“Great location!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 17, 2012 via mobile

Stayed here for one night after such good reviews (2 kids, 2 adults). Was within walking distance to take ferry to Mackinac Island, downtown Mackinaw and tourist attractions. There was an outdoor pool that we weren't able to use because of a time crunch. Rooms were nice and clean and breakfast room was really small. Breakfast was the basics like cereal, bagels, pasteries, oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, juice, coffee, etc. Would definately stay here next trip to Mackinaw City!

“Best location, bed not comfortable, hair in tub”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 3, 2012

The good: This is a wonderful location. The clean park and waterfront are steps across the quiet street. The Mac is at the left and the Island the right. The grounds are immaculate and pleasant to relax, whether to use their free wifi, to gaze across the water, or read. The place has a feel of a B&B, unique and friendly. Room service continental breakfast a nice touch, though unremarkable fare. Allowed to check in early, gather key upon our evening return, selling us discounted ferry tickets and calling us a ride in a snap-very helpful.
The bad: The queen bed was just 4 to 6 inches of foam over a standard boxspring. I thought there was a rock at the center of my back, and my husband left with sore hips and buttock after two nights. I was unable to use shower/tub 1st day when I found body hair all over the tub. Yuck. Washed tub with shampoo and got up nerve to use shower the next day. We will not be back. Too bad, cute place. Had booked based on Tripadvisor recommendation.

Room Tip: Ask what kind of mattress is in room---if they say foam, ask for another. Inspect bathroom prior to...

“Sweetest Inn in Mackinaw City”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 30, 2012

My family has been coming to the Mackinaw area for 30 + years. I have stayed all over the city (and also in friends cottages) but, this motel is one of the best kept secrets in the area. Clean and friendly it is a perfect refuge for those looking to experience the "old way" of staying in a motel.
The rooms are smaller, but clean and comfortable. The motel is immaculate and the owners take great pride in caring for the building and grounds.
If you are looking for the true "Mom and Pop" motel this is the place. If you need fancy schmancy then you should keep looking. Thanks Bill and Bonnie! We will be back again next year! :)

Room Tip: Ask for room 108 or above...you can see the bridge from there. Corner room is quiet and a bit away f...

“Cute and Clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 28, 2012

I absolutely loved staying here! The decor in the room was country vintage, and simply adorable. The beds were comfortable and the outdoor pool was very warm and relaxing. Not to mention, this inn is right by the water and is very close to the downtown area, yet far enough away to not get the noise. The room was very clean and the front desk service was wonderful. They had a list of events that were happening around town, so my mother and I decided to go on one of those free excursions. Simply wonderful, and very relaxing. I recommend this to anyone!!

“Great Place Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 11, 2012 via mobile

We would stay again for sure. Outdoor pool was really nice. Rooms are a little small but clean. We had 2 adults and 2 young children. Walking distance to town. Staff was very nice, locally owned. Priced right. Would recommend.
