Husband and I stayed one night. The room was fine and appreciated elevator to second floor room though walk with luggage to elevator from car was hard. Worst was there was no on property place to buy a soda except the machine that took my money and gave no soda. The office denied any responsibility and told me I could walk across the very busy street to get my soda somewhere else. By that time I was in tears and the clerk gave me a warm bottle of water. Overall not a very pleasant stay. Marilyn

First off, the room was extremely dated (not the room photographed on hotels.com) and full of nasty cobwebs and spiders (killed 7 of them) along with someone’s old dirty beach towel left in the bathroom. We had to clean the place up the first night we arrived. But, it’s in an extremely convenient location that’s walkable to most attractions in mackinaw city.
