Murray Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We traveled to Mackinac Island for a girls trip and we had an amazing stay at the Murray hotel. The staff was top tier - very friendly and extremely helpful without being pushy or "fake" about it. From the luggage service to the complimentary offerings, they were excellent. We had a 1 year old in tow and the staff made sure she felt special and helped us with keeping her milk refrigerated and ready to go whenever we came to the desk. The island itself was a great experience and the Murray hotel simply added to our trip's lovely charm. Highly recommend!"
