The property was fantastic- great location, great staff, and spacious room. My room had a smoke scent unfortunately though it was not too strong. As a non-smoker though it was noticeable. Still totally worth it!

Glad we found this place! Staff was so friendly and have gone to extra lengths to make the rooms comfortable. Great location walkable to the pier, plenty of restaurants and attractions. You can even get a discount for mentioning Rainbow. Support great local businesses like this one!

Absolutely fantastic place! The owners were super friendly and had lots of recommendations for places to eat. Great location, no more than a few blocks from everything we had planned. There was also a pool and two hot tubs and several options to sit outdoors. Some of the furnishings are a little dated and the bathroom was small, but everything was well maintained and very clean. Wish we had been able to stay longer. We would definitely choose to stay again!

Great place in Mackinaw City
This is an old-style, independent, family-owned motel. Solid room, good hot shower, and very friendly staff. We got good recommendations about places to eat, how to get to Mackinac Island, and even where the best day sky star-viewing could be found. They have set up a number of outdoor seating areas so when I needed to be out of the room so my husband could take a business call, I found a lovely spot in the shade to sit and read my book. I got the sense that they have a lot of regulars who return every year. Parking was easy--right outside our room.

The owners and staff were very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating to our needs throughout our stay. The indoor pool was wonderful to have on an unseasonably cold, rainy day. The room and property was old but overall charming and well-maintained and provided the experience of staying at a classic motel. The location was perfect for exploring Mackinaw City. We will definitely recommend this motel to others and would like to someday return here ourselves!

Great place to stay
Spent one night on the way to Mackinac Island. It was close, reasonable, clean and the perfect place for the night. It was like going back in time but was in very good condition. Reminded me of my parents house.
