The room was clean and comfortable. Check-in was simple and easy. Wish they had an iron.
Asandi, 1-night trip

Great lodging

My sister was skeptical about staying there. She wanted to stay in a Brand name hotel. She was pleasant surprised at how clean everything was. We both have back issues and the beds were awesome. Would definitely stay again.

8/10 Very good

We were on vacation. The rooms are in very good shape. Beds were pretty hard and there was hair(a lot of hair) in the bathtub. The pool is also permanently closed.

Very nice and clean! Enjoyed our stay!
Christopher, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The check-in is super convenient. The only problem with a motel with a front desk is that they have to be available via text/phone/internet. Also, the wifi didn’t work

Heather, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed the fact we could get in when ever we nededed to without visiting the front desk. The beds are rock hard but it was ok for the time we needed it for.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a great experience
Fahmi, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good for the price

Check in was very easy and the room was clean. The only issue was that it was hotter than we would have liked and it was not possible to adjust the AC. Also- the pool is not working and that would have been to have known ahead of time. Otherwise the room was exactly as advertised.
Jamie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great clean room for a decent price. Just outside downtown, but still quiet. Will stay again.

Place was great! Clean and affordable.
Jerod, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Efficient

They don't have a typical motel office. They email your room number and door code before you arrive. It's actually pretty efficient. The room was nice, clean, walking distance to the ferry. We were very pleased with it.
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Basic, clean room in a tourist town

Basic, clean room. Communications were excellent. The bed was soft (uncomfortably) and squeaked a lot! The sheets were paper thin. The walls are thin; I could hear our next door neighbors phone alerts. WIFI was not dependable. I know Mackinaw City is a tourist town but it is not a great value to pay $200/night (in September after the summer season with all fees/taxes included) for such a basic room. FYI the pool is closed due to storm damage. The sign gave the impression that it will not be being fixed any time soon.
