Wonderful place!
Very comfortable. I requested a king room and they gave me a suite. When the icemaçhine was full they even brought ice to our room. Nice people, nice 2 bedroom room and nice view of the bridge at night.

Comfortable stay to visit Macinoc and Dark Sky Par
Friendly front desk, comfortable beds, good layout, balcony. We had a very comfy stay.
You can see that some minor maintenance would be welcome but nothing that could effect our stay.

Overnight Stay
Had an overnight stay with my family before we went to the UP. Location of the hotel is convenient for a trip to Mackinac Island or Mackinac City. However, it’s an outdated property and it seems not a lot of effort goes into keeping the appearance up. Tables and chairs meant for the conference room line the hallways. Rusty grates and faucets in the rooms. Paint peeling off the walls. The complementary breakfast was very poor. The staff were pleasant and helpful but this wouldn’t be my first choice if we stayed in the area again.

Don't waste your money.
Nice view. We booked 4 days but left early due to noise. They were doing some type of construction. Room was also next to elevator..very noisy. Female front desk really didnt care that we left a day early. We lost the money we had already paid...just couldn't handle another day there.
