Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

8/10 Good
"This was a great hotel with a beautiful view of the lake. I loved that I could sit on the balcony and look out at lake. It has a delicious breakfast buffet! Although, we didn't enjoy all the spider webs and spiders. When we would open the balcony door, the spiders would come in the room. Also, the pool was freezing and was not heated."
