Room was clean, fair price, great location. Loved having a room with balcony overlooking the lake, it was worth the extra money for the view I would definitely stay here again Only negatives were: ice machine was not working, pool did not appear swimmable to me

Check in was great and the views were, also. Our room was very disappointing. The screen door to the balcony was badly ripped and the handle on the slider was broken. The tub needed replaced and the bathroom window was broken and taped over. The beds felt clean and were very comfortable.

Tiny, smelly. One room has moldy baseboards around the shower. Another had toilet that hadn't been cleaned in some time, with yellow deposits of some sort below the water line. We'll never go there again.

This hotel was good for sleeping but don’t expect much else. They were draining the pool when we visited and upon check-in they didn’t inform us of this but we overheard another guest asking about waterpark passes and we then found out they were offering complimentary passes to a nearby hotel, but this was not offered to us, we had to ask. We ended up using the other hotel’s beach more than this one because it was cleaner. The balconies were very nice and the view was wonderful! Rooms were clean and beds were nice. If you call Shepler’s ferry their free shuttle will actually pick you up at the motel which was very nice. Also very convenient location to most things downtown mackinaw. If you’re just using the motel for sleeping and not much else then it’ll get the job done.

The toilet holder was broke. The drain to the tub was not secured. Cob webs on ceiling. The screen to back door was a mess. And windows dirty. The only good thing about our stay was the guy was able to put me on the ground level as I have a bad knee.

The property was fine, but the doors were definitely not secure which could have posed an issue, we loved the views and the access to the lake, the pool was out of commission our entire stay which is a big deal for the kids.

Looked nothing like the photos. For the price it's an okay place to sleep for one night, but that's very subjective. As long as you expect no frills & questionable cleanliness. It looked and smelled like I was staying at a divorced deadbeat dad's apartment that hasn't seen a vacuum in 5 years. I think this should have been a $40 motel for what it actually looks like. I think they get away with higher because it's close to the Mackinac Island ferry. But if you're looking for the cheapest possible, I think the bed was clean so I was happy about that.

The place was very dirty, I actually wanted to leave after seeing it but they make you sign at the desk if you cancel you will still have to pay. The view to see the Mackinaw Bridge was the only saving grace. The shower had rust stains & still had the used bar soap from a previous customer. The shower curtain had mold & rust on it. The bedding was awful , the blanket had spots on it. All & all it was terrible and I would advise against staying there.

This property has a beautiful view but the room was dirty. Sliding door to balcony didn’t lock. Balcony screen was ripped. Window in bathroom was broken and taped together. Water in tub was gray. We moved the little table by the beds to plug in charger and was very dirty. Sheets had sand in them. We stayed one night, quick in and out.
