Beware

During check in there were four couple waiting to check in behind us the clerk told a gentleman that was sitting doing something on the computer that there were more guest that needed checked and he said so!! Very unprofessional to say the least . The cleaning staff was very rude would push cleaning carts in front of you and not even acknowledge you were there. The room was dirty cobwebs hanging around dead bugs on the walls there was a piece of the roof on the balcony that looked like it was going to fall off the sheets on a king size bed were for a queen so just made it to the sides. I think if the staff would take some pride in their jobs and hotel it would be a great place to stay. The view is amazing that is the only thing this place has going for it

I stayed here two separate times in two different rooms within a week. First stay was fine everything seemed clean and well kept. Second stay was room 206 and the counter was falling down in the bathroom and looked like someone attempted to glue it back together. A lot of other things were falling apart. Outlets and lights didn’t work on the beds. Spiders on the ceiling hasn’t been dusted in a long time. Not satisfied for the price I paid.

Fun time

We had a good time in Mackinaw City. Our hotel room had a beautiful view of Lake Huron and the Saturday night fireworks. The hotel is an easy walk to the ferry for a fun day on Mackinac Island.
