive when spoken too (we had said thank you for various things and she said nothing each time). When another party let her know that the lobby coffee was out she did not even make eye contact or verbally respond but she rather shuffled slowly over appearing very annoyed. The headboard was broken in the room and couch and each bed was sandy along with the floor, the outdoor light (entryway) was also out. Pool did not open until 2pm so if you chose to stay there to swim- it’s not an option until mid afternoon.

Location was great for walking the city and catching the ferry across the street! The room was decent size to accommodate 5 adults and 3 young kids. It was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the balcony even though it overlooked the parking lot. The fireworks were visible from the balcony! The room wasn’t cleaned not even once in 5 days stay. We were asked one time if we needed towels. The water park needs operational attention and monitoring. Older kids kept the spraying water jets on continuously which was extremely intimidating to the younger kids. A timer would be a nice improvement. Younger 3-4 year olds were getting trampled by older kids 10-12 years old. The second you step into the water park you are getting sprayed by the jets that haven’t been maintained well.

Go elsewhere

I have never been to a nastier hotel there was a strong musty odor, the filters were filthy, you could feel dirt on the floor and it appears that there is mold on the walls ( not seen until morning) we would have went elsewhere but didn’t arrive until midnight and had to leave early so we endured but never again.
