Clean and updated. We have stayed here many times over the years! Staff was wonderful. Evening fire was lovely. Hydrangeas were stunning! Rm 105, King suite w/balcony & full kitchen was spacious & clean. A few spots in kitchen needed paint, a couple couch stains, shower faucet needed some work, and A/C units needed filters, but those are minor and did not affect our stay. Wonderful place, and great location for all the Mackinaw fun!!

Stayed 2 nights. First room had an odor in sink/bathroom area & musty smell after running the blower. We addressed with management & moved to another room. It had no issues like first room but the bathroom fan wasn’t working & the door was in need of repair - difficult to close.

Sorry but for $185 a huge disappointment. Entry and hallways moldy smelling. I don’t mind a small room but dead flies and spiderwebs all over the windows? This place seems neglected and in need of upgrades.

The property was clean but the room we were in was very small and over the breakfast area so smelled like food. not in a good way. The pool and hot tub are in a separate building you have to walk to it and did not have a changing room or shower. Not convenient but the hot tub was hot and the pool was clean.

I am disappointed in this motel. The television didn’t work, the light fixture in the bathroom was exposing wiring, it was musty/mildewy, there were no cribs as advertised and the coffee was not good. I spent almost two hundred dollars on this and did not receive what I initially thought I was receiving amenity wise. The staff was great, however I was misinformed by the false advertising of this property and what it offers along with the cleanliness/“renovation”.

Liked the bathroom 4 steps from the side of my bed. Too much light came in window so I couldn’t sleep, but an office gal made it better, didn’t like that bfast wasnt until right at 7:00 am, no one came in office till 8 am, shower went from hot to cold while in it. 3 towels for 2 people for two days. Two diff workers helped us out. The flowers were exquisite!! S’mores was a nice touch!

We needed a pit stop in Mackinaw City and chose Clearwater. Its location is perfect. The view of the Bridge and Lake Huron is spectacular.

This place was such a nice, clean and relaxing hotel to stay at. The room was clean, smelled good, and had a beautiful view of the bridge. We enjoyed spending time on the small beach to end our day with a bonfire. They offer free smores packs to enjoy by the fire as well. We had such a great stay and will be staying here for future visits and we will definitely be telling our friends and family to stay here too.
