The rooms were furnished with very old furnishings, and the carpet was old. There was a musty smell in the room. The bathroom was so bad. There was a horrible smell in it. The tub/shower looked so gross we did not even use it. There was a huge rust stain on it and many black scratches on the bottom of the tub. The toilet was replaced, and the smaller tank revealed unfinished wall behind it. The sink was directly in front of the toilet and it was extremely tiny in there. The sink did not drain well and would fill up while brushing teeth (even with turning the water off). The bathroom was looked like it should be rated PG-13. Yikes! Also, outside our door was a garbage bag of dirty linens that housekeeping did not take care of. The wind was whipping the plastic bag and we could hear it inside the room. We ended up placing a plastic lawn chair on top of it to stop the annoying sound.

The view of the water and bridge was lovely. The beds were comfortable.

They have a pool and hot tub. However they were both out of commission. The check in clerk didn't say anything to us about the pool not working. They should have contacted us before we came. We had reservations for several months. We got our rooms and decided to go to the hot tub. Pool and hot tub were empty. So we went to office and asked what is going on. She totally did not care! She told us we could walk down the road to another property and use their pool. It was 3 properties down. I was on crutches from an injury and could not go that far. No offer of a discount or apology. She just didn't care. We wound up staying there because we couldn't find another place. Photos of pool attached. I have never been so poorly treated at a hotel/motel before. I will NEVER GO BACK!

I love Mackinaw City. Beautiful. I have stayed here before. Usually it has been a great place and we have come here several times over the years. Clean but old.

Rooms definitely need to be updated. 1 outlet in entire room. Had to move things from 1 side of room to the other side to use (coffee maker, lamp, etc). No place to plug in chargers, etc. Toilet was so loose from floor it felt like sitting on a rocking horse. Room was clean. Staff was great. Very friendly and helpful. Way over priced for the condition of the place.

Where do I even begin.... first you don't stay at the pictures posted here. Thats the neighboring motel, where you also check in at. When we first checked in pot on the bedding, clearly wasn't changed. Smelled musty but it was hard to smell due to the rubbing alcohol smell blinding you in the check in office. Tried to use the TV wouldn't work, checked the cords and it was broke but they twisted the copper wire together and left it live and uncovered (fire/shock hazard) . A note was left in the room from staff there was no heat and the cord was mentioned. We read it before the bedding was changed, then after they flipped it back over like we wouldn't notice. The bathroom is tiny, if you wanted to you could take a test on the sink while you went. I bashed my knee on the plumbing. You can see outside around the ac unit. I have pictures of everything. This motel doesn't have a pool but has access to a couple around you. The beach in the pictures is not at this motel again it's at the neighboring one. The bed is broke and doesn't sit right, if you sit wrong you'll go for a ride. The shower was filthy and moldy and rusty. While we didn't have alot of bugs the neighbors did. The beds are as hard as a rock and the pillows I swear are full of small cotton balls... never ever again will we be staying here and I would highly suggest you don't either if you want to be comfy or even feel safe.

The room, by the bed Smelt like urine. The bathroom was nasty. Tub Wouldn't drain cob webs on the ceiling. Mildew around the tub, the caulking job Around the floor in the bathroom looked like a 3-year-old did it. Lamp shade was hanging on the lamp that was tore. Even under the bed looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a very long time Ceiling Had a large crack in it.

The room was recently remodeled; but apparently did not get a final inspection. We called about the tv not being plugged in to anything only to discover there was no box to plug it in to. A new tv was brought up and plugged in. Thank you. We did not call but did make the staff aware the next morning: No bath tub curtain. The hand rail in the tub was present but not set. It fell out while I was taking a shower. We turned the nozzle to the back wall so as to not get water on the floor. We had to move the bed over towards the wall due to the length of the pull out couch bed. :) The carpet on the balcony needs replaced. We chose not to go out there.

The cost was reasonable. The room was recently remodeled. Very nice and was clean. Love the wood. The beds were comfortable. We liked that the hotel was close to the water. It was too cold to use the swimming pool.

Everything could have been better. The room they had us in was absolutely disgusting. There was black mold on the bathroom wall tons of dead bugs all over and globs of dead bugs in cobwebs on the walls. The carpets were stained to high heaven and the rooms were so musty. The offered us another room that was just as gross! There was a huge hole in the wall, stuff all over the wall in the bathroom. They had a coffee table with a 2 shelf bookshelf on top of it with a tv on that. The lamp was on the floor and the shade was stained all over and dead bugs on that! The Blanket had stains on it where it was clearly visible! The room could definitely use a paint job. It was missing half the trim around the crappy air conditioning unit which had a car tree air freshener to make the room smell better! The building and doors exterior are in serious need of a paint job and the grounds need upkeep as there are long weeds all over and picnic tables falling apart. Their rooms are NOTHING as advertised! This place has seriously gone down hill.

We liked the location.

Rooms were terribly dirty. Ripped furniture, bugs all on the walls, mold in bathroom, ceiling was cracking and falling a part. When we turned on the shower the water was brown. Carpets never looked like they have been cleaned, like ever. There was no lobby so we had to check in next door. The address for the listing is very misleading, you think you are staying right by the island ferry’s but it is at least a 15 minute walk to get there. For how much we paid to stay here I am extremely disappointed. Honestly embarrassing. Now that I have read more reviews that are saying the same thing, it’s a shame that the owners don’t do anything to update/clean.

Absolutely nothing.
