The place was very dirty, I actually wanted to leave after seeing it but they make you sign at the desk if you cancel you will still have to pay. The view to see the Mackinaw Bridge was the only saving grace. The shower had rust stains & still had the used bar soap from a previous customer. The shower curtain had mold & rust on it. The bedding was awful , the blanket had spots on it. All & all it was terrible and I would advise against staying there.

Check in was great and the views were, also. Our room was very disappointing. The screen door to the balcony was badly ripped and the handle on the slider was broken. The tub needed replaced and the bathroom window was broken and taped over. The beds felt clean and were very comfortable.

Love Sunrise Beach Motel!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Sunrise. Loved our view from the balcony it was just beautiful to have the window open at night and morning. Room and bathroom were nice and clean. Staff was nice as well. I will consider Sunrise Beach Motel in the future and will highly recommended to family and friends if they ever visit Mackinac Island.

Disappointed in Mackinac City

Disappointed in the room we had. They had new wall covering and floor but the room was in poor repair. The bathroom window was broken and covered with duct tape to keep the glass in place. The patio was dirty and couldn’t be used due trash on floor. The sliding door handle was broken and the screen was torn. Mold in the AC unit. The outside was dark, with two lights in the parking lot being out and the solar lights on the wooden stairs were very dim causing me to miss a step and fall.
Bathroom window broken and dirty with dirt on window seal.
The handle on sliding glass door was broken, making it difficult to open door. The screen was torn on the top and bottom  which prevented the door to be open to enjoy the fresh air from the lake.
The two light fixtures over the bed had large accumulation of dead bugs.
Torn sliding glass screen door.

This property has a beautiful view but the room was dirty. Sliding door to balcony didn’t lock. Balcony screen was ripped. Window in bathroom was broken and taped together. Water in tub was gray. We moved the little table by the beds to plug in charger and was very dirty. Sheets had sand in them. We stayed one night, quick in and out.

There were bugs,flies, mosquitoes all over the room, including spider webs. The room looked like it was never cleaned. The water coming out of tap was black in color and when we asked front desk, they said its normal as its well water in city (this was a lie as we found out later that there is city water in all hotels). Requested for cancellation which was denied by both hotel and Expedia. Expedia does not help in this matter , which is sad and bad customer service to say the least.

I LOVED the ease of the shuttle to the docks. The staff was super friendly and nice. The little beach was so cute and perfect for a quiet little stay.. it was windy so we didn’t do a campfire but we listened to the waves all night. It was perfect .. Except for when our neighbors decided to feed the seagulls at 7am and it sounded like a seagull attack. Haha ! But still is a cute little spot. Needs some updating and plumbing was a little weird. But would definitely stay again.

The room we requested 2 Queen beds on the water front was not available, instead we were given a small house which was under rehab repair, not completed, many things not completed too many to go into details. Had to ask for everything. TV's not plugged in or working-repair man came out about 10:30 pm to fix them. No trash pick up after first night.

It was a cheep motel that was super overpriced. Great location and view of the bridge. Room not so good. Motel itself not so good. Delay in check-in by 1 hour due to being understaffed and toom not being clean. I liked that it was dog friendly, had firepits and was in the ideal location for our trip.
