We ejoyed sitting on the porch outside the sliding glass door. Watching the water, the nridge and the boats transporting passengers to Mackinac Island. Three steps from the porch was a firepit and three steps from thay was the sandy beach. Very relaxing.

Property has a small beach, fire pit and seats to see the bridge all day and the ferries leaving port for the island. The room was decent sized with older beds and quiet.

Older property renovations in progress. Gentleman at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. Put us in a nicer part of the hotel that was already renovated. Pool could use a little bit of TLC. Didn't try it ,was quite dirty but did see them clean it the next day but didn't get a chance to enjoy it. Great place to stay right on the water. Worth the 69 bucks night

Great location and great price beds were comfortable staff was really amazing polite and courteous and knowledgeable of the area and recommending things to see and do. My only complaint is hot tub didn't work and pool was very cold but the lake views and beach was well worth it. I will definitely return and highly recommend

The staff were very nice and helpful. We had a beautiful view of the bridge and fireworks. The hotel was very outdated, it had 2 beds, so it all was good. We just needed a place to crash for the night!
