Pros: It was super easy to get to, right off the highway. It's super close to everything.
Cons: We had wished that the hotel staff would have let us know that there was a very large senior tour during our stay. Only because the morning ended up being so crammed full of people trying to get breakfast and people waiting for the bus to load all of their luggage. We could have rearrangedone our schedule to try and avoid the mess.

Pros: Impressed by the size of the room for the price we paid. We were not in the room much - only to sleep. We had a lakeview room that had an awesome sunrise the following morning. The room was clean and the heat worked great. We were freezing from being @ the island most of the day in 32 degree weather and when we got back to the room it was super warm and the beds were comfortable. Good selection of TV channels and a decent free breakfast the next morning. Great location to everything. Would recommend.
Excellent
8,5
Pros: The breakfast was good. The location was prime for travel to the island, equidistant to each of the docks for the two major ferry lines. The room was nice, the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area.
Cons: I don't like that the pool wasn't accessible without a trip outside. It was still cool enough outside that that was a deterrent from bringing my young kids to the pool. The layout was only ok for things like the breakfast location and pool location; they very much have the appearance that they were add-ons after the original building was completed. I also had an issue with our toilet not wanting to flush. The maintenance response was quick and efficient, but later in our stay it appeared as though the fix wasn't complete.

Pros: Room was clean and in good repair. Bfast buffet was very nice. Front desk manager very nice and helpful. Hotel location central to most everything in Mackinaw City. We got a good deal on the internet. Overall facility looked clean and in good repair.
Cons: A good deal on the internet meant a poor view out of our room--we looked out half to part of the parking lot (which always-every day- had laundry and carts and other maintenance items and half to the opposite side of the hallway. A good deal also meant lots of foot traffic by our door at all hours. Our mattress was very worn and needed to be turned or flipped or something. When we arrived, we encountered women from Haiti working at the front desk and they were still on the learning curve w/regard to checking people in. We were not given all the info we needed. Our key cards lost their programming to unlock our door twice during our three-night stay (annoying!).

Pros: Great staff, comfortable beds, beautiful location, good value. Very clean and up to date. This is my second summer vacation here and I plan to continue to come back.

Cons: I had no stay at the Best Western! It was closed when I arrived at the INN about 6:30 PM. They were closed. A note on the door said to go to a different Inn. I did and paid a higher rate.

Pros: Easy In and Easy out. The price was about right for the facilities. Check in was fast. Breakfast was great. Beds were pillow tops and comfortable.
Cons: I have mobility problems and the elevator was a one end of the complex and our rooms were at the far end away from the elevator. There were ramps but I still had to walk too great a distance. I would not stay here again even if on the ground floor because I would have to go upstairs for breakfast with no direct elevator.

Pros: What we liked best was the way the rooms are set up. There is an open suite with a private room on each side. The rooms are lovely, nice linens, towels, pillows, and comfortable beds. We were traveling with my brothers and their wives, whom we haven't seen in a long time. It made it easy for us to spend time together. Plus, the location was central enough for us to walk to restaurants and local stores. I would happily return to this motel/hotel in the future.

Pros: I liked the area, rooms were good too, very nice front desk staff. The beach had nice chairs and was clean. Hotel was quiet too.
Cons: The outdoor concourse was not clean, the drainage pipe on the beach was definitely an eye sore, pool hours are not very good as it needs to be open much earlier than 11am.

Pros: The view from the room was the only good thing.
Cons: The staff was incredibly rude. Couldn't connect to the wifi from my room and when I brought it up with the staff, they became defensive and arrogant. They didn't bother listening to my concerns. They also weren't helpful when I asked them about ferry times to Mackinaw Island. They rudely told me that they didn't know and that I should look it up myself. The breakfast was awful, not much to offer and had stale low-quality food. They also didn't have enough food for the guests. The rooms could have been cleaner. Found stains on the sheets and towels. Not all of the lights worked. Overall, a terrible experience and won't be staying here again.

