The best part of staying here is location to everything that Mackinaw has to offer. Easy walking distance to ferry, downtown, and beach. The staff was very helpful as well. The not so great things are the maintenance of the property and also the kids water park was colder then the lake.

It was a good stay just a little scary that none of the exterior doors on the hotel locked. I get that the main door is always open, but the rear doors are on the building were always open as well. It was a little sketchy, especially because there was nobody in the front office part of the hotel after 9 PM. Then the hotel room door just had the deadbolt. There was no extra security on the doors. The pool was nice, but the water was freezing. Overall, it was OK. I just feel like it needs a little extra tightening on the security for the customer’s sake

The room was clean but a little outdated, the tv is very small, some tiles were coming off in the bathroom, the water in the shower never got truly warm. The website says breakfast is included but it’s actually not and they just give you coupons for restaurants around the area. The water park was nice, the bed was comfortable enough and the price of the room was great.

The water park was a hit with kids. Only difficulty was getting to it. You need to go to the third floor and go down stairs to get to it from the hotel. We found it easier to walk around the building and enter near the cabins. Rooms were clean, beds and pillows comfortable.

Game room had a few options but everything was not working or dusty. Cobwebs every where. The water park looked like it had great features but seemed dirty and rusty. Staff was nice! Rooms seemed small along with the queen beds. Stuff was stained. It was a place to sleep though and I've been to worse.

The room was clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking, we were allowed to park our motorcycles under the entrance awning. Nice craft beer place next door, be aware that it closes at 9 pm. Pool and a kid’s indoor water park were located next door with another hotel. The two are attached at the 2nd floor by a skybridge. Good value hotel.

This property was clean, quiet and convenient. Staff was nice and room was very comfortable. Things I noticed from others negative reviews, there is plenty of hot water it just takes a while to warm up, be patient. Yes you have to walk across a bridge to get to the waterpark/pool/hot tub, but it's an enclosed walkway on the 3rd floor, no big deal, not far and the entire water park has been renovated.

Plcace was clean. Workers were very nice ans helpful. Price was good. Until we had no working refrigerator in our room and no working ice machine on our floor. Nice water park and pool but only open for 5 hours. When a child is expecting to go to a pool and water park and it is not open ALL DAY it get to be a nagging situation.

Friendly front counter employee. Water park was nice for young kids, but the water was super cold so my son did not want to play on that side. We enjoyed the pool instead. It was a maze to get over to it bc I didn't realize it was a different building then the hotel. We stayed 2 nights, it was nice to see fresh towels after the first night. I was uncomfortable that there wasn't a fitted sheet on the bed. It was 2 flat sheets, thin blanket and another sheet. I personally prefer a fitted sheet bc we toss and turn then now we are sleeping on the mattress protector which I know is most likely not cleaned between each stay. Otherwise it wasn't bad.

Bed and room was clean...but the hotel desperately needs an update. Lots of holes in the halls and near the elevators under the carpet. The pool was a hot mess....babies in diapers in the pool, thus we stayed in the hot tub area. We never saw any attendant watch anyone. And the pool location was totally ridiculous on how to get there and back to the hotel....as it's shared with another hotel. Staff was very nice. No breakfast, and thankfully area was quiet.

Have stayed here a few times, and the conditions were what I expected. Hot tub was not working the first night I stayed. That was disappointing. Hot tub and waterpark, were working the rest of my trip. Rooms are somewhat dated. Not very clean. We only stay here because of the waterpark for the kids. It’s OK for a few nights. Looked at a room at the Crown Choice next-door. Will be staying there next time.

Great location for walking right across the street to Armstrong ferry. They are dog friendly. We had a small dog and paid a $25 dog fee. Our room needed some love but was just fine for sleeping. We may have been given a dog friendly room so it may have been not as well kept as others. The lamp cord looked chewed on and some of the headboard lighting didn’t work. Would stay again for a stopover but nothing more.

Waterpark doesn’t open until 2 which is a bummer but the beach is across the way. Beds are clean and comfortable. Bathrooms lack drying lines for wet clothes. The kitchenette that is advertised for the suite is nothing more than an average hotel room kitchen… it just has more cabinets. Do plan on bringing a hot plate if you want to cook in your kitchen. Staff are helpful and accommodating.
