"The Breakfast could be a little better. Peanut Butter could be added and different jams other than just grape to put on your toast. Everyone likes peanut butter. Maybe different kinds of bagels other than just plain. My husband really liked your coffee though."

"Probably the prettiest curb appeal of the hotels on the main street. Just far enough from town to be quiet and relaxing but close enough to walk to dinner. The staff is as very accommodating. The breakfast was great and convenient. I will definitely recommend this hotel."

Waterfront Inn - Mackinaw City

Waterfront Inn - Mackinaw City

10/10 Excellent
"If you have ever wondered what staying in Mackinaw City in the early to mid 90s, look no further. This hotel will answer all these questions. The hotel itself seemed to be in need of a little sprucing up, but it was clean. The room itself was large and spacious. The staff was nice. The area was quiet, aside from a bit of noise from passing traffic. The bathroom was large and spacious, which I feel like is rare in hotel bathrooms. Lovers of the 90s will love the decor. From the carpet to the comforters, from the furniture to the colorful bathroom, it was definitely a room my grandmother would have loved and booked for us in 1993. The room itself was great, all joking aside. The bed wasn't very comfortable, but the room itself was awesome. If you need a place to stay during your vacation, this would be a decent place to stay. It is outside the main downtown area and is a charming place. It is away from all the traffic and noise of downtown, but easy access to head south to Cheboygan or other places nearby."
