I wish I'd known how filty and small the rooms are. They put us in a room that hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guest. Yuck. We wanted to go get a room elsewhere but they wouldn't refund us because it was already past "cancelation time". So if you arrive after that time and find the place unacceptable, you are stuck staying there unless you want to eat the cost. BTW, the mattresses are the worst!!! 2 days later and my body still aches from "sleeping" there. If you want to stay beach side, don't stay here. It's a $100 a night upgrade. Not worth staying here just to save a few bucks!

As I was sitting in the parking lot of Hamilton Inn, I went to Travelocity website to put in my dates of stay which was that night I put in the 20th and 21 September Friday night to Saturday. I get a text message saying welcome congratulations blah blah blah. You are now scheduled for the 21st and 22 September that was not correct. I called the front desk sitting in the parking lot to correct it I did not go into the lobby because I was trying to do this immediately and they will not cancel it nor give my money back and so I did not stay at the Hamilton M. I had to go across the street to another hotel. I called Ralph Travelocity, and they could see that I was trying to correct it and they called the manager of the hotel Hamilton to know avail.

This was a comfortable but dated facility in need of a refresh and modernization. It was adequate for our needs, but the breakfast served was very mediocre, and the same served everyday. We ate breakfast elsewhere after the first day. Beds were comfortable and the facility was quiet.

The staff especially front desk were not welcoming they acted like checking you in and any question were bothering them. Breakfast food options were great but it was packed and not enough staff because they kept running out of food so what we could get was good. Not sure that we would stay in the future we found there are so many options for staying in the area.

Large room, with balcony overlooking the water. Large comfortable bed. Large sofa & table & chairs. The hotel itself was older and had a little musty smell upon entering the lobby. It was VERY clean, when cleaned, but cleaning crew were still cleaning rooms at 8:00 at night. Price was slightly above average to high on the weekends. Breakfast was not great, same food every day for 4 days. Long lines for pancakes or waffles.

Loved this hotel! We’ll stay here again when visiting Mackinac! Our room was very spacious and had a balcony overlooking the lake. The pool was open until midnight, which the kids loved. All shops and restaurants were within walking distance. Both ferries to the island were within walking distance. The hotel was clean and had quiet hours from 10p-6a, which was great. There was a complimentary hot breakfast with lots of options. Can’t say enough good things!

Would not recommend

I will start with the good. It is on a nice beach. It is walking distance to restaurants and the ferry. However, I would not recommend this hotel. It is old and shows it. The carpet in the hallways is filthy. I would not walk barefoot on it. The "balcony" in our room was very small, balcony furniture was not cleaned, and it is infested with tiny spiders. The screen door was busted at the bottom so that bugs could fly in and I requested a repaid to no avail. Housekeeping is not so great. They did not vaccuum and didn't clean the jacuzzi which had a dirty washcloth that we had used to clean the balcony. It rained one night and the balcony is covered but does not keep you dry. The balcony was soaked. We were given a room on the fourth floor but the elevator only goes to third floor. We were advised about this. The front desk staff upon check in raved about our room saying it was the best one in the place. If so, I can't imagine what the others must be like. There is a free breakfast but it is only 7a to 9 a. The one day we wanted to try it, at about 830 am, it was so packed we left. They need to extend the hours. I overheard someone say the Best Western is no so great either. I don't know which one to recommend, but it would not be the Hamilton
