Mackinaw Beach and Bay Inn and Suites shows signs of age, but it is located right on the water with a lovely view of Lake Huron. The room tvs are small, but the channel selection is excellent. It's about a 20 minute walk to the center of town where shopping for souvenirs is located, so the Beach and Bay Inn is quiet. Suites with balconies are spacious and have a marvelous view of Mackinaw Island in the distance. The refrigerator and microwave enable the guest to do some cooking. There is a market/foodstore a few minutes by car from the Inn. The staff is helpful and friendly, especially the gentleman who came in at 4:30 AM each day to cook breakfast for the guests. My toilet would flush properly my first day and within an hour, two maintenance personnel came and got it working. I enjoyed my stay.

Too far from downtown
This hotel is about 1/2 mile from downtown where all the shops and restaurants are located. I was sorry we weren’t closer. The lobby was good but our room was run down, rust on the vents, dirty balcony. I thought I was booking 2rooms and it was one big room with the bathroom in the middle separating the beds. Not good if you want privacy.

Great lake view. The room set up was different than usual with the bathroom being between the 2 bedroom areas and created nice privacy. The rooms were quiet at night and in the morning.
