The scenery around the Grand Hotel was breathtaking. There are flowers in bloom everywhere! There seemed to be activities going on all the time. The staff was really good, they always had a smile and were eagerly ready to please. I thoroughly enjoyed Rudy when he carried that tray of food on his head, it was great! The room was... more

Went for 24th wedding anniversary because wife is "Somerwhere in Time" movie fanatic. I had doubts after reading prior reviews about rooms and service, but I was pleasantly surprised to get a room with an incredible view lakeside and the service everywhere was friendly and first-class. I could not have been more content than when I was sitting in my... more

I would recommend staying more than one night here. There is so much to take in and see just at the hotel itself, that I would say spend a day at the hotel, then another taking in the sights of Mackinac Island. Just a reminder, you will have to dress appropriately as they like to keep the 'riff raff' out.... more

My first visit to the Grand was in 1987, I have stayed just about every year since. My kids are 10 and 14 now. Yes, it is expensive, however your dinner, breakfast and all tips are included. It is very convenient to have the meals taken care of. There are many options for lunch, including a grill down by the... more

The hotel staff was wonderful. My elderly mother was part of our group and she was treated with the utmost care and respect. It was a dream come true to have all four generations there and be able to spend time together and get our pictures taken together. It was a trip I will never forget. Especially being able to... more

The hotel is amazing. You can see it from the boat as you approach the island. Each room has its own great style. The food was amazing! Everyday there is something new, literally, as the menu changes each day with a variety of food to choose from (three day rotation). The garden is beautiful and the pool is great. The... more

I spent two nights in the Grand Hotel with friends last month, and I was blown away by how lovely the building is and cordial the staff are. There is a feeling of fun and elegance when you're inside the hotel. I enjoyed the evenings listening to live jazz in a candle-lit, dimmed room. It was the first time I... more

For years I have been going to the Grand Hotel and always have a wonderful stay. On this trip I had a beautiful room facing the water. It was nice that we had connecting rooms so that our group could all be together so easily. There were new televisions with DVD players in both of our rooms that were a... more

We had a great time at the Grand Hotel. I think we may have been very lucky but when we were looking online the cheapest room we could find was over $600 per night. When we called we were able to get a room for $260 but that included only breakfast. When we were checking in we were very surprised... more
