This property needs alot of updating. Its a very old building it has a musty smell and the bathroom was extremely small. Our floor was slanted and had to sleep with our head at the foot of the bed. It was clean and the hot water was great.

This hotel has just been taken over by new management a month ago. I can easily see that the last people left it in very poor conditions. Good luck to the new owners, they have a long road ahead. As far as where this place is located; couldn’t be any better! Fast trip to shopping, excellent dinning next door and very close to the ferry’s.

Overall Review Knights Inn - Mackinaw City, MI

We stayed one night -overall it was great location a little noisy being right by highway. Older hotel, but comfortable, clean and friendly. Price was great for what we needed for the night, might stay elsewhere for longer stay.
