Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Nina from Grand Rapids stayed in August 2016I was pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness, location, view, and set up of the room. We did request a room not on the ground floor, but received a ground floor room. The room was very quiet though, which was the main concern. We will be returning!These comments are from a verified stay106 people found this helpful.

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Jeffrey from North Ridgeville stayed in August 2016We enjoyed our stay at Mackinaw Beach & Bay. 90% of the rooms are lakeside, which was amazing. We stayed in one of the balcony Suites with our 2 grown boys and had plenty of room. Pros: Clean Room, Easy to get to, gorgeous views, very helpful staff with lots of knowledge of the area, and willing to recommend site seeing activities. Cons: Decor is a little dated, TV's in the room could have been larger, lots of spiders and cobwebs on the balcony (which was immediately remedied by maintenance as soon as I called) Overall, great experience, would definitely consider visiting again.These comments are from a verified stay103 people found this helpful.

Employees were friendly! Loved the all day coffee availability!! Breakfast was good but could use some veggies to balance out the eggs, sausage, gravy!! Beaches were clean as well!These comments are from a verified stay103 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Nice, spacious, clean, modern room with a nice deck featuring a great view of Lake Huron. Pool was nice too. Breakfast had several choices, only some of which provided temptation; sausage was undercooked. I'd stay there again, even though it's more of a short drive into town than a long walk.These comments are from a verified stay100 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Our suite was nice, clean and modern and overlooked the beach. The drain in our bathtub was slow, so I mentioned it at the desk in the morning and it was fixed by the time we returned in the afternoon. The manager at the front desk was there from early morning until evening and very friendly. He offered all sorts of advice and suggestions on things to do. We bought ferry tickets right there at the desk and the shuttle picked us up right at the door.These comments are from a verified stay87 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|The staff, especially John, was extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean and very comfortable. The breakfast had a good variety of choices and plenty available even late in the morning. The hotel was close enough to the ferry dock to walk to. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to my friends.These comments are from a verified stay113 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|This was our third stay at this privately owned hotel. The suites are spacious, with two rooms plus a kitchenette with a coffee maker, small refrigerator, sink, and microwave. The rooms are immaculate and face the bay with a view of the bridge and shore. There is a sandy beach area with picnic tables, chairs, and fire pits. The free breakfast is ample. My only (small) suggestion would be to separate the waffles into their own station and maybe add one or two more waffle makers, since this is a very popular option. Hot sausage & eggs, gravy & biscuits, plus toasted items and a variety of cereals and juice plus canned fruit round out the menu. I highly recommend this hotel!These comments are from a verified stay104 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Suzanne from Appleton stayed in July 2016We really enjoyed our stay here, as the setting was beautiful. We loved having the beach front room, sitting on our little patio in the evenings and looking at the lake. Location was great - close to downtown, but yet just a little "off the beaten path" so that we had some peace and quiet. I would definitely consider staying there again on future visits to your beautiful city.These comments are from a verified stay86 people found this helpful.

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Richard from Shelby Twp stayed in June 2016We had a nice room with a beautiful view of Mackinaw Island and the Mackinaw Bridge. The hotel has a wonderful beach. In the evening there was a campfire on the beach. All the rooms have a balcony or enclosed patio. We liked the way the room was laid out. The bathroom was between the two queen beds and the bathroom jutted out to give some privacy to each sleeping area. We had no complaints and would definitely stay there again.These comments are from a verified stay94 people found this helpful.

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay James from Lucasville stayed in June 2016We had a window on the Lake side and it was beautiful and relaxing. Can't wait to go back next year.These comments are from a verified stay96 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We chose this hotel after being recommended by a friend. We arrived right before the peak of the season so it was not very busy. There weren't very many people there. I overheard the manager telling the cashier to make sure that my room would be away from "the bus full of people we are expecting here tomorrow." I thought that was pretty considerate. We only ate breakfast there on our last morning, and it was average. While it was not spectacular, they did have the basics (eggs, biscuits, sausages, yogurt, cereal, bagels, waffles, etc...) and one of the workers remained in the dining room to make sure that we had everything that we needed. We enjoyed the bonfire by ourselves (My husband and I). The rooms are very clean. The beds feel a little stiff. My husband was extremely comfortable and loved the mattress but I prefer mine a little softer. Since it was only us, I took the pillows from the other bed (all rooms are suites with a bed in the living room section). I also brought extra pillows from home. With over five pillows to myself, I definitely made the stiff bed feel pretty comfortable. As long as I have many pillows, I am fine. It was a short walk to the Arnold Ferry. I will definitely choose this hotel again on my next stay.These comments are from a verified stay80 people found this helpful.

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Robert from Okemos stayed in October 2015Love this hotel! Gorgeous views from the balconies. The owner/manager is friendly, informative, and beyond helpful. Breakfast is very good: fruit, juices, cereals, sausage, biscuits/gravy, and really light, fluffy, make-it-yourself hot waffles. Two room suites with small kitchenette are perfect for our travels! One note, for fellow travelers: the rooms are divided by bathroom/kitchenette, not doors.These comments are from a verified stay113 people found this helpful.
