Staff was great, rooms were nice, beach view and fire pit were amazing. The beach definitely doesn’t match up to the hotel cover picture (probably AI generated or cleaned up) but worth having it!
The staff was very helpful. The night time clerk, Natasha, was extremely helpful and we were very impressed with her. The room was dated but clean. I would probably stay again
Stayed with the wife for our anniversary and we’re both glad we’ve chose this one. Clean and comfortable. They also had fireworks on a Saturday that we were there. Would definitely stay there again if in town.

Natasha at the front desk was awesome! We loved having the balcony & beach view! Overall the property could use some maintenance improvements & cleaning. We really liked the room/suite set up with the wall separating the beds.
Our view of the lake was great, we could see the hotel on mackinac island. Well definitely be coming back next year. Our only complaint was the pool and jacuzzi were dirty, there was a dirty ring around the jacuzzi.
The property was great and satisfying
Had a beach front view with a balcony and the room was clean spacious and comfortable.
Location is great we walked to the ferry station and sailed to Mackinac Island
Everything was eased by the Hotel
Nice room with a big balcony overlooking the bridge. Lots of chairs on the beach as well as firepits which many people were enjoying. Lots of parking and very close to access highways. Beautiful flowers outside the entry. Property is maintained well.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room size is great for a family of 5 or 6. Two sinks and 2 TVs was nice. Balcony with lake view was lovely.
We were pleasantly surprised to come back from Mackinac Island and find that they had made our beds and cleaned the room. Many hotels don’t do that daily anymore. We enjoyed building a fire in one of the fire pits out on the beach. Funding a hotel for it ha family suite was fantastic! Also, watching the sun rise from my balcony while enjoying a cup of coffee was wonderful.
