The hotel room was good. However the room didn't have a microwave. I thought that a microwave was standard these days. The breakfast was nothing to write home about. Our reservation was for Sunday night. We wanted to stay another night but the room price was $60 more for a Monday. We left and booked another hotel a half a block away, with the same waterfront view for less money. The new hotel was just as nice and it had a microwave.

Had a little patio balcony with chairs and table overlooking the lake. Lovely to see the sunrise in the morning and to hear the sound of the lake waves coming onshore. Easily walkable to Shepler’s ferry to cross over to Mackinac Island.

Beds were comfortable, and lake view is very nice! However if you take a hot shower then open bathroom door smoke alarm goes off, then it stopped and after ten minutes went off again! Then the next night we are watching tv and it goes off for no reason! Called operator and was told maintenance will be there shortly after ten minutes my husband took the detector down and took battery out. After 45 minutes maintenance never showed, we had to call operator and tell her forget it we took batteries out and going to sleep!!!

Husband and I stayed one night. The room was fine and appreciated elevator to second floor room though walk with luggage to elevator from car was hard. Worst was there was no on property place to buy a soda except the machine that took my money and gave no soda. The office denied any responsibility and told me I could walk across the very busy street to get my soda somewhere else. By that time I was in tears and the clerk gave me a warm bottle of water. Overall not a very pleasant stay. Marilyn
