I wish I'd known how filty and small the rooms are. They put us in a room that hadn’t been cleaned from the previous guest. Yuck. We wanted to go get a room elsewhere but they wouldn't refund us because it was already past "cancelation time". So if you arrive after that time and find the place unacceptable, you are stuck staying there unless you want to eat the cost. BTW, the mattresses are the worst!!! 2 days later and my body still aches from "sleeping" there. If you want to stay beach side, don't stay here. It's a $100 a night upgrade. Not worth staying here just to save a few bucks!

As I was sitting in the parking lot of Hamilton Inn, I went to Travelocity website to put in my dates of stay which was that night I put in the 20th and 21 September Friday night to Saturday. I get a text message saying welcome congratulations blah blah blah. You are now scheduled for the 21st and 22 September that was not correct. I called the front desk sitting in the parking lot to correct it I did not go into the lobby because I was trying to do this immediately and they will not cancel it nor give my money back and so I did not stay at the Hamilton M. I had to go across the street to another hotel. I called Ralph Travelocity, and they could see that I was trying to correct it and they called the manager of the hotel Hamilton to know avail.

This was a comfortable but dated facility in need of a refresh and modernization. It was adequate for our needs, but the breakfast served was very mediocre, and the same served everyday. We ate breakfast elsewhere after the first day. Beds were comfortable and the facility was quiet.

The staff especially front desk were not welcoming they acted like checking you in and any question were bothering them. Breakfast food options were great but it was packed and not enough staff because they kept running out of food so what we could get was good. Not sure that we would stay in the future we found there are so many options for staying in the area.

Large room, with balcony overlooking the water. Large comfortable bed. Large sofa & table & chairs. The hotel itself was older and had a little musty smell upon entering the lobby. It was VERY clean, when cleaned, but cleaning crew were still cleaning rooms at 8:00 at night. Price was slightly above average to high on the weekends. Breakfast was not great, same food every day for 4 days. Long lines for pancakes or waffles.

We arrived late at night and were checked in super fast with a late check out added, which we needed after a very long travel day. Front desk staff was awesome and our room attendant Charmaine had the room super clean and organized. Great view of the lake as well, we will be back. Thank you!

Very nice motel but the beds are so high. I couldn't get into the bed and had to have help whenever getting in which was an inconvenience as I had to have help during the night for the bathroom. Probably won't be able to stay there next visit to Mackinaw City.

This place should be ashamed of what they charge for this outdated, dirty, overly crowded hotel. 1. Dead bugs everywhere 2. Entire hotel is rundown and old 3. Elevators literally shake and make noises 4. The musty smell was overwhelming. Like a damp basement. 5. Breakfast is literally the poorest breakfast I’ve ever seen. Only drink options were coffee, OJ, water. Foods were: premade rubbery eggs, ham, pancakes, 3 cold cereals, a bowl of canned fruit, make your own waffle (only 2 waffle irons so good luck in that line since each waffle takes 2.5min to cook!). That’s it. That’s EVERYTHING. A Holiday Inn Express breakfast puts this place to shame, that’s how bad it was. There isn’t even a cooler with yogurt or anything. And it is so crowded you’ll wait in a line that wraps the dining room waiting for this. I’ve stayed at hotels for $100/night that were 10x cleaner and better ran than this place. Only positive was that the toilet had its own door so others could ready at the sink at the same time.
