Top Mackinac Island Hotel Reviews

Harbour View Inn

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."
