Clean and cozy! Loved the vibe inside, plus totally walkable to the main strip, Shepler’s ferry, and any of the local restaurants. Check-in/out was remote too, no hassle or worry at any point. Price is super fair for a simple little place to stay!

One of the best places in Mackinaw to stay. Rooms are clean and staff are helpful. Takes time to get use to the no contact check in and code to enter room. Once you get it, I really like it. Very nice place to stay.

A clean room, with easy check in and accessible by keypad. Average bed. Decent small bathroom. Not a fancy room, but adequate. AC was adequate, but had to work hard to cool the room in the hot weather. My only gripe is that the curtains do not keep the light out.

Hoel is charming and relatively comfortable. Decent sized fridge, and the freezer section kept our cold packs cold (helpful if you travel with a cooler). For reasons unknown they have filled in the pool, so swimming won’t be an option. Convenient to attractions, the ferry to Mackinac Island, and the bridge to the U.P. Parking is a bit of a free for all in the lot - we were always able to find a space, though never the ones near our room. The lot is not large, so it wasn’t a long walk. We never had contact with a single human being on the staff - everything was done remotely. If you like that sort of thing, you’ll be fine.

When we came in the room we saw that it was small but had all the essentials which was nice. The TV worked well and had OTTs we could log into. Those were the things we liked. However, a big thing we didn't like was bed bugs. The first night one was crawling on me, for which I asked for a change of sheets the next morning and they gave me. I put those sheets on but the second night too there was bed bug crawling and this time I took a video of it. It was the disconcerting part of our stay and will be a reason of why we wouldn't choose this place again.
