theresa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Comfortable and clean.

Nice stay, unfortunately the hot tub was broken, something that I discovered after I walked the entire perimeter of the island. Otherwise I was very satisfied with the accommodations and the proximity to the "downtown." Would stay again.
Steve, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was very nice, clean and accommodating. Rooms are somewhat small but plenty of room for two people. The grounds are beautiful and plenty of chairs for outdoor sitting right on the water. There are two restaurants attached to the hotel and both are very nice.
Ruth, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Hotel is nestled on a small hill with a breathtaking view of a gorgeous lake. The outdoor area is spectacular, featuring beautiful flowers that line the perimeter and comfortable lounging chairs with fire pits. The room is on the smaller side, but it’s surprisingly comfortable and exceptionally clean. The lobby has plenty of seating areas, two wonderful restaurants, and a mini mart for snacks and liquor. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was in relatively good shape. Rooms are small, and view from room was not interesting. However, we did not go there to spend time in the hotel room. The hotel is in a great location. Convenient to walking from ferry and the shops downtown. We ate breakfast at 1892 and dinner one night at Ice House BBQ on site. Both were great. The front porch and lawn offer great view of the marina and harbor.

Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My first time on Mackinac Island and the staff here were so helpful and efficient. The 4th floor room in the dormered part of the building was big enough for one person. I appreciated that there was still a small table and chairs in the room. I misplaced my credit card in the hotel restaurant, and both the front desk staff and the restaurant staff were very helpful in assisting me with locating it. The hotel was beautiful. Right off the downtown shopping area.

Beautiful property. Rented the Premier Suite for 5 ladies. We had a great time! I wish for the price, a continental breakfast be included, along with a free bike rental! It wasnt cheap, and it was on the 4th floor, with elevator only going to 3rd. Also we intended to use "indoor" heated pool, but it was 40 degrees in the evening, and you have to walk outside on the walkway to go back inside to pool.
