Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

8/10 Good
"Can't beat the location! All the hotels in this city are old so they would have to do a lot of renovations to modernize. The furniture in the rooms are older but serve the need. Bathroom needs more shelves. Lighting needs improvement. Breakfast needs to be improved. 7-9am is too short ending too early. Can't accommodate crowds very well. Would be nice to have coffee available all day. The stuff in the room is horrible. The machine in the lobby never worked .At an average of $300 per night in a suite I think should be a nice amenity."

"Overall, my stay at the hotel was good, and I had a pleasant experience. However, I believe they should pay a little more attention to cleanliness. The bathroom was a bit dirty, and the shower curtain had a terrible smell and visible mold. Other than that, everything was good. With better attention to cleaning and maintenance, the experience could be even better."
