This property is well located just across from the Colonial Fort Michilimackinac Park and walking distance to restaurants- Audie’s was very good. The staff were efficient and friendly and the room was extremely clean. The bed was comfortable and the shower hot with good water pressure. I would have given five stars except for the noisy people overhead. We would definitely stay again and ask for either an upper floor unit or a single floor unit.
