The charge for the room was to much compared to the poor quality of the facilities. The shower mat was dirty, we had a half a pot of coffee in the coffee pot when we arrived and they didn’t even make up the room on our second day.

We were promised a refund for them changing rooms and it was never received. The motel is an older building and can use some remodeling but overall it was a good visit and a great value!

Good location, beds were clean, rooms were as clean as they could be. Everything is in need of fixing/updating. This place looks almost the same as it did when I was here 20 years ago under previous owners. Outlets were loose so we couldn’t charge our phones. Indoor pool and hot tub were open. The heat/ac units in the rooms seemed newer.

Mackinaw Trip with Kiddo
The staff at the front desk was helpful and friendly. Answered any questions I had. When asked about an early check in, they had cleaned and freshened the room so I could access it. Not even a 5 minute drive from downtown, and 10 minutes from Headlands Park. I had reserved a Single Standard room, expected to find one bed, but they had two. I would stay here again.
