Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located within 5 minutes of walking distance to everything near Huron or Main, offering a great spot without being in the busy part of downtown. The rooms are fantastic, very comfortable, and well-accommodated, providing a great night's sleep. However, the service had some hiccups with a need for a refund and an uncomfortable incident with a group member. The dining experience was top-notch with delicious food and impeccable cleanliness. The location is great, but improvements could be made for a more organized and updated feel.
I headed to Mackinaw for a short but sweet vacation with 5 adults. The hotel offered quiet and clean rooms, but the high temperature made the workout uncomfortable. The staff were welcoming and competent, though they could have been more helpful during check-in. The location was very convenient to the highway and close to restaurants. The dining experience exceeded expectations, especially the American-inspired dishes. Overall, a pleasant stay with minor inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel in Mackinaw for a short but sweet vacation with 5 adults was very nice. The room was equipped with a queen bed, a balcony, and new furnishings, although there was some confusion about the bed size as per email evidence. The staff was friendly and accommodating, especially with our late check-in. The location is near the Mackinaw Bridge and close to restaurants, but the extreme heat was a drawback for the workout room. The dining experience offered lots of choices though the breakfast was basic. The facilities were well-maintained, with some areas needing better cleanliness.
