Do not stay here….
The photos on hotels.com do not reflect what the rooms are. There are newer cabins on the property, the photos of those are the only posted. Our first room had a smell, the sheets had something on them, the screen was torn, there was a hole in the ceiling the balcony was falling apart, and there was a chaise lounge couch on it soaked from the rain, musty and so dirty. We kindly asked for a new room to which the front desk said they had upgraded us to this room… we had booked a double queen courtyard and they gave us a balcony beachside. We moved to the courtyard and this room was somewhat passable, still smelly and still not worth the money that was spent! It was too late to move hotels and the strict cancellation policy would not allow us to get our money back. Expedia.com did provide a credit on our next stay.

Scam
Completely misleading photos. Shows only the 3 cabins by the water and does not show 95% of rooms which are cheap and dirty and look nothing like advertised. Wooden coat hangers in place of broken locks on all windows…

It was a very nice room for the price. Check in was by a very pleasant lady. The beds were comfortable and the room and especially the bathroom was very clean. It was a quiet room with no traffic noise in the night. Overall, I would stay at this hotel again.

The hotel is so outdated and old. It doesn't look or smell good. It needs a lot of work to be considered as a good place to stay at and enjoy. The location is not bad at all, you are close to the lake but I didnt like my room and stayed there only for the cheap price. I will not stay there again and definitely wont recommend it to others.

Do not waste your time!
When we arrived to chrck in our room had ceiling tiles falling out of the ceiling and it was dirty. The replacement room we were offered was also bad. Not only that when i was checking in there was a line of people all with the same complaint. They kept my money and refuse to refund me.

Had room number 501 at first. The smell in the room was horrible. It was dirty. Asked to switch rooms. Changed to room 502 next door. The room wasnt much better. Noticed black mold growing on the wall paper peeling off the walls. Stained sheets. Horrible conditions. When I went to show the hotel clerks pictures of the rooms conditions and ask for a refund. They were giving the room 501 to another costumer. Without cleaning it. Minutes after we left it. Complaining about the smell and cleaniness of the room. Will not be returning. Unfortunately the owners own most of the hotels in Mackinac city.

It was a dry place with a place to sleep, running water, and roof. That’s about it. Room was dusty with bugs in the window, no microwave or coffee pot, and all old furnishings. The office was closed half of the stay at night. The pool was dirty and the hot-tub was at least 115 degrees, which they didn’t fix after many people asked. A family arrived in the middle of our trip in the room next to us and they didn’t even have it cleaned for them. For an extra 50$ go stay somewhere else way nicer.
