We loved our stay @ The Riviera Motel! I have very fond memories of Mackinac City/Mackinaw Island from my childhood & staying at The Riviera brought those fond memories back. Very clean & extremely friendly staff made the stay enjoyable and the view of the Mackinac Bridge & walking paths all around were incredibly beautiful. We would definitely stay @ The Riviera Motel again!

Front desk persons are very nice. they help to called shuttle bus to take us to the ferry station. very nice view for the sunrise, the motel is located right in front of the Lake. Room is clean. they come to clean every day. If upstairs' sound could be blocked during evening, then it almost a perfect place to stay. In genanel, it is a very good hotel.

Comfortable bed, no breakfast which is some disappointing, amazing view, fairly quiet, parking was a bit challenging when lot full for my handicapped mom. Building needs some TLC as upper balcony rails are scary. Steep steps with another scary rail. All in all would gladly stay again.

The room was decorated very nicely and a small welcome gift of hershey's chocolate kisses in a pretty box with a ribbon was on the bed. The hotel was located on the edge of a state park by the lake and it was nice to walk around the area before dark. However, the room was very small and we had to climb a narrow staircase with torn indoor/outdoor carpeting to get to it. The bed was uncomfortable and there was inadequate lighting in the room.
