Room was very hot and we couldn’t adjust the heat. Ended up turning the AC on while the heat was still going. No other complaints, good deal when we needed a last minute stay.

The pics of this hotel were not even the ones of actual hotel. No human could stay in the actual hotel, mildew black mold etc . Too upgrade to property next door is an additional $30 and those are what the pics are of . It’s a scam and deceitful. No way too cancel or get money back. Be Leary and do not book this hotel. For what I actually spent I could have had a much nicer place with amenities. No coffee, nothing . Plus the smell was horrible . SCAM SCAM SCAM . Not sure how it is legal to sell a room under fake pics then charge to upgrade to that actual room. Will be reporting to BBB AND The local authorities

Terrible motel and firetrap!
This absolutely the worse motel that my family and I have ever stayed in. Norman Bates hotel in Psycho is 5 star compared to this motel. Hotel.com shouldn’t condone the false advertising by providing pictures that don’t represent the actual condition of the rooms, grounds, and facilities! Hotel.com advertises indoor/outdoor pool, which there wasn’t one and it advertises that the “resort” has a beautiful beach which it has a beach of you can dodge the collection of empty Budweiser and trash! The bathroom, you don’t have to worry about Norman Bates killing you because the bathroom electrical system isn’t grounded and certainly doesn’t have a GFI protection and to use the TV, you will need to plug it and the receiver into an extension cord to make it function and there was no remote control provided but, no worries, because the only channel you will have is the Weather Channel! The beds and mattress are worn out and no headboards are attached, however, the screws and holes are still there if you would like to provide your own headboard or find one by the roadside because it will match the rest of the decor! Pillows are provided but you will receive on “worn out one” and another and another that is half size that belongs on a couch! We would have forfeited our $250 (+) room night if other hotels in the Mackinaw City had availability due to Labor Day Mackinac Bridge! Extremely disappointing! And will reconsider using Hotel.com for booking future stays.

Bed bugs!! Stains on bedding and mattress! Window screen full of bugs and mold. Head board was missing from wall. Toilet was nasty and looked like it was never cleaned. The furniture had white stains on it. The first room that was given was never cleaned after the last occupants. The dirty bedding was still left on the bed unmade and trash still in the room. The manager Tracy refused to refund my money and refused to listen to my concerns and hung up on me twice!! I slept in my car the first night and booked a different place to stay. Absolutely horrible! They should be shut down!

The staff were very nice and helpful. We had a beautiful view of the bridge and fireworks. The hotel was very outdated, it had 2 beds, so it all was good. We just needed a place to crash for the night!

You Get What You Pay For
The person at the front desk was SUPER nice and went above and beyond for me to improve my stay. My room had a great view. It was good sized and cozy. It was great for a quick trip. If you are looking for a modern, up to date, well maintained hotel, this isnt it. It was a cheap motel I have stayed at before, so I knew what I was getting into. The bed was uncomfortable. It was so worn, there was a definite slope on one side and I was mildly afraid of sliding off the bed in the middle of the night. The shower head was corroded and rusty, which was a little concering as well. Overall good stay. I knew what I was getting into for the most part, but here is an honest review for those of you who may not.

Very caring place!!
Hotel is a little older, but very comfortable. In fact both my husband and I had our best nights sleep here. The next morning we did have a serious problem, which is when the young lady in the office, I believe her name is Kenisha( sorry if I have spelled that wrong. But this young lady, who had just met me, offered so much comfort and support I cannot say enough about her. We will come back to this location, just to enjoy the caring feeling of this place and it’s staff. If I could give them more than a ten, I certainly would. Thank you so much!!
