Really nice hotel, great views of the bridge, Nice little pool, quite part of town on the banks of lake Michigan, Great base to explore the area and visit the pretty British town on Mackinaw Island - Greta stay
2-night trip

Friendly staff, quick and simple check in and check out, very clean room.
1-night trip

8/10

Overall, this motel was a solid 8-9/10. The room was small/cozy. The "lake view" was a bit of a stretch based on the back window or out the front door. My kids did appreciate the heated pool, but opening at 11 seemed strange.
2-night trip

10/10

This was a great stop for the night on a trip further north. The view of the bridge was wonderful, especially after the fog lifted and it was lit up. Check in was easy and the man was very friendly and helpful. Pool looked nice but we didnt get to try it out. The place is close to some great things.
