I reserved a room for this weekend at the Riviera. The website showed that a room was available. I received 2 confirmations via E-mail. The next day - late in the day, I received a phone call saying they didn't have a room available, that they confirmed it by accident. I think they gave my room to someone else.

We paid $115 for a room that, if you craned your neck, you could see the Mackinaw Bridge from one window, but there was a good view of trees on the other side of the room. The really good views will cost you $165! The motel is night next to the lake and there is a wonderful view from the... More

We stayed at the Riviera for 2 nights in a bridgeview room, and had a great time. Although the motel is old and rather dated, it's clean and comfortable (except for the bathrooms, which are in desperate need of updating...but we put up with them for the view). The location just can't be beat: when we opened our door each... More

We stayed in this motel for one night. It is expensive ($100) but the location makes it worth it. It is next to the Mackinaw City Lighthouse. The Alexander Henry Park is on the other side. You are on the beach with the Mackinac Bridge right in front of you. Wonderful in the evening or night (also day!). They give... More

I thoroughly enjoyed our first stay at this motel last September during the Truck & Light Show; nice owners, clean rooms, very basic. Definitely needs some remodeling & updating inside. Beds comfortable. I am surprised they don't have a frig in the rooms. You can't beat the view and location. Bridge, beach, park, lighthouse all right at your fingertips. Very... More
