Convenient location to catch the ferry to Mackinac- easy walking distance plus hotel had discounted ferry tickets available at the front desk. Also easy walking distance to restaurants, etc. Enjoyed the pool and hot tub area. Breakfast was standard but nothing special- was included.

This hotel is not pet friendly, as I was led to believe on Hotels.com. Otherwise, the hotel is delightful.
Melanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, tired rooms

Location is good, staff was friendly, the property could use some updating. The indoor pool area was well over 90 degrees (air temp) when we were there (mid summer) so that made the pool a lot less refreshing but might be welcome in the cooler months.

My experience

Room smells bad, mattress is too old . Breakfast is good
Bing, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

You decide

Room was full of cobwebs on every light fixture. The room was small , oddly laid out and tiny bathroom. Walls paper thin could hear neighbors TV .Breakfast you had to go out of your building and climb stairs to the 3rd floor. Room sliders opens up to the lake.
Elissa, 2-night trip

This hotel offers rooms with a view of the beach right outside the back porch! I was pleasantly surprised that the large hot tub and pool are open until midnight every day! The free breakfast was decent, including pancakes, eggs, sausage and bacon. My wife and I plan to come back here every summer!
