Room was clean and newly remodeled. However, the sliding glass door handle was broken and the heavy drapes had holes in them you could see when they were closed at night. Everyone was friendly, but no amenities. No hair dryer, no iron etc…

Upon checking in the suggestion was made to upgrade which I chose to do. I am so happy I did. Got a freshly renovated room overlooking the water. The bed was so comfortable and the view of the bridge was phenomenal. If I ever went back to Mackinaw City. I would definitely stay here again.

Dirty floors, shower, toilet. Dusty. Bent screen door off and leaning against outside wall. Front door did not close all of the way, leaving about an inch gap allowing light, cold air and mosquitoes in. Filled the gaps with hand towels and washcloths. Coffee, but no pot.

We arrived and checked in to be notified we’d gotten an upgrade which was very pleasant, but added an extra hour to be able to check into our room from it getting cleaned as we arrived. There were minor safety concerns around the property such as electrical equipment just hanging on the wall… pool area towels were absolutely covered in bugs, even for what was protected by just a towel for partial coverage. We loved that fire pits were an option right outside the room!

Needs work

The first room we were given had no water to the toilet. We were moved to another which had a broken screen door so we could not open it. The main door didn't close tightly so the room filled up with insects (fortunately not mosquitos) Broken siding was hanging in a tree outside our room. The front desk staff was very pleasant and tried to help, but this facility is undergoing remodeling and has a ways to go.

We stayed here last time in the lake side rooms. It was dated but fine. Good for the value. We returned but took a court side room. They were awful. Dead spiders on the wall, lights didn't work in the room, no heat, poor plumbing. It's 30 years past an update.

Beautiful view

View was amazing. We had a waterfront room and the view was beautiful. Our first room had a toilet that was not working and the staff was able to quickly move us to another room.

I brought my dog. No quibbles about paying $33.33 extra for my dog. However, the water ran out grey, so I used bottled water to brush my teeth. The shower was scary scuzzy and I chose not to shower. AND the property was covered in cigarette butts and empty beer bottles. It didn't feel safe walking with my dog. I had to sign and initial a form that I would clean up after my dog, etc. I want to know what fee they charged the people who didn't pick up after themselves! Anyway, the room smelled odd and the carpet was stained. I suppose the bed was comfotable enough. I packed up and left before 6am.

It was only $63 but I wouldn’t stay there again. The room was dirty. The bathroom was moldy and the pool was green. It worked for the night but I’ll definitely try somewhere else next time
