Lake View Hotel

Lake View Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was the perfect hotel to stay in while visiting Mackinac Island. It was located on the main street but near the end, so not as crowded as somewhere near the middle. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean and quiet with beautiful balcony views of the water. Staff was great and very non-intrusive. I never even saw a member of the cleaning staff on our hallway, but our room was maintained beautifully every single day. I absolutely would recommend to a friend!"

Harbour View Inn

8/10 Good
"Not exactly ADA accessible. One elevator serves the back buildings of the hotel but there is an uphill climb to reach it. In fact, the whole of Mackinaw Island does not seem mobility challenged friendly and in my opinion not even trying to be ADA compliant. Our room was beautiful and spacious. The breakfast while billed as continental offered an elegant selection of continental plus offerings. Plus, the staff was very helpful."

"Our room was on the water. It was wonderful to sit on our patio and look at the lake. It was a short walk to the Mackinac island ferry and about a 20 minute walk to the little downtown area. The breakfast was nice. I would happily stay there again."
