Staff were great , hot tub is super small and stained from I’m assuming the wel water . But was comfortable - staff came and added more water as a previous party tried adding way more people than would fit and lost a lot of it.

Check-in was quick and friendly. Our room had two bedrooms, connected by an open area with microwave, fridge and sink, and also had a sofa bed in one of the rooms. The beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of storage with surfaces for luggage, etc. Our room had a balcony view of the lake and the Mackinac Bridge. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with a bright and spacious bath and nice toiletries. We didn’t have a chance to use the pool, but it was larger than in most hotels, as shown in the pictures, and had a hot tub adjacent to it. For those traveling in the warmer months, there is beach access for swimming in the lake, and fire pits and seating to enjoy on the beach. Breakfast is not provided, but with the room priced so reasonably it is easy to get a full meal at one of the many nearby restaurants. Our stay was perfect, and I would book this room again the next time we visit Mackinaw City.

The facility is located in a perfect area. We stayed at the hotel two separate times. Once June and later in August. Both says one of the two tvs did not work. The rooms have not been updated in a decade or two so no usb power. During our fist stay my wife pointed out one of the smoke detectors in the room was open and did not have a battery installed. Over all it wasn't the worst place i have stayed at but have to admit we wont be back untill they update the property.
