Waterfront Inn - Mackinaw City

Waterfront Inn - Mackinaw City

8/10 Good
"You get what you pay for. One of the least expensive places in Mackinaw, although still outrageously expensive. It worked as a place to sleep, and you really can't expect much more. The bed was pretty good and the sheets were actually quite nice. Other than that, nothing to write home about at all."

"Everything was excellent. While we'd hoped for a larger room, which was a challenge days before the Labor Day weekend, the room was clean, well maintained and comfortable. Staff friendly. Overall a good experience at a fair price. An unexpected surprise. Keep up the good work."

"This was a night for the bridge walk that I was able to get after my other reservation failed to commit. They had 1 room left and were able to get me in. They have a great pool and comfortable bed. The room was clean and I got a good night sleep."
