"Sitting right on the beach this hotel is walking distance from downtown shops and the ferry to Mackinac Island. Nice clean rooms, lots of breakfast options and friendly staff. The bed however was a little firm for my liking and the balcony on our 4th floor room needed some attention. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again."

"The hotel was in a great location & we loved being right on the beach. The bedding & towels were clean but the rest of the room wasnt as clean- the walls were noticeably dirty & the shower faucets didnt look very clean. That said, for the price & location, it was a good deal & we enjoyed our stay. The pool was cloudy but you can swim in the lake. The employee in the front office was super friendly & helpful."

"Room was clean, bed was good, close to everything like restaurants, the water, shops. Did not like the breakfast ordeal of walking to the next door hotel to eat breakfast with so many people and the lines. The buffet is not set up very well. Drinks should be in another location like even at the end of the line. People had to break through the line to get their drinks. If it had been raining I wouldnt be happy to walk next door. Thank goodness it wasnt. In all my travels never had to go to another hotel to eat."

"We paid the higher fee for views of the water. It was lovely and worth it. The sound alone was soothing. A bit chilly to keep the door open all night but we enjoyed sitting on the patio."

"Mackinac Beach Hotel is always a great stop for rest and relaxation as well as a perfect spot for enjoyment of the water and scenery. The desk staff is welcoming and all of the other staff is friendly and super friendly. Being able to sit on the deck or on the beach is a plus for the traveler. A great bargain for the money!"

"It was a great view of the beach. The staff was super friendly. The room was updated but the bathroom could use some work. Just looked dated. Everything functioned as it should and really have no complaints. It was well worth the money and in walking distance to everything. I would stay here again."

"The location was perfect as it was right on the water, unit was renovated however, getting new shower curtains and rods would have made it more put together. For the price it was not a bad place to stay. The staff is really nice. I\'m actually really picky as well."

"There are many hotel/motel choices in Mackinaw. We are happy we chose Bayside...everything was clean and comfortable and we would stay again. Ido recommend washing the windows....to look out them and look at the beautiful view was hindered by the \"stuff\" on them."

August 2025
"In a pinch I would stay there. The rooms are truly outdated, and had an oder. The frayed bath mat that probably hasn\'t been removed for cleaning deterred us from showering. Maybe if shoes were worn. Dark and depressing, could only be in the room to sleep. But then again, beds were not comfortable could feel the springs. For the money they are raking in, you think they could update, removing carpet and replace the \'90s bedspreads, perhaps a lamp or power strip with USB charging capabilities."

"It was a nice upgraded room was clean and the view was amazing"

August 2025
"The property is dated, but it\'s clean, comfortable, and has the amenities we need for an overnight stay. Being on the beach is a nice plus. Also, we like the location - a little way out from the hubbub of downtown, but not too far out."

"2025 Road Construction alert! Highway 23 is undergoing major construction all summer long affecting all the motels South of the light. Noise is unbeleivable. We were lucky that night as they were a little North of us for the night.The Manager Zackary was very nice. Took care of a minor tv issue right away .We stayed next door in Bridgeview lake side unit just South in an upper room with a great view of the bridge. Nice quiet room just renovated. Would come back but not until construction is done this fall. Great location."

September 2025
"Checkin was easy. We arrived late and were delighted by a beautiful view from our balcony of the fully lit bridge. Our room was small, but clean and all we needed as we had to leave early."

"Staff was wonderful rooms were spotless clean and it was very enjoyable because it was nice and quiet. Also, I would recommend this to anyone what I did like is that there was no carpeting in the room that told me right there that we had a clean room because carpets I dont care where you go are filthy."

"The hotel was fine but the most extraordinary thing was the lady on the reception. She was a great human being and helped me and my family immensely, in every way she could. Unfortunately doesn\'t her name but wanted to give a very big shout out for something specifically that she did for us. The room that I booked in this hotel was having just a queen bed which was a mistake to book and which understandably couldn\'t accommodate all my family (five persons, two adults and 3 kids). When I went inside and noticed how small it was I went back to her and informed that I didn\'t realize that the room would be so small for which she replied that she herself was surprised why I chose such a small room. I explained that it was my mistake and I didn\'t pay too much attention while I was making reservation. That nice lady without asking me upgraded to a bigger room and made this whole experience so awesome. Thanks to her."

"Motel was fairly clean. Beds were decently comfortable. Bathroom was spotless which was a huge bonus. Only complaint was it was slightly musty which is to be expected as Im sure theyre shut down for a majority of the year due to winter. But overall it was pretty good. However, there is access to the 2 water parks in the town and I DO NOT recommend either one. Went to check out both and they are both not only dated but the water at both was cloudy and dingy looking. You could not see your feet if you were brave enough to go in the water. The emerald cove one said it had waterslides which it did but they were blocked off and the pool beneath them was empty and gross looking. Also the lazy river was also cloudy and yellowish brown looking. I wouldnt let my child in either one especially since I wouldnt venture into either one as well. Mind you, we stayed the first weekend in August so you should think that they would be up to date and busy."

"We were looking for a place to sleep. Not hang out in the room. It fit our needs perfectly. They are obviously remodeling and have not finished. At this point it just needs the finishing touches. Mirror in the bathroom & some shelves in there. Will definitely stay again!"

August 2023
"I sought a clean room with basic amenities (mini cool and microwave and quiet surroundings), and I received them. The location is excellent for Mac. City attractions. The interior (blond knotty pine) and the red and white bed linens looked new. Comfortable mattress. Some bathroom tiles need grout, and some exterior items (roof soffits) and outdoor benches need paint."

"We were not able to stay at the Welcome Inn, but were moved to a room at the Days Inn. The staff at the Days Inn were friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable. Thank you for making sure that we had a room for the night."

"Pool House/Pool are bad. Doors to the pool house we couldnt get open. Ton of construction - not their fault, difficult to navigate accessing the property, property wasnt forecoming amenities information. Reactive to maintenance issues. For the price the facility/room it was fine. Now Location on the water was a dream. And I was able to just block out everything else and watch the sunset!"
