Great stay overall

Great stay, right on the water with a great view. Close to everything. Would definitely stay here again. My only complaint was the pillows were too bulky and the coffee wasn’t good so we had to go to the local coffee shop.

No air conditioning in hallways. For an asthmatic this was difficult to manage. Older hotel, but very clean. Bring water shoes, beach is rocky.

Not the friendliest front desk person. Expedia confirmed a top floor room for us, upon check-in we were told that Expedia did that not the hotel so we did not get a top floor. Of course we had an elephant above us. No luggage carts available, and we are on the far end of the hotel from the lobby, there may have been some there but had to make multiple trips. Saint Ignace hotels are expensive, but you may want to consider the extra for a nicer hotel.

This property stated newly remodled. However, the tubs were not changed out and was old and stained. They do not clean the rooms or empty trash. When I ask for clean towels after 2 days, the gentleman at the desk was rude. Others had been before me asking for towels. He told them to put towels in the hall to get washed. He told me to bring the dirty towels down. Which I did not do.

Not impressed

Room was somewhat updated, bathroom was clean, but beds were not comfortable. The two queen bed mattresses were hard and sheets were obviously old because the bottom sheets did not have enough elasticity to stay on the mattress. Some of the sheets were yellowed and stained while one of the top sheets was clearly whiter. Balcony in our room only had one chair and the cement was crumbling under the railing. Beautiful view but railing situation felt a little unsafe.

This is a very cool place in a great location. Just avoid rooms in the high 130s/low 140s. Those rooms are directly below the breakfast room so all you hear from 6 - 9 is stomping, talking and squeaking chairs.

The weathering and aging of the balcony deck was a turn off. Also, the exterior waterfront area was not inviting. Very old structures, some overgrowth and bare areas.

A quaint little abode. The Bavarian haus was a great place to stay to enjoy fireworks and festivities for the 4th of July. They definitely need to do some remodeling, updates and replace the carpets but otherwise the room was nice and clean. Unfortunately there was no cleaning staff and we had to ration our towels. The balcony looking out onto the water was grate but the banister was a little rickety. The front office staff was friendly and helpful. We were able to purchase ferry tickets to Mackinac island from them directly and have a shuttle service pick us up for the ferry which was very convenient!
