Mackinaw, Michigan
Passing thru and was tired got a room with a hot tub that was dirty. Once we went in the room had no light had to use our cell flash light at this point we found the lights over the bed. The breakfast was no better but it was a room. Not sure if we would give them another change since we reported the issues and it seems it went unheard.

This hotel staff was the worst I have ever encountered from the snickering and giggling when I brought down the dorty swim trunks that were left in the room to the mold in the shower that we discovered in the morning that they just dismissed and told me they could give us another room and will call when it is clean which they never did. DO NOT stay here I know I will never again. And absolutely to response from the manager either.

Extremely dated furniture. In room furniture looks like original since the 50s or 60s.
We did have a 3rd floor overlooking the beach and were able to see the fireworks. Oh, skip the breakfast - it was cold. Grab a 2 for 1 coupon and go uptown to the breakfast buffet.

There aren't enough outlets in the room. While looking for one behind the night stand, I saw a lot of dust accumulated behind it.
Not having an elevator made it difficult for me having to climb to the third floor.
