We enjoyed our stay. The chairs in the front lawn are so enjoyable. The hotel has been remodeled and is well kept. Great location. They transfer bags to the fairy and they can hold you bag on check in and check out . The grill is expensive but worth it , we loved it. We would return

Unique turn of century hotel that has been fully updated for a comfortable and enjoyable island experience. The staff was very accommodating, the rooms were comfortable, but rather small, and the hotel and rooms were very clean. We didn’t have a chance to use the amenities as we were only there one night but there were plenty to choose from.

We enjoyed sitting on the porch playing Farkle. The Ice House was also lovely...great milk shakes! Our 1 bedroom suite was wonderful. My only suggestion is to put a hook in the bathroom to hang wet towels. Great hotel and staff.

The hotel was beautiful and the staff were very helpful and professional. The 4 star rating vs 5 was due to a filthy toilet (unspeakable things left behind) in our room, the floor in our room was dirty, and our room fridge not working. I would stay again, but I feel like our room was missed during part of the cleaning process.

We only stayed there for one night. The location was very convenient, and the room was very clean. Overall, we liked this hotel a lot for the price we paid on Labor Day. If we had stayed just one day earlier, I would have had to pay triple what I paid. A very good deal!

Such a great hotel. We had never been to Mackinac before and really loved this hotel and the location. There is a bike rental right out front, so you can easily rent a bike and ride around the island. It was really close to all the other things we wanted to do on the island. We enjoyed the hot tub too. That was nice after a long day of walking around. Overall we loved our stay and will definitely come back!

We enjoyed our stay at Island house. We loved the location being on the Main Street but away from the crowds. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We stayed in a small room on the 4th floor with the slanted ceiling dormer- it was cute and cozy. We asked about getting an iron and they delivered it and the ironing board to our room. We ate a delicious lunch at the Ice House and played cards in the lobby at the coffee table. They have a small collection of food and drinks to buy that was convenient. Each night they put out a dish of fudge in the lobby for guests. This was our second stay and hope there will be more!

The room was clean and everything worked!! I had to stand on my bed to change the air conditioner temperature and air flow!! Don’t recommend this type of room for older people!!
