This hotel is an embarrassment to all hotels. The room smelt of urine and ammonia. The ceiling had water damage and the walls were damaged. The bathroom was disgusting. We immediately left... the hotel refused to refund the money. Do not stay here.

I stayed here two separate times in two different rooms within a week. First stay was fine everything seemed clean and well kept. Second stay was room 206 and the counter was falling down in the bathroom and looked like someone attempted to glue it back together. A lot of other things were falling apart. Outlets and lights didn’t work on the beds. Spiders on the ceiling hasn’t been dusted in a long time. Not satisfied for the price I paid.

Fun time

We had a good time in Mackinaw City. Our hotel room had a beautiful view of Lake Huron and the Saturday night fireworks. The hotel is an easy walk to the ferry for a fun day on Mackinac Island.

My stay

The hotel is decent but not for the price. The place is a little outdated and could use some refreshing. Beautiful view of the lake from our balcony. The beach behind the property is a little unkempt, could use some cleaning up. After I booked the non refundable room some similar hotels popped up with much lower rates. It was a Spur of the moment booking so overall wasn't the worst but certainly wasn't the best deal on hotels.com

The view from the balcony is beautiful! However, the rooms are old and not kept up. There was mold and rust in the bathroom, smashed bugs smeared all over the wall by the bed, bugs on the walls. Dead spiders were hanging off of the appliances, water damage in the ceiling, vents were caked with dirt and dust. One positive is that it’s a big suite for a lower price. There is a sketchy looking apartment building or motel located in the parking lot. Would not stay here again. The desk clerk was friendly.

I rolled into town early and I knew the room would not be ready but I had a case of wine in the car and wanted to get it out of the heat. The desk clerk could not accommodate me checking the box, she said they had no room. Hell she could have just set it on the floor, clear doesn’t understand basic customer service and what hotel doesn’t allow to check a bag. Now on to the room, they did not clean or make the bed. More and more hotels are doing this but usually there is a sign or you have to request it which we did after the first night. The tile on the front of the sink was barely hanging on the face. Mind you it’s a 12x24 inch piece. Could have fallen on someone. The shower curtain bar was a curved one but some the screws were missing so the curtain itself slide to the middle allowing the water from shower to spray everywhere. It was a great location easy to walk to ferry just some very basic upkeep would made this very nice unfortunately it was disappointing and I travel every month one of the worst places I have stayed at in long time

This place is definitely dated, but for the money is well worth it. We only stayed for one night and weren't too concerned about the place. Just needed a place to sleep. The setup with 2 beds "separated" by the bathroom was great for our family. Also lived the lake view and balcony. Free shuttle to ferry was a pleasant surprise as well. As stated, if you need a quick stay highly recommend this place.
