Our stay was very relaxing and quiet! They provide multiple coupons at the front desk for things to do around town. The hotel is very close to downtown, we didn’t have to drive for anything except to cross the bridge!

It's dated, but clean and a good value. Located directly across the street from the ferry to Mackinac Island, it was the perfect place to stay after our day trip to the island.

Well woke up to a bunch of construction and my sheets were dirty and the pool didn't even open til noon or the water park and the lake view we paid for wasn't a very good view and there coffee they put in your rooms were gross. They wouldn't give us any more pillows or creamer for the coffee our phone didn't even have cords. And there was a funky smell through the whole hotel

You get what you pay for. When we checked in, there were no night shift workers and had to check in for our room down the road at another hotel. This is way better than the Crown Plaza though! Everything was clean. Just felt sketchy at night with no workers in the building.

The front desk immediately upon entering seemed annoyed with our very presence, as if us trying to check in was disturbing them. The room had dried vomit on the floor and up the wall next to the garbage, the housekeepers didn’t have proper supplies (towels) to accommodate our two day stay and we were supplied with less than a roll of toilet paper (again no re-supply readily available). The second floor ice machine was leaking through the ceiling dripping on your head as you walked past on the first floor. The whole carpet was soggy and it is likely that in the very near future someone or something will fall through the floor, or you will get electrocuted trying to use the vending machine while standing in a puddle. The game room, three stories high, had a window open without a screen that a toddler or small child could try to climb through (right at ground level). The ac unit in our room also leaked so the carpet was drenched, so gross. The largest amount of money I have wasted on a hotel room. I recommend this hotel look at hiring friendlier staff that actually want to work with customers, and a maintenance person ASAP because they have some large safety concerns on their hands.

The hotel was clean and good for families with pets. It is old and run down but that didn't matter to us and our 3 kids. The kids loved the water park and it is in walking distance to restaurants and shops.
