We have stayed here in 2009, 2010, 2011, and will be staying again in 2013. We love that it is out of the way and private. The staff is always helpful and cheerful. The rooms are always clean, and have everything that we need. It is a must stay for us every year we visit Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island.... More

The motel is reasonably convenient with a distant view of the bridge for an additional $5. Room is very good. Breakfast included juice, coffee & tea, bagels with cream cheese and peanut butter/jelly, cereals. Yoghurt and instant oatmeal would be a nice addition. I would stay here again.

The location is a bit out of town but ok. The room was decent size with coffee pot, small refrigerator, and microwave, however,... More

My husband and I along with 2 other couples (family) stayed here in August. We came mid week and got a very good price. We would go there again. The rooms were very nice and spotless, and we even had a view of the Mackinac Bridge. There are even fire pits and wood if you want to build a fire... More

We stayed in a bottom floor room in Bldg 3 for $159.00/night. I really liked the lay-out of the room. The boys, 10 & 5, slept in the front room, which had a TV just for them. My wife and I had a queen size bed in the other room which was springy but comfortable. The bathroom (a toilet &... More

We had a large room with 3 beds in it - 2 queens and a twin. Great for families. Nice balcony with beach and Mackinac Bridge view. Firepits on the beach with lounge chairs. Indoor pool and hot tub. Quiet. Away from the big chain hotels. Easy drive to the ferries and downtown. About 2 minutes. Decor and mattresses need... More

The motel is very clean and located in a quiet area around the bend from the main hotel strip. Overall, the experience was a good one. I would stay there again if they were to replace their mattresses. One thing that is a must when vacationing is getting a good night's sleep, and the mattresses were so old and springy... More

My wife and I stayed here after two nights on the island and it was a very nice relaxing change. The management was very helpful and polite. She even upgraded us to a King room at no charge. All rooms have a balcony and view of the bridge. The rooms are a little dated, but that isn't to say that... More

Nice, reasonable hotel with large rooms. All have balconies with a beautiful view of Mackinaw City. Was very clean, but mattresses are in need of replacement. Mgmt. did say they are in the process of replacing. For the price - and with new matresses - I would definitely stay again. Quiet location away from busy side of area.
