Meh - par for course in Mac City

Surprised how clean the rooms were based on the exterior of the hotel. Room was nice and the beds were comfy. Breakfast was mediocre at best.

Terry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice family room with deck overlooking the beach and lake. Lovely view. Very nice swimming pool, which kids thoroughly enjoyed. Sparkling clean with fresh towels provided at pool. Front desk staff friendly and helpful, altho I was accidentally charged for 5 instead of 4 ferry tickets; and I wish the front desk would have asked what age kids I was buying tickets for and then informed me that 4yrs and under are free. We were overall happy with stay but $680 for two nights was definitely overpriced.
Claire, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The view was amaxing. The room and furnishings are very dated. The walls are either thin or both sides of neighbors were hearing impaired. The TV's were very loud well after midnight.
Andrea, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel convenient to ferry

Convenient location to catch the ferry to Mackinac- easy walking distance plus hotel had discounted ferry tickets available at the front desk. Also easy walking distance to restaurants, etc. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub area. Breakfast was standard but nothing special- was included.
