Beautiful little motel right across the street from the beach/bridge. BIG I ❤️ MACKINAW sign in the front yard. Close to town but just far enough to get away from the busy streets and people. Warm pool clean rooms comfy beds. We will definitely stay again!

This was the nicest little hotel. Very clean, and had everything we really needed. We did miss the breakfast that’s given by big chain hotels. Not by fault of this hotel, but there is no where in this town for fast breakfast Also it is SO CLOSE to Shepler’s ferry and the shops downtown. And right across the street was the beautiful ocean

Loved our stay over the 4th of July. Very clean pool area and all the grounds. Nice view of Lake Michigan from our room and the bridge from the front where we sat on the Adirondack chairs. Helpful staff when our TV was not working properly. Highly recommend and would stay there again if we return.

We loved this little hotel. It looks as good as advertised. The room had been thoroughly cleaned. the grounds were beautiful and the pool looked like something from a movie. All we had to do was walk across the street to see & take photos of Lake Huron and the Mackinac bridge. Downtown Mackinaw City and the Mackinac Island Ferry are easily walkable.

We only were at this hotel one night but enjoyed our stay here. The location is very convenient to the downtown area, restaurants, grocery store, ferry to the island, etc.. Our room overlooked the pool and garden which are very nice and was ok for a night. Pretty small and needed a little updating, but clean and sufficient for one night. Our friends next door had the same sized room, but it was updated and much nicer. I would stay here again when in the area.

The was a loud grinding noise at night (only time we were in the room) I could not figure out the source. It came and went. I could not control the a/c. It got either too cold or too warm. Tried every setting. Very frustrating. Woke up several times because of the room temperature issue. Finally put it cold and put the chair in front of it to block the strong far near the bed. Everything else was great. Location is within walking distance of ferry dock.
