    Beautiful city! There is so much to do if you have the time.

    Beautiful city! There is so much to do if you have the time. Walking around in the fall weather was enjoyable. Mackinac Brewhouse wine tasting was enjoyable because Stephanie was so nice. The lighthouse and walking path are a must see. The city is very clean. I could have stayed longer than my 4 days and found plenty to do or just relax and enjoy.

    Awesome visit this year, during our 2022 visit most of the seasonal staff all over the city were rude and had bad attitudes , this year was opposite where staff members all over the city were outstanding , I already miss Nonnas pizza and my new favorite ice cream place The Sweet Spot on the main drag , the burgers we had at the White Buffalo were delicious, I had the bison burger and my wife had beef burger ,both were delicious but the bison one is better

    I highly recommend the Labor Day Bridge Walk and Headlands...

    I highly recommend the Labor Day Bridge Walk and Headlands International Dark Sky Park. A day trip to Mackinac Island or Sault Ste Marie is fun if you've never been, but maybe I've just stayed in Mackinaw City too many times, I couldn't find much I wanted to do. Tried to go to Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the UP, but road construction delays were such that I turned around and went back. Some of my favorite shops have closed, restaurant options and quality were less than my previous visits. The weather didn't help, it was the hottest, most humid Labor Day weekend anyone could remember, and then there were thunderstorms, wind, and rain the last 2 days of my visit.

    I always enjoy a trip to the Straits!

    I always enjoy a trip to the Straits! There are plenty of activities to do in Mackinaw City; we typically take a trip to Mackinaw Island. The only bad thing is that prices seem to be higher in Mackinaw City than in St. Ignace.

    We loved the price considering it has a private beach area with chairs, tables and firepits plus an indoor water park! At the time of our visit the slides were not operating but we still had tons of fun in the lazy river, pool, hot tub and indoor pirate splash area (big enough for adults). Room was clean. Staff were always available and were friendly. They weren't sitting in the back room on their phones like other hotels we've been too.

    Affordable lakefront location in Mackinaw City. It’s basic accommodation and reminds me of the motels we’d stay in the 90s when I was a kid. Nothing fancy, but has character. Balconies and beach are nice. Owner is a young women working hard to manage and take over the property. Very warm and welcoming.

    Everything. I was surprised at the quality as compared to other hotels in the area since this was not my first time in Mackinaw City. Close to everything within walking distance and right on the beach. This is a family run motel and they have made it their pride and joy and it shows.

    The front staff receptionist was very professional, the rooms looked half finished, molding missing and carpentry shady at best. The view was nice and the pet friendly policy was great, it's hard to find pet friendly hotels in Mackinaw City.

    The room exceeded my expectations as there was FAR more sleeping room than we expected. Further, our 1st floor room opened up to a patio on the beach which was a fantastic surprise that made the stay 1,000 times better than expected!
