The room and bed was clean, had ac unit that worked great. The mini fridge didn’t work, wasn’t in the room much besides sleeping so no big deal.shower and sink need to be updated but do the job. Needs some work but solid price right on Lake Huron with a view of the bridge and walking distance to everything in Mackinac city. Owner or manager seems to be updating rooms and working on the place, definitely get a lake view room the manager said those are all updated and nicer than the courtyard rooms(where I stayed). I enjoyed my stay and staff was friendly and helpful

Front desk staff not very pleasant. Motel very run down and unkept. Very obvious no one cares about the place or guests. Pool was dirty and we wouldn’t even get in. Trash all along the beach. Very deceiving from pictures. Had alarm clock and coffee pot however neither had outlets to plug in near them only one was in bathroom right next to sink and cord had to go across sink real safe! I would not recommend this place at all. Exterior of place as disgusting.

Room was absolutely filthy. Bugs smashed into the walls, dirt smeared on them as well. Turned on water for shower and the knobs leaked brown sludge. Nothing like the photos and the staff was nonchalant and unhelpful. 0/10. Don’t waste your money.

This is a property that has a ton of potential. The view from our room was wonderful. We were in a 2nd floor “refurbished” room. The interior walls and floor were new. Beds were great. Thumbs up. The table in our room, though, was unsafe…the top was not connected to the base (as well as being too big for the space). The balcony could have been great, if it had new flooring and seating-we would have loved to sit out there. The parking lot was under construction due to erosion and it needed to be maintained The pool looked super cool. Indoor/outdoor connected pool. If they continue to make improvements, I would stay here, again.

Us and our 2 kids stayed here for one night. We loved being right on the water, and the firepits on the water were a quiet and relaxing spot to unwind. Would stay again.

First off, the waterfront view from this motel is great! The room was recently updated inside, but could use some finishing touches. Exposed wiring beside the bed and a smoke alarm hanging open (I assume not in working order) are not ok. Balcony and furniture were dated. Otherwise the room itself was good. Ice cold AC, hot shower with good water pressure, comfortable beds, TV, fridge and microwave! The exterior needs some work. Stairs to the upper level have some boards popped up. Beach is sandy but had some trash. Swingset on the property looked from the 80s. And the overhang at the check in office is held up by some sketchy pillars. If you are looking for a great view of the island and bridge for a reasonable price, this could be your place to stay. If you have high expectations of a high end stay, maybe go for a hotel in town.
