We got a room with a jacuzzi and it didn't work and didn't realize it until 6:45 am on Labor Day. I called the front desk to ask how to turn it on and they gave me a few options which didn't work so they said they would call maintenance and call me back. About 15 minutes later, I called them again to ask what they found out and was told they will have maintenance stop to look at it. Unfortunately, I needed to get ready to pick up my family at the Mackinaw Bridge and didn't have enough time to enjoy the jacuzzi. When I asked for a refund for just the difference between a regular 2 queen room (which is what I was originally going to get) and the room with the jacuzzi, I was told no because I refused help from maintenance. At that point, it was too late.

There are piles of dead lake flies by every guest room. The rooms are very outdated. The lamp shades are torn and dirty. Our TV didn’t work. We found a bug in our room. The pool and hot tub were dirty and the hot tub did not work. It was not hot at all-not even lukewarm. The beds had these

the hotel was not prepared for the amount of guests for breakfast. Ran out of everything and it was very limited on dining time only 2 hours. The shower had poor water pressure only a trickle came out. The carpet looked like it was stained and very old. The mattress wasn't update in 10 years, very lumpy.

At breakfast the hot foods were cold. The opened windows didn't have screens in them so bugs could come in.
Bathroom ceiling fan. Wrong bulbs and so mand cobwebs. Cobwebs were also around doorways and around windows.
Walls had scuff marks all over them. I don't think the rooms were throughly cleaned from last season.

It was gross. The smell was covered up pee with pine sol... So gross. The room has dirty torn carpet. Very old and worn out. The bathroom fan was loud, sounded like it was landing a plane. The lights didn't have a cover. The fridge was on the fritz and made a million noises. Which made us turn it off. So it was pointless. I could hear every single whisper outside the door. Do not recommend until they invest in their property and upgrade.

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed for 4 days and our room was never cleaned. I'm sure this is part of being "eco-friendly". Two small garbage cans (in bathroom next to toilet and under the sink) are not enough for 4 days. We had to request fresh bath towels and toilet paper on the 3rd day and had to go to the office to get the items requested. The breakfast consisted of pancakes and ham for hot options. then rolls and cereal. It was the same every morning. The mattresses are FIRM. I had a backache from them. I don't much like Firm, I prefer a mattress that softer. I was diagnosed with cancer 6 month ago, so I am trying to plan trips with my family to make memories. I love Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island and enjoyed both. The hotel, not as much. There could be some improvements.
