We were initially concerned after reading several negative Google reviews and had certain expectations about the service. However, we were pleasantly surprised by our experience. The rooms were neat, clean, and well-equipped with amenities, and the overall service was good. Great job by the team.

Darald

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had to go to the property next door to sign in and get our key. The place is old and dingy. Lots of opportunities here. Only a handful of rooms were being used but it was quite noisy. Someone was pushing or pulling the laundry cart down the side walk at 10:30 or 11. Very loud- woke me up. Won’t be staying here again. We will avoid Mackinaw City from now on.
