Great location but dated not up to todays standard

Hotel is dated. But the best location. No breakfast. Our housekeepers only made our bed 1 out of 4 days. We had to ask for towels. They took the soap and didn't replace it. However, there is a staff member named Kevin that went above and beyond to help us out, even though he was not assigned to our room.

Calling it a "partial lake view" is a stretch at best. The place was *fine* but it was not worth the cost. The sheets were stained and the tv had on that setting that makes everything look terrible. They were literally selling people's left purses in the lobby, so I guess don't forget your luggage or you'll never get it back.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Mackinaw City for a reasonable price, this is a fantastic option. The rooms were clean, the staff was great. We reserved online and made a special request. They accommodated our request and communicated that they would be able to do so within an hour of making the reservation. The location is excellent also.

An older property in great condition. Offers views of the straights, lighthouse and bridge. Hot tub was great but the pool was too cold to use. Good value for the price considering it's Mackinac in season. I would stay again and definatly recommend.

I liked that it was near the bridge and lighthouse. Heater worked great! Room was spacious and beds were comfy. Room did not look really clean but it was ok. It was clean enough. People that stayed next to us were really loud and made a lot of noise. Especially at night. Overall, ok.

They were very kind and helpful. We arrived after they closed, but they still allowed us to stay for the night. Great area and great service. Cost was much better than any other place in the area. Fairly clean room with all of the necessities. Would absolutely stay here again.
