Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were super comfortable and clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The location was ideal, with easy access to the marina and plenty of great restaurants nearby. The dining experience left a bit to be desired, especially with the lackluster coffee, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is incredible, right across from the lake and so convenient to hop on the ferry boat to Mackinac Island. The rooms are cozy with a whirlpool, but the coffee is definitely not the best. The free city shuttle and laundry service were a huge plus, making my stay even more enjoyable.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location couldn't be better, being close to the ferry to Mackinac Island and right near the ferry docks. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the staff was extremely helpful. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with cold buffet dishes. The facilities were top-notch, making my overall experience enjoyable.
