The proximity to the Bridge was amazing for sunset/sunrise views. The room was small, but perfect for a one night stay as a solo traveler. Bed was decent and my mark of any good hotel - sleep timer on the TV- check, and decent pillows - check.

This is an original motel, I think. It's been beautifully maintained. The recent bathroom reno is excellent. Our room gave us all we wanted while we prepped our boat to launch: fridge, Kuerig coffee maker, comfortable lounge chair, breakfast table and most important, a very comfy bed. Plus, it's right on the water surrounded by a park!

I had an extremely pleasant stay in this motel. The location was wonderful, there was a beautiful view of the bridge and it was in walking distance to most of the Mackinaw City attractions. The room was extremely clean. The check in staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There was an outdoor pool, it looked very clean, but it was too cold to use it while I was there. Don't expect luxury, but it's a clean, continent place to stay for a family vacation.

mix up on my part our reservation was made for wrong night, but the manager was very rude weve stayed before and were happy, but will not return due to very rude treatment. no blame was put on the hotel for my mistake. The treatment was uncalled for, and there are far too many hotels that are caring, kind and want your service.
