Never Again - Terrible
We had several maintenance issues. At 4 a.m (1st night) we had to call for assistance due to the window heating unit smoldering with a heavy burning plastic smell. Zack did everything he could, but they were at full capacity, and had no room to move us to. He brought us a box fan to put in the window to draw the air out & we could not use the heat (Michigan weather). It was a sleepless night. Our room keys (both) were faulty, and had us making trips to the front desk to be replaced. We witnessed two other clients during our time at the front desk with the same issue. The next day we were moved to a different room which was on the first floor and the sliding patio door had no working lock. It was broken off and removed, so at any time anyone could enter our room from the patio. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was not working and the caulk in the tub was moldy. The front desk manager (Michelle) was kind and tried to assist but can only refer customers to the corporate office. I did call the corporate office and was immediately shut down and offered no compensation, or apology. They told us there was no compensation since we stayed in the room, even though they were at full capacity and the heater failed at 4 am. We chose this location for their AAA rating, but it was the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I would not recommend this hotel because the corporate office will not take responsibility. The hotel has many maintenance issues needing to be addressed.

Worst experience
I had the worst experience with tthis company costumers service was terrible. Calling corporate was also a bad experience. We call in advanced to let them know we will be coming in late. We decide to drive to the location in mackinaw city. We had a horrible accident on or way to the hotel. We got stranded with no car ,the car was a total lost. We call the same night to explain the situation and no one was any help . The front desk was rude gave us a corporate number. When we call it was the same we got the run around. The accidente was something that we couldn't control. No empathy on there part.

We were sixth in line to get our room key. The staff seemed to take forever however they were very friendly and apologetic. It would have helped to have one more person on staff to assist.

Amazing clean friendly hotel
I love this hotel! Best place for the value off season. Breakfast is yummy, hot tub is divine. Always clean. We had an amazing view of the beach this time! Love being on the 3rd floor. It was packed this time and a line for breakfast but it still was yummy. The front desk ladies are always friendly and helpful.

Right on the Water - Clean and Comfy
We stayed here overnight while making the trek to Mackinac Island. The reviews were not favorable but we decided to give them a chance and they proved all their negative reviews to be wrong. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and taken care of very kindly and professionally. The place is a little outdated, but very clean and charming. The decor was beautiful, and like I said, very ornate and charming. The artwork was amazing as it appeared to be done by local artists. The room was clean and very comfy, and the breakfast was great. Kudos to the girl running it as it was busy and crazy, she kept the food hot and full. I would definitely stay here again and also want to mention it is in a great location to walk to restaurants, shops and the ferry of course!

We had a patio door that opened up to the wster. Absolutely wonderful view. I rate that a 5 star. But. When the patio door is broke and does not lock. Its a safety and theft concern. .ade me not sleep well. Other problems are minor but sink is really low and was not draining. Toilet was wobbling on the floor. Pictures and mirrors had sticky stuff on them. And when we 1st got the room the smell of the overused Fabuloso cleaning burned our sinuses so we aired the room out and left for few hours. Other than that it was ok and better than a kot of other rooms in machinaw
