Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

8/10 Good
"Staff were very friendly and the hotel and beach behind it were beautiful. When we first arrived the rooms smelled freshly cleaned, however by the 2nd day there was a weird musty order in both rooms that seemed to get worse by the 3rd day (our check-out day). Otherwise, the stay was excellent, and we really enjoyed being in walking distance from the stores, restaurants and the Bridge"

10/10 Excellent
"We accidentally left a backpack in our room on our checkout day. Only realized this when our carriage already left for the dock. The hotel has an excellent direct texting communication system with their guest. I sent a text and explained what happened. They sent someone to grab the backpack from the room and sent it to the next carriage going to the dock. We got our backpack in Mackinaw City! Talk about customer service!! The property is so gorgeous and dreamy. You guys are amazing! Great service! Great food! Great staff! Landscaping maintained to perfection and scenic views! We will be back! Thank you Stonecliffe!!"

10/10 Excellent
"Staff was wonderful. View from our room was great. They had smores and a camp fire in the evening. Only downfall was we were hoping for a sand beach and it is all rocks. It was very pretty though. Bring a kite to fly, or football to throw. There is so much open green space between the building and water for the kids to run and play."
