The proximity to the Bridge was amazing for sunset/sunrise views. The room was small, but perfect for a one night stay as a solo traveler. Bed was decent and my mark of any good hotel - sleep timer on the TV- check, and decent pillows - check.

This is an original motel, I think. It's been beautifully maintained. The recent bathroom reno is excellent. Our room gave us all we wanted while we prepped our boat to launch: fridge, Kuerig coffee maker, comfortable lounge chair, breakfast table and most important, a very comfy bed. Plus, it's right on the water surrounded by a park!

I had an extremely pleasant stay in this motel. The location was wonderful, there was a beautiful view of the bridge and it was in walking distance to most of the Mackinaw City attractions. The room was extremely clean. The check in staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There was an outdoor pool, it looked very clean, but it was too cold to use it while I was there. Don't expect luxury, but it's a clean, continent place to stay for a family vacation.

The room was clean. There wasn't a microwave in the room, but there was one on the property that could be used. Having a refrigerator in the room is always handy. We could sit and take pictures of the lake and Mackinac Bridge on the beach behind the hotel. It was too cold to go in the pool or the lake. The hotel was within walking distance to the ferry. However after walking all day on the island, it was nice that there was free transportation back to the hotel.
