Gem in the north
The bed was perfect. Firm and no roll to the center. Definitely not a mattress from a box! Great water pressure in the shower. Room is very spacious and fabulous vinyl plank floor.

What…an experience.
The room was very nice and updated. Cleanliness of the room was just fine, except the fact that there were gnats invading the room, and they seemed to stem from the bathroom? Assuming they were coming from the drain. Very bothersome. Luckily we spent most of our time outside the hotel or walking Mackinaw. The beach was full of trash. The parking lot was full of trash. No recycling bins, and the front desk attendant clearly did not want anything to do with working. I think next time we will be paying the extra $80 a night to stay at a name brand hotel.

Tremendous view of Lake Huron, right on the beach. Lock for entry to room needs to be repaired. Key got stuck and needed to manipulate doorknob to insert and remove. Shuttle pick up for ferry to Mackinac Island was a great amenity, offered to all hotels in area.

We liked that it had a balcony looking at the beach of Lake Huron. However, other guests were smoking pot and the smell just lingered on the outdoor patio…like wafted from other patios! I don’t think this should be allowed. Couldn’t enjoy sitting out there. The fireworks could be viewed from there too, but not only was my morn coffee patio time shortened but couldn’t stand the smell for fireworks either! Breakfast was off site but we got a coupon.

It’s a good place to stay, but had some details that could be improved, friendly staff, everything is close we could leave the car parked and walk downtown, recommended.

“Waterpark” was not open. Indoor pool was freezing. Lounge chairs on the beach were falling apart. Lightning fixtures in room did not work.

Great place!
This is an older hotel that I had stayed in years ago. BUT!! It has been beautifully renovated with blonde knotty pine walls. Smelled like fresh wood(which I love!) when we walked through the door. The lady in the office was extremely friendly and helpful. We stayed on the bottom level, which had a beautiful glass walk out door to a little patio on the beach. Beds were comfy. Have absolutely no complaints! Will stay here again
