We stayed here on a Thursday night (MUCH cheaper rates than the weekend!) and booked the day of on the hotel's website for $64.00... Overall the experience was fine, the place decent and the breakfast yummy! The pool looked inviting, but we weren't able to swim (we checked out pretty early). We were able to buy discounted tickets for Shepler's... More

Stay somewhere else if you can!! Very unfriendly desk clerk. We had a reservation on our card, we got there at 8pm and our room was given away we had to stay in a queen room when we reserved a king. No I’m sorry or discount on the room it was like it or lump it because you already paid... More

The motel itself is ok, but service is lacking. Not overly friendly on check-in, our room (a family) of four, has 2 towels, 2 cups. We have to ask for more towels each day. Everyone else in the motel had to go to the front desk to ask for additional towels etc.. It was almost comedic to see everyone walking... More

The Thunderbird Inn Best Western is a very economical and comfortable choice for Mackinac Island visitors. Like previous reviewers stated, it is much cheaper to stay in Mackinaw City and take the ferry to the island each day. Be sure to look into the two-day ferry pass if you're going to the island two days in a row -- it... More

Great place to stay! Room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Great breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff at the front desk went above and beyond in finding discounted ferry tickets. Convenient location - perfect place to stay when visiting Mackinac Island. We traveled from the east coast to the west coast and found this to be one of the best values.... More

Want to save money on a Mackinac Island trip? Stay in Mackinaw City and just take the ferry to the island for the day. Want to save even more? Don't stay right on the lakefront in Mackinaw City; go half a mile up the road. We stayed at the Best Western Thunderbird, not the Best Western on the lakefront, saved... More

My huband to be and I decided to go on a mini vacation and we ended up staying at the Best Western Thunderbird in for 2 days.. The room was nice and clean, the service excellent. I have recomended this establishment to others who have asked about it. I would stay there all over again. We are planning another trip... More

We stayed for one night prior to going to the Island. the room was clean, and the breakfast was plentiful. the only complaint was that the walls are pretty thin, and we could hear our neighbors showering. we really liked Mackinaw city, as well as the Island. If we go back, we will likely stay in the city, as a... More

We have stayed there 10 or more years and the service is always friendly and more than average. Would recommend it for tourists.
