Our room was very clean and comfortable! Our lake view room was amazing, the balcony was great for coffee and relaxing! Was within walking distance to Arnold Ferry for second part of our trip to Mackinac Island for a couple days. Was very easy walk to eat at The Rusted Spoke and Dixie Saloon and to see Icebreaker Mackinaw Museum. Would stay again!!!

Happy with our stay.

Stayed 2 nights in king suite with hot tub. Room was clean. Hot tub was clean including jets. Front desk was friendly. Over all stay was good for the price. We didn't swim in pool (water was too cold) or go in spa area. Beach area was alright nice and sandy. Was a close walk to the ferry.

Bathroom had the fridge and microwave stuffed in a corner with wires awkwardly exposed. Bathroom fan fixture lights had no covers so you could see into the fixture. Same fixture fan didn't work. Air conditioner grille was pretty dirty as was the carpet. Staff was business like, but not exactly cordial. Breakfast was pretty mundane. Ice machine in the stairwell was growing algea.

I wonder how this hotel has got 3 star ratings when the building was way poor in cleaning and the whole room was totally smelly like a weed smell. There were cob webs and room was smelly at all time. There is no provision for setting the room temperature also. It’s totally not recommendable
