The pool was detached from the hotel and it wasn’t very warm and the breakfast room was good but the room was cold as ice. It was ok but definitely nothing special.

Room was exactly as advertised and as I requested. Rooms with breakfast included are rare in Mackinaw City, so this was a nice feature and saves a family of 4 a little money and time. Great quality at a vacation price I was ok paying.

Our room was very clean and comfortable! Our lake view room was amazing, the balcony was great for coffee and relaxing! Was within walking distance to Arnold Ferry for second part of our trip to Mackinac Island for a couple days. Was very easy walk to eat at The Rusted Spoke and Dixie Saloon and to see Icebreaker Mackinaw Museum. Would stay again!!!
