Needs repair

We stayed in the little single ground level motel part. So the two level hotel rooms on the beach might be nicer. In our room, the internet didn’t work. The bed sheets were clean and was comfortable. However, the room had a musty smell. The bathroom was in need of repairs and had mildew in the shower and a very loose toilet seat.

The property was a little run down. The shower leaked hot water when on and would burn if not careful. The private beach was amazing and made everything worth it. Our room did not have a microwave, but upon rwquest we were brought on. Staff was very nice.

We felt the location was decent, the rooms were just dirty with what looked like to be mold in the bathroom and stray hairs on the floor. The lock was also falling off the door so we didn’t feel safe with that. The pictures online were very deceiving. Service was good and check in went smooth. We ended checking out of that hotel the same night and switched to another hotel we felt safer in

I was VERY disappointed in this property. The ceiling of our bathroom was literally peeling off with big chunks missing, the room wasn’t properly cleaned prior to our check in (dirty floors throughout, unclean glass, and icky bathroom), our bathtub wouldn’t drain correctly, there were literal webs with bugs inside of the room, they literally left us with one tiny bottle of shampoo in the bathroom (we had three travelers…) and no soap of any sort for the sink, and finally they didn’t give us additional towels (even when asked multiple times and promised they would be brought up). The only good thing was the view of the bridge. Save your time and money and book somewhere else. I don’t normally leave reviews, but this time I thought it might save another family from the same fate. This place also owns a couple other properties right next to this one so beware of that also.

This was our first visit to Michigan! While we only stayed here one night it was nice. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the fire pits outside! My son enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed our view of the beautiful sunrise the next morning! It is right off the lake which was a gorgeous setting. Close to Mackinac, but just outside the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to and parking was ample. No elevator, so be prepared to take carry your items to the 2nd floor. The staff was great and very accommodating! Our room was one of the renovated ones on the 2nd floor and we loved it. They did a really great job on it. The mayflies were awful though if you left the porch light on next to your door ... so we just kept ours off (just slightly unscrewed the light bulb). Stayed here June 13-14.
Bathroom was clean and there were plenty of towels.
Room was newly renovated and offered a mini fridge, coffee, microwave, and TV.
Pool went from inside to outside. There is a hot tub inside the building off the pool. Plenty of seating. :)
Pool looking towards the building we stayed in and Lake Huron.

The first room I was given upon check-in at 5 PM had not been cleaned. The second room I was given had allegedly been cleaned, but upon closer inspection, it was really dirty. I took my shoes off and walked around for about five minutes barefoot on the tile floor and my feet were filthy. There were cobwebs and insects around the light fixtures. The sliding glass door could not be locked however they provided a stick to keep the door from opening. There was a gap around the main door a quarter of an inch wide and you could hear absolutely everything outside. There was no iron or ironing board in the room. Stains in the bathtub. The general condition of the property and the rooms overall was just very poor. All this for $160 a night. There was also no one available for checkout at 7:30 AM to get a copy of your receipt. Just a key drop.

I’m so confused. When checking in, I found out they manage 4 properties from the sunrise beach desk. I had reservations for Sunrise Beach. When I got there, they said they didn’t have my reservation but they were going to put me in a nicer motel next door for no up charge. That sounded great. When I got there, it looked exactly like the pictures I reserved. What does Sunrise Beach look like?!?! Also, the sign out front had a price waayyyy lower than I paid. AND, Bridgeview and Sunrise prices out front were the same. If it’s a nicer motel, it should be higher right? I can only speak for Bridgeview Motel. It was newly remodeled and looked fairly clean, but still made me feel dirty. Not sure how to explain why. Beds were ok. Sheets felt super cheap. Beach extends back behind Sunrise and Bridgeview. It was weedy and not well-maintained. Not knocking the motel too much. It looked like almost every hotel in the area. Overall, it was an OK experience, but unless you pay outrageous prices to stay on the island, I’d expect your hotel to be about the same experience as mine.

The room was clean minus all the spiders and bugs in every single corner. As well as every lampshade, the air conditioning unit was in the bathroom which was odd. The plaster and drywall was falling apart in areas of the room, just had a weird old smell to it. Definitely thought I was getting a better room than what the reviews all said. Definitely needs some updating, just glad the bed was clean for a night stay.

Although our check in was excellent with Zachary, I STRONGLY warn you to NOT stay here. Dog poo everywhere outside, the room we had was questionable. Old; outdated ; nasty; had ants; tiny; smelled; half the outlets didn’t work. Nothing like the picture online. Only plus was coupons we received and cheap enough price (but price on their sign was cheaper than what we paid online).

Motel full of pros and cons

This motel was overall average to below average, but it has several pros and cons to consider. Pros: Literally right on the water, lots of amenities, and there are discounts for the Mackinac Island ferries and several restaurants in the area. The motel has a community feel to it. The staff member who checked us in was wonderful and very helpful. Cons: The place just isn't clean. There was constantly sand on the floor (not from us - it was there when we checked in), and bugs in the room. No bedbugs or anything like that - but flying bugs on the ceiling and in the bathroom. The sheets are stained red which gives the impression of bedbugs, but staff said it's rust from the washing machine (!). The pool and hot tub area are disgusting - the plaster is discolored, the hot tub jets didn't work, and the pool temperature was freezing, making it unusable. The staff member who took over from the one who checked us in demonstrated poor customer service throughout our day. We had to ask for towels and a hair dryer (which should've been in the room in the first place) and it took forever to get both. She was overall dismissive of our requests. Overall, this is not the worst motel you could stay in. It was expensive for what we got, but outside summer it's probably a bargain. If you are a budget conscious traveler wanting area discounts, this may be the place for you. You'll need to lower your standards for cleanliness, though.

We booked through you(Expedia) and received two confirmation emails only to show up to the place and they told us that we did not have reservations. We are now staying at the quality Inn and paying more per night for a not so nice place WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOU and will never use your service again
