"We had a great stay here!! We were on the lake front and could see the Mackinac Bridge from our balcony. The room was much bigger than expected. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were both pleasant and helpful. Close to EVERYTHING!! We didn't have to go far off the interstate to get there. We were super close to Arnold's Ferry that takes you to Mackinac Island, which were were able to purchase tickets for at the hotel. Shopping and food (and FUDGE!!) were just down the street. We hope to stay here again on our next visit!!"

"Room was clean, loved the access to the beach and close to the fun in the area. It would be nice to have 24 vending and access to a microwave. If we're staying in a budget motel, we're probably bringing our own food as well, so access to a microwave is essential, but the lobby with the only one was closed for several hours."
