    Beautiful city! There is so much to do if you have the time.

    Beautiful city! There is so much to do if you have the time. Walking around in the fall weather was enjoyable. Mackinac Brewhouse wine tasting was enjoyable because Stephanie was so nice. The lighthouse and walking path are a must see. The city is very clean. I could have stayed longer than my 4 days and found plenty to do or just relax and enjoy.

    Awesome visit this year, during our 2022 visit most of the seasonal staff all over the city were rude and had bad attitudes , this year was opposite where staff members all over the city were outstanding , I already miss Nonnas pizza and my new favorite ice cream place The Sweet Spot on the main drag , the burgers we had at the White Buffalo were delicious, I had the bison burger and my wife had beef burger ,both were delicious but the bison one is better

    I highly recommend the Labor Day Bridge Walk and Headlands International Dark Sky Park. A day trip to Mackinac Island or Sault Ste Marie is fun if you've never been, but maybe I've just stayed in Mackinaw City too many times, I couldn't find much I wanted to do. Tried to go to Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the UP, but road construction delays were such that I turned around and went back. Some of my favorite shops have closed, restaurant options and quality were less than my previous visits. The weather didn't help, it was the hottest, most humid Labor Day weekend anyone could remember, and then there were thunderstorms, wind, and rain the last 2 days of my visit.

    I always enjoy a trip to the Straits!

    I always enjoy a trip to the Straits! There are plenty of activities to do in Mackinaw City; we typically take a trip to Mackinaw Island. The only bad thing is that prices seem to be higher in Mackinaw City than in St. Ignace.

    Extremely charming! We loved the unique environment at this hotel. Beautiful landscaping, relaxing areas, clean and warm outdoor pool, and delightful room. Breakfast boxes were nice, including a muffin, granola bar and yogurt. Location is the best. Short walk to the historic fort, the lighthouse, a view of the bridge, view of the lake, and just a few blocks walk to downtown Mackinaw City and the ferries to the Island.

    The location was perfect! So close to downtown Mackinaw City, the Ferry and steps away from the bridge. Right on the beach. Heated pool too. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend staying here. The motel was more than I expected. I would definitely stay here again.

    This does not have a working Water Park. Employee told us that it has been down for 3 years and they aren’t planning on fixing them. So it’s just a hotel with a pool and kiddie park- not that clean the pool kittie area, lazy river and pool all have sand on the bottom

    We enjoyed the water park, but it’s not open daily (at least right now during off season). The front desk staff were always friendly and welcoming when we interacted with them. The location is great for exploring Mackinaw City.

    The hotel was very nice and I liked how it was so close to the downtown area. I also liked how I could walk out the back door and be right on the beach. That was very nice and peaceful.
