One of the cutest motels I’ve ever stayed at! We had the lake view, the beach right off our balcony, and it was walkable to all the fun stuff in town! Would absolutely stay here again.

We would stay here again, and are planning to for our next trips! The hotel is cute and quiet! The rooms are in good shape and clean! The showers are alittle outdated, but I feel that comes with the location! Gene & Lori the managers are the sweetest!! We enjoyed our conversation with them! On low wind nights they have bonfires on the beach!! Overall this is the place to stay!!

Great location! The room was very clean and well stocked with towels. We were surprised at how quiet it was (although the a/c was a bit loud--it provided white noise for us!). Front desk staff was very nice, informative, and welcoming. The beds were comfy.

Room was Mid but it was one of the most affordable stays in Mackinaw City. I would stay again if on a budget but probably would pay more for a better option. Very friendly host.

The staff at the motel were great. We had an issue with a musty smell in the room. We let the manager know and while they couldn’t change our room since the motel was sold out, they had housekeeping work on clearing the odor from our room. We had a pleasant stay.

Over priced for what it was.

Room was small and bathroom was smaller. Sink was in the room, not in the bathroom, there wasn't room for it in there.It was old. There was a musty smell. People were very friendly and helpful. We were only there for 1 1/2 nights and that was enough.

We had an issue with our toilet not wanting to flush. Reported to the front desk and they had it fixed by the time we got back to our room for the day. The carpet is very old or very dirt. The bottoms of my daughter's feet and mine were black. Other than that it was comfy and no big issues
