Read lots of mixed reviews before booking. We stayed as a family of 5, for 4 nights. We had a great time. Pool was average, food nearby, lakeside, beach had sand but was rocky in the water - kids didn’t care. We had no issues w our stay.

Fantastic stay! We stayed here 1 night on July 30th. Upon checking in the hotel looked very well taken care of, we checked in and were greeted by a gentleman that was extremely kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. He had amazing customer service and really started our stay off to a great start. My wife and I and our kids took advantage of there pool and hot tub. Both pool and hot tub were very clean and refreshing. Our room was clean and our balcony was fantastic. We will definitely stay here again when we’re in Mackinae city. Great place.

The only complaint I have was the carpet in our room felt a little damp when we checked in, but I'm not sure if thats because they had cleaned the carpets or if it was the humidity in the air since our AC wasnt on yet. Seemed to be fine the next day. We did also get a wake up knock at around 10am for towels which I didn't enjoy since it was our day to sleep in. But otherwise it was a great stay. Super quick walk to the main street and the ferry. And the beach was steps away from our patio/balcony. We also enjoyed having two separate sleeping areas as I am a light sleeper and my husband snores.

Bed was comfortable & room and bathroom where clean. Staff was fantastic! Other guests were loud & disrespectful making the beach their own private family reunion for over 20 people right outside our balcony. Hotel really needed maintenance, in the rooms, outside & pool area.
Vent in our room
Tiles in our room missing
Didn’t use the hot tub because of how dirty it was
Large group right outside our balcony having a family reunion. So loud & disrespectful of ours we couldn’t even go out & enjoy on balcony

Beautiful lobby with welcoming staff. Rooms are a bit outdated but very large. Balcony facing water for all rooms is a plus. Too bad others staying here weren’t more considerate with leaving garbage and belongings all over beach area every night.
