Bonfires, S'Mores and More!
Rooms were clean and spacious. We went on the last weekend of the season and all services were in place. There is a nice included breakfast in an adjacent building and the hosts built multiple bonfires on the beach, with S'mores supplies.
Balcony view of the beach and bridge.

Last night help
The cable tv was not working in our room when we arrived at 9:00 pm. When we called the front desk they sent a staff member to resolve the issue. I was surprised they even had staff on hand to help us.

Room had 2 flies in it. Towels were yellowed. Ice was a walk outside to another building. Shower water pressure fluctuated. Did have a gorgeous view and bed was comfortable.

Great family place to stay while on vacay!
We loved our stay here!! From the cozy room, to the extra bed they had in there for my kiddos to the fantastic view of Mackinaw Bridge and the beach bonfire with smores!! Highly recommend!

Would definitely go back!
Loved our stay here. Nice staff. Comfortable room. Great fire on the beach with s’mores. Good breakfast. Room was great, but if I am being nit picky- the paint needed touch up where they filled in holes from a picture, and the screen door had a hole. This did not bother us…we would go back.

Stayed two nights then added a 3rd. Convenient location if traveling in any direction. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. Took advantage of the pool and hot tub. Motel is right on the water and they had a bonfire each night.. Since we purchased the lower priced rooms, we were over the kitchen which had some noise in the morning but not intrusive. I'm sure the rooms in the back of the property at lakeshore were just as good or better! Had an updated TV as well.

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is a nice gem. The front desk receptionist was pleasant yet professional. The room was very clean with updated furniture, carpet is new, the king bed was so comfortable, pillows soft and fluffy. Mr Rolstan made our visit so enjoyable by his personable spirit especially when he lighted the fire pits outside in the evenings, along with provisions for s’mores (those were the biggest marshmallows we’ve ever seen) The only little negative is the internet was very spotty or intermittent. But that can be overlooked when you consider all else that’s available! This is our second stay and we look forward to returning!

Con: The room smelled very musky. The floor didn't appear to have been vacuumed. The TV initially didn't work but was fixed by maintenance. Pro: The staff was very nice. Our TV initially didn't work but they quickly sent someone to fix it. And the front desk staff were also very pleasant when we checked in.
