Island House Hotel

Island House Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel was beautiful and the staff were very helpful and professional. The 4 star rating vs 5 was due to a filthy toilet (unspeakable things left behind) in our room, the floor in our room was dirty, and our room fridge not working. I would stay again, but I feel like our room was missed during part of the cleaning process."

Cedar Hill Lodge

Cedar Hill Lodge

8/10 Good
"Whenever we are in St. Ignace, we always like to stay at this hotel. We like to go swimming, and they have a nice warm pool. Our room was recently remodeled and was very nice, the only complaint we have was that the blower on the new air conditioner/heater was loud when it came on even on low, so we couldn’t hear the TV and had to turn it up and down, but was not that big of a deal.We also appreciated that they had warm breakfast options like waffles and sausages and eggs on a weekday. This was our fourth stay at this hotel, and will definitely return again."
