This was a clean and safe motel for our stay and vacation to Mackinac Island. It’s very close to the ferry docks & a shuttle was even available to take us to the ferry. We would definitely stay here again!

Had to be the cleanest motel I have ever stayed at! And they were not stingy with the bath towels! Any the grounds were impeccable. Breakfast is very basic: coffee, milk and toast but doable. Fantastic find!

★★★★★ We had an excellent stay and were very happy with the overall experience. The room was extremely clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Everything felt fresh and organized, and the bathroom was spotless as well. The staff were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout our stay. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy, and we always felt welcomed. The location was also very convenient, with easy access to nearby restaurants, stores, and local attractions. Parking was simple, convenient, and easily accessible, which made our stay even more comfortable. The hotel itself was quiet, safe, and well maintained. The beds were comfortable, the room had everything we needed, and we had no issues during our stay. Overall, this was a very pleasant experience. The cleanliness, excellent service, convenient location, and easy parking made this hotel a great choice. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Price was great. Convenient to amenities and shuttle to ferry docks. Clean room. Great front desk staff. Not much for breakfast, but it’s something - cereal, milk, juice, toast, yogurt, muffins, coffee. Digital sign said discounted ferry tickets, but they said they don’t do that anymore, so I wish they would change the sign
