Although I have stayed in fancier places for the price, it was 4th of July weekend..so that is expected. The room was nicely decorated to fit the historic theme. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The hotel is located on the main drag with most of the shops, taverns, restraunts and ferry docks nearby. Golf courses also in... more

Just got back from our great trip to Mackinac. The Murray was a fine place to stay right on main street. (And right across from Arnold's Ferry.,.. take them!!!) Positives: Location - Can't beat it. Unless you're looking for something a bit more peaceful... you can definetely hear noise from the street until 12 or 1am. And then the horses... more

We booked a one-night stay at the Murray Hotel after spending two days kayaking around the Les Cheneux islands about a half hour away.

After booking a room and then reading some of the negative reviews here, I was worried, but then pleasantly surprised. Yes, the rooms are small. But once we adjusted to the size, it was fine. Everything was clean, the bed was comfortable, the maid service was dependable, and the place had a lot of appealing character. It also had A/C,... more

The heated spa pool with waterfall feature was a big hit on a sunny but cool Michigan weekend. The hotel is in the heart of action on main street Mackinaw Island but our room, historic queen, was quiet and comfortable. A good price deal during Lilac festival too. more

We have stayed at the Murray many times and have had great experiences. The location is perfect and right in front of the Arnold Ferry dock. The staff met us at the dock and took our suitcases right to our room. They nightly put chocolate chip cookies in our room! The breakfast is included in the fee for the room... more

Every time we visit the Island, we stay at the Murray and have never been disappointed. Our daughter was married on the Island in 2007 and we reserved a block of rooms for the wedding party and guests. Everyone was very happy with the service that they received. The rooms are very tiny but there is so much to do... more

Terrific place with great staff. Highly recommended more

My husband and I stayed at the Murray May 17th. The front desk staff was very nice and friendly. We have stayed on Mackinac Island for many years and ALWAYS have our luggage brought to our room. We had to go down to get our luggage and take it to our room. Since we were going to be staying on... more
