This was a reasonable place to stay with a clean room and close to the water. The check-in had a small hiccup with our room key. The continental breakfast starts rather late at 8:00. The shuttle to and from Shepler Mackinac Island Ferry was excellent from this hotel.

Great location to walk the waterfront and the town. Aimee was super helpful with checking! During this leg of our trip, I mistakenly booked a room for the wrong date by a single day but she was able to get permission to change the date, saving me a little of money, without me even asking! We already booked this place to stay again because it was clean!

The hotel was well located and clean. The beds were comfortable and the staff very helpful. The continental breakfast was very skimpy, cereal and muffins. Otherwise, it is a good hotel to stay at because you can receive a free shuttle to the boats that take you to Mackanac Island.

We love St Ignace and this hotel. Great location. Very clean. Incredible value. Very nice staff. Very close to Shepler’s ferry. Mackinaw Grill (foil baked whitefish is best I’ve ever had) and the Blueberry breakfast restaurant. The “quiet” side so much different and better than Mackinaw City for us.

Room was clean but a bit dated. It was nothing fancy at all but it worked. We liked how close it was to some shops & restaurants. We were able to walk to get the Ferry although they do offer a shuttle.

The Bayside Inn is a great location and within walking distance of many businesses, including the Classic Doc for the Arnold Ferry to Mackinac Island. We were very happy with our stay; our room was clean for the most part, except for a few spots on the wall and ceiling that were dirty. I had seen another review saying the water in their shower was cold; when we stayed, the water heated quickly and stayed hot the entire time. There was a continental breakfast offered that included coffee, yogurt, muffins, bagels, juice, and cereal. Check in/out was seamless. I would definitely stay here again.

This is an older yet well maintained motel complex. Nothing fancy, but everything was satisfactory as I really needed just a place to lay my head before and after visiting Mackinac Island it was extremely convenient to one of the ferries it was within walking distance of several nice restaurants. I'm not even sure why they advertise a breakfast because it was hardly anything except for some cereal and small pastries. And no place to set otherwise well worth money.
