This was a great place to stay on the way to Mackinac Island. It was clean. The rooms are huge. We had balconies with chairs and a little table. The beach was a little untidy snd the hotel a little dated, but charming. Would stay there again.

Read lots of mixed reviews before booking. We stayed as a family of 5, for 4 nights. We had a great time. Pool was average, food nearby, lakeside, beach had sand but was rocky in the water - kids didn’t care. We had no issues w our stay.
