“Great place for a family reunion”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

The Holiday Inn Express was the base for a small reunion of 12 family members in September 2012, The five rooms used were clean and well-furnished with coffee makers, refrigerators, and microwaves. The bed and other furniture were clean and in good condition. For both of our two family parties and evening meals, the hotel provided the use of a small conference room and we had food that was delivered by a nearby restaurant. This was very convenient and safe for everyone.

“Old, Tired, Stinks”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 25, 2012

After a long day of travel, we arrived late in the afternoon to the hotel only to be informed upon check-in that Platinum Priority club members only receive a bottle of water as an amenity, no upgrade, as other Holiday Inn hotels do. We booked two rooms and each were on a different floor, neither on the top floor which is supposed to be the best. One room had pillow top mattresses on the beds, but the other room had mattresses that were thin, uncomfortable, and well worn. Both rooms and the entire hotel as a whole smells mildewish, the carpets are old and worn and quite frankly nasty. The rooms did have a nice flat screen tv, but that was about the only good aspect. Bottom line is choose somewhere else to stay.

“A nice place to stay on the quiter side of town.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2012

My family stayed here the weekend of September 21. We had a 2 room mini-suite for the four of us. The suite was nice and clean with plenty of room. There was a flat screen TV in each room as well as a sink, microwave and refrigerator. The main room featured a gas fireplace which we all enjoyed on a crisp Fall weekend. Our fourth floor room had a nice sized balcony that overlooked I-75. The room was quiet despite the proximity to the expressway. We were within walking distance to the tourist area of Mackinaw City but on the West side of I-75 in an area that didn't have the tourist hustle and bustle. The free breakfast was your standard continental breakfast. The pool area was unexceptional and perhaps could of used some better lighting but we enjoyed it all the same. Overall we had a nice experience here and would definately consider staying there again.

Room Tip: A room with a view of the bridge might be worth the extra cost.

“A nice option to consider”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 19, 2012

I have stayed at this Holiday Inn Express just south of the Mackinaw Bridge in Mackinaw City a number of times. It offers a reliable clean and comfortable stay. I enjoy the decent gym and the hearty breakfast. The Mackinaw City area can be very expensive during summer weekends and there are nearby hotels that become very pricey for a poor experience so be careful and try to avoid peak times........this hotel delivers a reliable product.....

“Needs to”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 18, 2012

We stayed on the third floor as there were no rooms available on the fourth floor which is considered their best. Our room was large and had two balconies which needed to be cleaned(corner unit) with a "view" of the bridge. The staff was friendly for the most part - just seemed like they weren't "all there". the hall carpets need to be stretched or replaced. Breakfast was okay. The location of the hotel is not great compared to so many others we walked past. It overlooks the road to the bridge/parking lots, etc. The best part is that Mackinack City is a neat little town with it's own history (vs. Mackinack Island). Walking into town and the water is close and convenient.
