We always, always stay at the Riviera Motel, and have for years and years. It's a little bit of an upscale mom and pop motel, located right by the bridge! Never would we want to stay anywhere else. Great accomodations!!!

Old motel but beautiful view of the bridge and the Straits of Mackinac. Hotel is small but right on the beach. Good restaurants nearby and away from downtown shopping. Near the ferry to the island. Chairs on the pool deck were comfortable.

Nice bridge view and right at the park and lighthouse. Walk to downtown and nearby restaurants. The room was clean but very cramped but for one night it was fine. Parking can be tight at times. Nothing to write home about but nothing to get concerned about either.
