"We were checked in quickly. The hotel offered breakfast, but we had to catch a shuttle and didn't opt for breakfast. The room was nice and was ocean front with a nice view. It was walking distance to town and several restaurants. I would stay there again."

8/10 Good
"Our stay at Breakers was great. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. The shuttle picked us up in the morning and took us to the ferry for Mackinac Island. Nice easy process.The room had a lake view and it was a beautiful day for taking in the beautiful beach. The room was a bit tired looking. Slow draining sink and shower. Patio door was beat up, could use a new handle. The price was good and we would stay again due to the wonderful helpful staff. We ate pizza at the beach in the evening and enjoyed the bonfire and amazing northern stars. The outdoor bar was very convenient."
