The staff is very friendly and helpful, it was very clean everywhere on the property, the breakfast had suprising variety and GF options, the view was breathtaking. We had one issue and the owner called me personally to apologize. It was the only motel in the area with no vacancy on our arrival and I can see why. We will 100% stay here again!

We didn’t get a lake view and our room was very, very small. Looks like they stuck the frig and microwave in a corner with no light. Impossible to use in the evening. Over priced for what we got.

The place was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly. It was full when we were there. Walls seem thin. Heard all the conversations in the hallway and the kids in the place seemed like they were having a hopscotch tournament in the rooms. Everything calmed down around midnight. Beautiful view.

Quaint hotel on the beach

The hotel staff was outstanding. We stayed on the 4th and 5th of July. They have fire pits set up out on the beach and they brought everyone bags with s'more kits in them. The guys there made sure everyone had plenty of firewood and that we were all having a good time. The room we had was a little small but it was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Well-maintained motel on the beach w/ bridge view

Pros: Friendly staff, clean and comfortable room, almost all rooms lakeside with a great view of Mackinac Bridge. Grounds well-maintained.
Cons: Can't really improve these things, but location is a bit far from downtown if you want to walk it, and there isn't a direct view of the sunrise.
Location: Convenient to all Mackinaw City has to offer. Ferry ride to Mackinac Island. About 1.5 hours to Tahquamenon Falls in the UP.
We stayed four nights at this lovely motel on the beach of Lake Huron with a great view of the Mackinaw Bridge. It's the first hotel coming into Mackinaw City from the south, actually outside the city limits so there aren't sidewalks. There are five separate 2-story buildings with guest rooms; four of the buildings have all lakefront rooms with balconies. Our room was very clean and comfortable and the view of the bridge and island from the balcony was fantastic (however, a line of trees prevents a direct view of the sunrise). A simple continental breakfast was provided each day (cereals, muffins, bagels, breads, fresh fruit, yogurt, oatmeal and make-your-own waffles). The indoor pool and whirlpool looked nice but we didn't use it. Six fire pits on the beach are readied by staff, and gas grills also are beach-side. The front desk staff were very friendly (not staffed overnight). Because we stayed multiple nights we were given free tickets for the Star Ferry to Mackinaw Island. I consider it too far to walk downtown, but it was a nice bike ride to downtown on the nearby bike trail. Definitely would stay again.
