We were in Mackinac Island for a couple days with the first day being for work. We stayed the first night at the Grand Hotel, while it looks amazing from the outside and should be an elevated experience, the room was not at all nice and very disappointing. We had already scheduled to stay in town the second night at the Pontiac lodge partly for the price compared to the Grand. We were very happy and pleased with the room that was much nicer than the Grand and had a nice view of Main street. Comfortable bed, nice bathroom with a large soaking tub. If you want to stay in town I can highly recommend the Pontiac!

This place was absolutely perfect to call home for the night! I went at the end of March so it was very cold and a lot of the shops were still closed for the season but I loved every bit of the island and this lodge luckily stays open year round which saved my butt! This place is clean, quiet, comfy, so so close to the water and right downtown where all the good stuff is! I’d stay here over and over again. The staff was so very friendly and helpful, we were thrilled with our stay!
