Disliked: Amenities
We stayed for 4 days and our room was never cleaned. I'm sure this is part of being "eco-friendly". Two small garbage cans (in bathroom next to toilet and under the sink) are not enough for 4 days. We had to request fresh bath towels and toilet paper on the 3rd day and had to go to the office to get the items requested. The breakfast consisted of pancakes and ham for hot options. then rolls and cereal. It was the same every morning. The mattresses are FIRM. I had a backache from them. I don't much like Firm, I prefer a mattress that softer. I was diagnosed with cancer 6 month ago, so I am trying to plan trips with my family to make memories. I love Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island and enjoyed both. The hotel, not as much. There could be some improvements.

While the staff are nice, the property sorely needs an update. The bathroom was showing signs of age like mildewed caulking, broken tiles, etc. The furniture was ancient. In addition, if you have a problem with stairs, be sure to ask for an accessible room. The only beachfront rooms that don't require stairs are the ground level rooms.

The staff were great our room was clean and comfy and a great location with a beautiful view. However there were some small things that needed attention like a few loose tiles in the bathroom, outside hall lamps that worked but were consmetically damaged, but overall a positive experience and I would stay there again.

Check in staff was great & fasr, but the room was dirty and had a horrible smell. No paper products in the bathroom and we had to try to track someone down to get some. Hotel needs a big upgrade.

The hotel didn’t have a very high rating, so I wasn’t expecting a great property. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how nice the property was! It was an older building & a little tired looking, but it was very clean & seemed to be well maintained. I would definitely stay here again! Beachfront room was a huge bonus!

2 stars and less no amenties, spider webs in rooms, smelly rooms. No toiletries in bathrooms. What they called continental breakfast is cold boiled eggs bread and jam and butter cream. Morover the receiptions while checking in although I chose to pay caah for two nights and non refundable he didnt inform me that they already took the first night from the card. Very very disappointing

Absolute worst hotel I have ever booked. So bad I left without a refund and drove 4 hours back home. The room was not what I had booked. Supposed to be a king size room with hot tub in room instead I got a dirty queen room. Both bed had dead bugs on the sheets and they were not even made nice. Blankets on top were nice but the sheets were pulled off the foot area and all bunched up. To Bad I will never try to book through expedia again
