The staff are very nice and the room was clean.
Kul, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

One of the cutest motels I’ve ever stayed at! We had the lake view, the beach right off our balcony, and it was walkable to all the fun stuff in town! Would absolutely stay here again.
Haley, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location! The room was very clean and well stocked with towels. We were surprised at how quiet it was (although the a/c was a bit loud--it provided white noise for us!). Front desk staff was very nice, informative, and welcoming. The beds were comfy.

What a fantastic place to stay! Having a balcony room right on the beach was such a treat for drinking coffee in the mornings. Laurie was a wealth of info and good recommendations, plus, the bonfire was lovely. Will come again!

Room was Mid but it was one of the most affordable stays in Mackinaw City. I would stay again if on a budget but probably would pay more for a better option. Very friendly host.

Jackie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff at the motel were great. We had an issue with a musty smell in the room. We let the manager know and while they couldn’t change our room since the motel was sold out, they had housekeeping work on clearing the odor from our room. We had a pleasant stay.

Dale, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Over priced for what it was.

Room was small and bathroom was smaller. Sink was in the room, not in the bathroom, there wasn't room for it in there.It was old. There was a musty smell. People were very friendly and helpful. We were only there for 1 1/2 nights and that was enough.
Mike, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Pullows were too flat and not enough of them
Penny, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had an issue with our toilet not wanting to flush. Reported to the front desk and they had it fixed by the time we got back to our room for the day. The carpet is very old or very dirt. The bottoms of my daughter's feet and mine were black. Other than that it was comfy and no big issues
