Set in Mackinaw City, 2.2 km from Mackinaw City Beach, Blue Water Beachfront Hotel & Waterpark offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is non-smoking and is situated 17 km from Mackinac Bridge.

The hotel was right in the city and in walking distance to the ferry liners. The property was very clean and the staff was very accommodating. The room lead right to the beach. And the indoor waterpark was a blast for the kids. We will probably stay here again next year or for the 4th.

    The location is beautiful, and staying in one of the little chalets was like being out in the woods. 2 chairs for sitting outside, as well as a picnic table. Property is pet friendly, and my 2 dogs loved all the grass and birds! The bathroom is huge and we had 2 bedrooms, so the kids had their own room. There is also a pool and a little water park. Beach access is also available. TV's in both rooms was a nice perk. Other than it was a lot if money for 1 night, it was still worth it for the experience.
