Last minute choice & decided to stay in Mac City instead of drive home. Most of my faves were booked so decided to give this venue a try. Room was quite sufficient, on the lower level, with Queen bed, & clean & simple decor. Lots of pillows & windows could be opened for fresh air. Had a nice bathroom with a tub but no frig. or microwave. Bed was firm & room was clean. After guests settled down the evening was quiet even though it is located next to expressway & at the base of the bridge. Nice pool & hot tub but didn't partake this time. Could see the bridge all lit up from my window! Would return again. Price was fair for off-season. One small hitch........room had a coffeepot but there was no coffee!!

This hotel is not worth the money we spent. The mattresses are very uncomfortable. The rooms are small and are not well lit. There is no refrigerator if you need one. The rooms are overpriced for what you get.

Comfortable stay for my family of 5 and excellent customer service. Our room was large and we enjoyed the indoor pool. It was a perfect location near the bridge to enjoy a beautiful sunset at the lake shore. My son left behind a special necklace and they were able to find it and mail it to us at home!

We paid over 200.00 for a really small room with no view and no fridge. The bed was an old cheep mattress that was extremely hard. There was only one tissue left in the tissue box. Just a horrible room. We were located way at the end of the motel with the swimming pool building right in front of us. So no view of the bridge at all. Overly priced for this place. Not worth it. We will never stay there again. No microwave, no fridge, no nothing. The pictures of this place looks nice until you get there. It also had an old bedspread on the bed.

I almost did not book at this hotel because of some of the reviews. But I am sure glad I decided to stay here anyway! It was truly a great experience for us. The hotel is the closest hotel to the Mackinaw Bridge. We were able to easily walk to the bridge, the fort, the lighthouse and even downtown was only a 10 minute walk! The convenience alone makes it worth the stay. The room was larger than most hotel rooms. It was a bit dated, perhaps from the 90's but that did not bother us one bit because it was very clean and the beds were comfortable. One thing I always hope for when booking is the option to have the fan run continuously on the heater/AC unit as it helps me to sleep. I was able to do that here and slept well. We were on the third floor and able to see the bridge from the balcony. There was an elevator which was much appreciated. The service was good and the gentleman at the front desk was very nice and helpful. He provided a map of the area, gave recommendations of places to eat and showed us various ways to get to downtown without driving. The only reason I did not give this a 5 star rating is the smell of cigarette smoke that was in our room. The rooms are non-smoking but several people were smoking on the balcony in front of their room which of course drifts into the rooms. I would suggest having a designated smoking area set up for guests to use. The smell in the room was not horrible, but I could smell it slightly. Other than that I would definitely recommend! We will stay here again.

The place is a bit dated, but it was clean and well run. The guy at the desk was super nice and gave us extra batteries when we told him ours ran out. It felt like going on trips as a kid. The location is great, safe and the architecture is really neat! Check out the dragon lamp posts!

We booked in February 2023 for June 2023. We got a message end of March that 'oops you were given the wrong price' and told us to keep our reservation the price would actually be something like $80 more than we were told. This is so unprofessional; I've worked in multiple hotels in multiple states and none of my employers would act this shady. Book at the other hotels on the same drag or go across the bridge to the Super 8 or any of the St Ignace hotels really. You'll encounter honest establishments there who won't force people to cancel and rebook at higher prices. (Set your damn prices higher in the first place, don't screw your guests over because you have seller's remorse.) We found lovely accommodation somewhere very nearby for the price we were initially told at this hotel, and we called to verify our new reservation and they assured us that they don't conduct themselves the way this Parkside Inn does. Glad to have other options!

this is by far worst hotel I've been too ever..The room was disgusting were large spiders and cobwebs everywhere..the musty smell was so horrible it burnt your throat...we were goin to try and manage as some fellow residents had same deal and drenched their room in perfume to make it through..we left and called back for them say u can't get refund since wasn't before like 72 hrs..basically after eating out doubled my vacation pay and booked another hotel room for next couple days!! when went back lady was just spiteful hag said checked room and was nothing wrong and didn't see spiderweb and blah blah and acted like would have put in another room! talking with people arrived same as us wouldn't dream of it! total ruin of vacation vibe and for the price of room your better stay in any best western or anything else. trust me this place needs gutted and completely redone or just tore down..don't waste your money or unless u don't mind probably getting sick from sleeping there or sleeping with the bugs

I can's say this was a value decision. In fact, we pretty much stayed here because most other choices were sold out. We stayed on two disconnected nights in the same room. One night it was a great price about $140 and the next night was more prime time and the room was double that. The staff were great, very friendly. The room we stayed in was small but sufficient. We did not have much of a view. I expected the room to be noisy but it really wasn't a problem.

The price was absolutely ridiculous, and we where charged way more then what we where told it would be. I suggest going somewhere else. Later found out it would have been cheaper to stay on mackinac island!
