The property was in relatively good shape. Rooms are small, and view from room was not interesting. However, we did not go there to spend time in the hotel room. The hotel is in a great location. Convenient to walking from ferry and the shops downtown. We ate breakfast at 1892 and dinner one night at Ice House BBQ on site. Both were great. The front porch and lawn offer great view of the marina and harbor.

Everything was great except they advertise complimentary water and take the water dispenser down after 6 to 7pm. Bottled water ranged $6 to $10. No other options were offered when at 8:30pm I needed water to take medication.

accommodating for my wheelchair for last minute reservation was a plus!. I wasn't able to get ada room, but the room I was in had no stairs, was able to get in, and very tight squeeze for bathroom. I have a manual wheelchair. All the elevators were easy to work. I was able to get around the property.

I was between this hotel and a few others and I'm so happy that I chose Island House! The location can't be beat. It's just around the corner from Main Street and right across the street from the marina. The food options on site were excellent. We even were able to rent bikes right out front which was super convenient. If we go back to the island, we will definitely be repeat guests!

This hotel is very nice and tastefully decorated. I give it 4 stars. It's a bit pricey for the quality level, but it's Mackinac so somewhat expected. We reserved a 2 BR suite as we were traveling with my adult daughter, and the room lay out was strange. 2 baths, but weird lay out. It was an obvious conversion from a space that had other purposes. Just not what I'd expect at the price level charged. Overall the hotel was clean and the staff friendly, barring the restaurant manager who was somewhat gruff.
