    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.

    The room looked shabby. The lamp had stains or something all over it as did the side of the mattresses. We could easily see the side of the mattresses since the sheets were not tucked in. The shade on the bathroom window had a big hole in it. And the tub took 30 minutes to drain after taking a shower. I tried to inform the staff when I checked out but they had the office door locked and yelled through the window to leave the key on the mat. Also there were piles of laundry bags left right outside our door all night. There was no free breakfast.

    The bed was comfortable. There was a refrigerator. I liked that the hotel was near the beach.

    This place had dead bugs killed by previous patrons all over walls. There was a spider infestation. Everything from the curtains, floors and walls were filthy. Terrible musty smell. Air conditioner did not work properly in 90 degree heat. When I moved curtain back I started sneezing because of heavy dusty mildew smelling stuff that flew up. The check in process took over 40 minutes. We tried to tough it out til morning as we were exhausted but left at 3 am to our next destination 4 hours away with zero sleep due to spiders coming down from ceiling I’m all corners of the room.

    The view of Mackinaw Bridge was gorgeous.

    Sliding glass door was broken to the balcony but we could still manage to open it. Could use updates, but you get what you pay for!

    Affordable lakefront location in Mackinaw City. It’s basic accommodation and reminds me of the motels we’d stay in the 90s when I was a kid. Nothing fancy, but has character. Balconies and beach are nice. Owner is a young women working hard to manage and take over the property. Very warm and welcoming.

    The cockroaches. The pop machine took our $.the water park pass was a bonus we thought untill we got there and it was a small toddler splash pad.

    The lake view was amazing, the rooms had cockroaches, very outdated and worn down. Air conditioner barely worked.
