Overall great place to stay on Mackinac Island. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom was clean and adequate. Our bedroom door opened hard … which just was difficult if your hands were full. The air conditioner is a window type unit in the wall. It worked fine, it was in the 70s when we were there. I question if it would have been adequate if it were warmer

Comfortable and clean.

Nice stay, unfortunately the hot tub was broken, something that I discovered after I walked the entire perimeter of the island. Otherwise I was very satisfied with the accommodations and the proximity to the "downtown." Would stay again.
