On booking and check-in, staff was friendly and helpful. Price was good and had clean sheets/towels. But mattress was very hard (not firm - hard) - so we didn't sleep well. Was told there was a hot tub but had broken pump, free breakfast was not furnished - had to travel to another hotel, and coffee pot that was delivered... More

Booked this for Labor Day weekend primarily for the cheaper price ($140). Rooms were decent and clean; we had a patio with 2 chairs. Also on the property were picnic tables, wooden swing, playground area (swings, slide, sand area, basketball hoop). Breakfast was included but it was nothing to write home about (bagels, biscuits and gravy, instant oatmeal, cereal, juice,... More

Clean and very quite. Owner made sure everything was perfect. We would stay there again. The rate was great for our budget. It is very close to downtown. Without all the foot traffic of the downtown hotels. This is the place you need to stay.

Place was very quiet and my husband and I slept well, even though there were children right next door, but air conditioner was old and didn't run at night. Luckily the temps were fairly mild for the two nights we stayed there, otherwise we would have been miserable. Also had a problem with the drapes. They were falling down and... More

We booked this motel because we had coupons for the casino, however when we checked in and mentioned the casino coupons, we were told they had no idea what we were talking about ; although we still had the pamphlet which clearly stated we were owed $50 in vouchers. None the less we dropped the issue. The motel was fairly... More

Great value. We stayed two nights. I would stay here again and recommend it to others. It was clean and quiet. Close to many things. We mostly walked to where we wanted to go. Only a few steps from your car to your room for very easy and convenient unloading and loading. Bonnie was very helpful and receptive. Nice breakfast.... More

We planned to stay in Traverse City and take the scenic route to Mackinaw City the next day, but when we went to book reservations in Traverse City, the lowest rate we were quoted was $135 with others rapidly going over $200! Before accepting those prices we decided to check the rates here in Mackinaw City. Since it is obviously... More

This was awful. I lost money. I didn't even end up staying in the room over night. I couldn't even stand in the room for long it smelled so bad. Pool was freezing cold. Not close to anything so you had to drive to everything! The place is done for, needs to be bull dozed down. I found places newer... More

We stayed here because it was cheap but buyer beware I guess you get what you pay for--the fridge was hot when we arrived (not even ON!) The air conditioner was not on (so the room was stifling hot) and the main lamp to the room didn't work. When I tried to call the office this is when I discovered... More
