Deceiving

I feel very disappointed by my experience with this choice of hotels. The website shows beautiful looking fully equipped cabins!! NOT WHAT WE GOT!!! Old Outdated! No microwave in room. Broken coffee maker. One old beaten up bedside lamp. The ceiling lamp was filthy. The outlets in the room ( two in room/one in bathroom ) were so stripped out my husband had to prop his boot to the cord to charge his phone. When I inquired about the new cabins onsite. I was told I could have one for an additional $200.00 a night! We were not happy with this location and will never stay there again!

Room smelled of mildew. A lot of cobwebs and dead bugs in light fixtures. Bathroom was in need of updating and the grout on the tiled jacuzzi tub needs to be redone. No microwave in the room and mini fridge did not work properly. Staff was friendly during check-in and check out, bed was comfortable.

Be aware that the “cabins of Mackinaw” are not all Cabins! You may end up overpaying for a tiny hotel/motel room that is hidden behind the (admittedly nice looking) Cabins in the front of the property. I even double checked the photos shown on Expedia and the only pic representative of our booked room was labeled as a “bedroom” which would otherwise come across like it’s part of one of the cabins - in the room, all of the 3 pieces of furniture were either damaged or non functioning, the nightstand for example must have been broken and was resting on the floor with the French cleat it used to be left on still bolted to the wall, then of course there were the lamps that didn’t work and the overall dirty condition of the room! The skirt of the bed wasn’t even pulled down over the ancient mattress, having worked in a hotel for 2 years I can understand some mistakes and general laziness but this is easily the worst room I’ve ever stayed in despite being in a price point of some very nice rooms that I have experienced. Do not stay here

Outdated

The hotel staff were very friendly. The hotel was outdated and a little ran down. The water park was a nice addition, but the water was cloudy and the abundance of chemicals burned our eyes. We stayed in the hotel section, so maybe the cabins were better.

I liked the privacy of the cabins. The cabin could use to be cleaned better - not just in the main walking area - corners are dirty, furniture is dusty. There really needs to be a shelf in the shower to hold the soap and shampoo. At checkin the employee was very helpful with info on the area.

Bathroom needs work

Great area for shopping & dining! Priced well. The room (we weren't in the cabins) seemed very clean - not so much as a dust bunny anywhere! The bathroom... definitely not up to par! There was a very strong urine smell & the vent/fan was broken. The room was cute as can be and really spacious. Beds were VERY comfortable! Adding a microwave would be nice. Our only complaint was the strong odor in the bathroom.
