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.

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.

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.

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.

Grace

Disliked: Staff & service
The room was cleaner than expected and large. The free breakfast included was small (breads, cereal, juice) but nice to eat with the view. The staff member that was working the office 8/14 around 9pm was very rude. We waited alone in the reception office, called the phone number & heard it ring in front of us, nobody was there. About 20 minutes later I saw an envelope with my name sitting right on the front desk so I signed the form inside the envelope, left the form on the front desk, and we took the room keys that were also in the envelope. I thought maybe they were left out for us because nobody was coming. As soon as we left the check in area with the keys we were confronted by a staff member in the parking lot immediately who said we had to sign other papers. If she was just standing in the parking lot why didn’t just come check us in? Anyways, despite her unprofessionalism we made it to our room. Would probably stay again for a good deal. It’s right by the ferry docks!

Very nice area and clean reasonable rooms.

No vineyard or views, it's a place that sells wine. Room was clean and smelled clean, staff was friendly and helpful. There are some cute shops nearby and the water and dock across the street were handy. Very nice area as well.
