The unit was very spacious and clean, with two bedroom areas, one with a sofa. In the middle of these was a large bathroom and convenient wet bar area with microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker. The room had recently been redone with new carpets and bedspreads. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful. I give it only four stars, based on the fact that the breakfast didn't have a great deal of variety. Other than that, it was a very comfortable place to stay and well-priced.These comments are from a verified stay121 people found this helpful.

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Stacie from Rochester Hills stayed in July 2015Clean hotel and very spacious. It was perfect for an overnight stay before heading to Mackinac Island. We never went to the beach from the hotel but did not look super nice from the balcony. The pool was nice and fairly clean. The hotel staff was not super friendly but they were never rude. Overall pleasant stay for the one night.These comments are from a verified stay92 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

The owner/manager even went above and beyond to accommodate us when he realized I was given an initial reservation via the Chamber of Commerce portal when they were actually booked that weekend. He immediately called me at home and offered us two connecting rooms for the price of one and I gladly accepted. When we arrived we learned there had been a cancellation and we ended up with one room with a king and two queens -- still more than I originally thought I was getting! We like this place because we have adult children who travel with us and with the suite, they get their own bed and privacy. I would not hesitate to recommend this place!These comments are from a verified stay94 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Kathleen from Farmington Hills stayed in June 2015Room adequate and comfortable. Front desk staff exceptional ... friendly, attentive and helpful. Breakfast plentiful but could have had healthier options ... more fresh fruit, less heavy-gravy-covered-whatever-it-was. (I didn't taste it.) That said, I would still stay again if I return to Mackinaw City. The location was ideal. (BAD time for a visit due to the dense little bugs everywhere, but this was not the fault of the hotel:)These comments are from a verified stay109 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|Although there was an electrical power outage just as we arrived for our pre-booked rooms, the receptionist, Mahalia Wright, was very calm and reassuring though the computers were down, and made sure we were comfortable with a drink of coffee while she and the manager worked on the problem. Our two families got upgrades to two suites. We were allowed to use the pool even though the pumps were not working. The rooms were above and beyond our expectations in cleanliness. We will stay here again if in the area.These comments are from a verified stay91 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Thank youThese comments are from a verified stay105 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We went up for our anniversary. Was surprised that the room was big enough for our whole family. We have 4 small children and it is very difficult to find a room that will accommodate us. We will definitely be back with our children. Enjoyed the beach. The hot breakfast was a nice surprise. Water park wristbands for the children will be a nice bonus!These comments are from a verified stay107 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|I have stayed here before. The view is spectacular and just off the busy area near the ferries. The staff there are extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The rooms are clean, and well-equipped, including fridge and microwave (and they work).

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Judith from Swartz Creek, stayed in October 2014We have stayed here a couple of times over the last few years and we will keep coming back! It is the best value in Mackinaw City in my opinion. Beautiful rooms that look out on the beach in Lake Huron. There is really not a bad room as far as I'm concerned, The pool is nice and the breakfast is hot and good. My favorite is the belgium waffles you can make yourself! We took friends with us this time and they couldn't believe the price included all you got. The rooms were clean and spacious.These comments are from a verified stay90 people found this helpful.

Mackinaw Beach & BayMackinaw Beach & Bay Amanda from Comstock Park stayed in September 2014We were pleasantly surprised with the hotel.
