I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was perfect, the staff was friendly, but the room was smaller than expected and there were some service issues that left me disappointed.

The room was a bit smaller than other places I've stayed in, and there was some noise from housekeeping carts and staff talking outside.

Service

Despite some issues, the staff was friendly and helpful overall, arranging our ferry pick-ups and city tours. However, there was a concerning incident of accusing me of fraud, which was very disappointing.

The dining experience was average; the food was okay but nothing special. The rate included dining, but the options could be improved for a nicer hotel experience.

The hotel offered basic facilities without any standout features. It served its purpose, but nothing extraordinary.

6.4/10

The hotel's location was a big plus for us, being centrally located in Mackinaw City with easy access to shopping and dining options. The rooms, while cozy, had a slight odd smell and could have used a touch-up the next morning. However, being at the end of the floor offered a quiet environment. The service was friendly and accommodating, despite a lack of mask-wearing and other issues. The hotel's location, although a bit tricky to find due to poor signage, was still convenient for exploring the area. Overall, a mixed experience with some positives and negatives to consider.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms had a slight odd smell and needed a touch-up the next morning. They were also smaller and not as visually appealing, but the end-of-floor location provided some peace and quiet.

Service

7.0

The service was pleasant and helpful, especially considering our late arrival time.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location was the primary reason for choosing it, as it was close to shopping and dining options in Mackinaw City. Although not well-marked on the second floor, we appreciated its walkability to the lake and convenience to local attractions.

Dining

5.0

This was disappointing, especially considering the room rate inclusion. The restaurant was located on the third floor, which was a bit inconvenient with only one elevator in the far corner of the parking lot.

Facilities

6.0

However, some amenities like the hot tub remained open despite orders prohibiting it.
