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. Did you find this helpful?|

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Karen from Piedmont stayed in October 2015We enjoyed everything about the Mackinaw Beach & Bay.

And, of course, having a balcony with a beach and bay view was a lot of fun.
