The hotel's location is convenient, right across the street from the ferryboat and close to Mackinaw City attractions. The rooms were very outdated, with a musty smell and cleanliness issues. The service was friendly but lacked proper information. Dining options were limited, and breakfast was not satisfactory. Facilities need improvement.

Upon arrival, I was disappointed to find no towels in the musty-smelling room. The beds took up most of the tiny space, and the lack of nightstands was inconvenient. However, the service was pleasant and the location right across from the ferry to Mackinaw Island was excellent.

The hotel has either a porch or sitting area outside your room, but the room I had was in the back room, meaning four people will sleep in and only had two bath towels. The service varied from very rude and unfriendly, telling us to go to the office to get our own, to friendly and accommodating. The location was excellent, within walking distance of downtown and right across the Main Street from the Ferry over to Mackinaw Island. The dining experience was unique, as it was located at a different hotel across the street, which seemed strange but turned out fine, although busy even on a Thursday morning.

The hotel is conveniently located right across from the ferry docks, making it easy for excursions to Mackinaw Island and shopping. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, although service could have been friendlier. The dining experience was subpar, leading us to seek breakfast elsewhere. Despite some shortcomings, the location makes the stay worthwhile.

After switching to a more updated room, my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel is conveniently located near major tourist areas in Mackinaw City, close to the ferry lines and downtown. However, the presence of bugs near the stairs and windowsills was off-putting.

The hotel seemed a bit disappointing; the rooms were dark, dirty, and crowded with just one king-size bed and a tub/spa barely fitting four people; only two bath towels were provided, not matching the online pictures. However, the location was great, close to activities and right across from the ferryboat with discount tickets available. The service was a mixed bag; while one staff member assisted two blind guests during breakfast, another was extremely rude. The dining experience was minimal, offering powdered eggs and sausage. However, the convenient location made it ideal for a first visit to the area.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, close to Mackinaw City attractions, but it was overshadowed by the disappointing conditions. The service was a mixed bag with some staff members being kind and responsive, while others raised concerns about safety. The lack of on-site dining options was a downside, but the convenient location across from the ferryboat was a plus.

The hotel is conveniently located right across from the ferry docks, offering easy access to shopping and dining. The service was quick but lacked friendliness, and the rooms had a cabin-like feel with two double beds, though some maintenance issues were present. The dining experience was below expectations, with limited options and quality concerns. However, the location's convenience was a standout feature.

Upon arrival, our room was not ready, but the hotel quickly switched us to another room. Unfortunately, the replacement room still had old food from past customers, and some areas of the carpet felt wet like mildew. We also found no towels in the room when we arrived. Despite these issues, the hotel is reputable.

The location of the hotel was convenient, situated right across from the ferry docks and within walking distance of shopping areas. It was also just a walk away from Lake Huron. However, the absence of a proper place to store toiletries in the bathroom was a minor inconvenience.

While the hotel advertised free dining, the reality was a bit different as guests received a coupon for a restaurant down the street. The setup of dining facilities at a different hotel across the street seemed unusual, but it turned out okay. The dining area was busy even on a Thursday morning.

The hotel had an issue with soiled washcloths and shampoo bottles not having a proper place to be kept. However, despite these cleanliness concerns, the hotel offered some good facilities but lacked attention to detail in maintaining cleanliness.
