I didn’t even realise this was a motel until the desk clears mentioned it at checkout. I typically choose hotels with free breakfast, but due to the popular and overpriced location, I went for this accommodation. I would absolutely stay here again, and have no problem recommending it. Bakery options around the corner conpensate for no breakfast. Clean, simple rooms.

The American boutique Inn was an adorable property right in the heart of Mackinaw city Michigan. It was an easy walk to the fort, several beaches, and downtown. It was a quaint and beautiful little property sitting on a beautiful street across from several beautiful homes. The beds were very comfortable, and the room was well appointed. My only slight complaint was at the shower, kept switching from scalding hot to ice cold. However, the staff were so accommodating that I think if I had mentioned it to them, they would have fixed it right away. The staff at the front desk were so nice. They got us everything we needed and very quickly. The pool was also very nice and my daughter swam after a long day at Mackinac Island. They offer a quick shuttle to the ferry and you can even buy tickets with them. They have refrigerators in the room and a Keurig coffee maker. On the back of the property they have a large ice machine, soda machine, and a microwave you can use. That worked really well for us since we were eating several meals on our own, trying to save a little money, not eating out. Overall, we loved our stay at the American boutique Inn and would definitely stay again!

The hotel is within walking distance to dining, beach and parks. Parking was a breeze. The staff was very helpful and the place is just serene. I was worried about the swimming pool, as most of the rooms face it and it is open until 10 PM. Fortunately, it was not an issue. The guests were very considerate.
