We booked though an online booking company. Glad I brought a copy of my reservation, as they did not have it correctly. They were able to correct it, but thankfully we came early, so that we were able to get the King jacuzzi room that we booked for our anniversary. ( It was the only jacuzzi in working order.) We...

We made a spur of the moment decision to see Mackinaw City and this hotel was the first we came to. It's right off of I-75, so it super easy to find. It's not right downtown, so its not so congested. Rates were resonable, since it was after Labor Day, so we decided to stay. Breakfast was good, everything was... More

A little more care could be taken with vacummng by using the wand to get along the wall etc. It was... More

Its pretty poorly managed place. Good location very close to the cruises to island, but it pretty badly managed. Torn bedsheets, lights not working, shower is either tooo hot or tooo cold, dirty towels.. the list goes on. The front-desk was helpful though.

I would like to apologize for the problems with your room. We try very hard to ensure guest satisfaction. We rotate out any stained or torn linen regularly, but unfortunately we missed some. Light bulbs do burn out and we would have replaced them had we known. Again, I am sorry we didn't wow you. Hopefully you will consider staying... More