Pros: Great place! Free breakfast in the morning and they had storage inside for bicycles so we didn’t have to leave them on the car. That really worked out well. Shuttle service to the ferry and right on the beach. All for really reasonable prices.
Cons: Not really anything. The rooms aren’t luxury, but they were very clean and comfortable.
Okay

Pros: The location was convenient for taking the ferry over to the island. Nice view off balcony.
Cons: This hotel was somewhere I would expect to pay $50 a night. Outdated color schemes, dark and gloomy rooms. There was a bra inside of the fold out couch which tells me no one had changed the linens in it. The breakfast in the morning was not very appealing inside a room with no windows. The pool and spa area looked like a basement- the water was gross looking. Call me crazy, but for $250 a night, I expect a very nice hotel! I would not recommend staying here.

Pros: While not in the heart of town, it was reasonably close- especially to the Star Line docks. The room was clean, the beds comfortable. The indoor pool was well maintained. A hot breakfast was included every morning.
Cons: The room was a little small. The distance from the central part of town was a little awkward- a bit far to walk, too close to justify driving. Nothing major, however.

Cons: When we arrived we were informed that there was no room for us. My relatives still had a suite, but no room for us. They said they had tried to call us that morning, like it was our fault. We were moved down the road to another hotel which was nice, but away from family. Very disappointing.

Pros: Furniture was stylish and rustic, perfect for the location. Continental breakfast was as expected, decent selection of quick eats.
Cons: Staff had to be distracted away from magazine in order to check in (acted annoyed with our presence). Then as a second employee argued with first employee during our check-in we were completely ignored. Finally got room assignment and was placed directly next to open lobby area. Asked politely if they had a quieter room available and without looking up from the desk, we were told "we're full". We responded with "oh, you don't have any other rooms available?" And after an exaggerated sigh, told again "we're full". Very rude.

Pros: Terrific room, very attractive, clean, comfortable beds, nice air from the windows, loved the ceiling fan; professional, kind and helpful staff; low-stress mid-week stay with private time in the whirlpool (yay!); super location; kick-ass continental breakfast and staff; able to check my business on-line; thinking seriously about booking with you again! Thank you, Super 8 and staff. My mom and I had a great stay!
Cons: Only one thing: We stayed for three days, two nights; and, in that time, saw a tissue on the floor next to a door on our floor that NEVER GOT PICKED UP! Come on, people. I noticed it. How could you NOT have noticed it ??

Pros: The pool was nice and warm. Neat log cabin theme.
Cons: Our room was right between the pool and laundry facility. Both open until 10pm. Not great if you have young kids that you need to get to sleep. Faucet handle in tub was near falling off. Took about 10 minutes to get it to work right. The continental breakfast looked like they had the same food out all week.

Pros: Balcony is nice and mostly private. Room was clean. Beds were okay. The room next to us had a baby who screamed all night, but that's not the fault of the hotel, just know that if you're a light sleeper and the people next to you are loud, you will hear everything.
Cons: Breakfast is below average. The fruit looked old. Have a bagel or a waffle and go to Pancake Chef downtown. This place isn't bad, but like everything else in this area, way overpriced for what you get.

Pros: I really enjoyed the location of my room. This time I had ground floor facing the parking lot. It doesn't sound like a winner, but I really enjoyed it. I was able to park RIGHT outside my door. This made it VERY easy for loading and unloading. No long hallways or stairs to climb this time. It was awesome. Also - Pretty good free breakfast.
Cons: The room at first looks was decent. However, when you lay down you notice dust on the bed post and a floor that appears to vacuumed. There was a lot of slight dirtiness to the room. I even found the previous guest glasses and a bottle cap on the floor along with a couple spider webs and spiders. Since this is my only concern, I'd consider it a pretty good stay and I will be returning.

Pros: My kids loved the small waterpark. The age range to enjoy this water park would be 3-18. It has 2 water slides, small lazy river, decent size pool, and a toddler pool play area. Beautiful view on the beach at the back of the hotel. This hotel is conveniently less than a mile away from all the shops and restaurants. Staff was very friendly when we checked in and out.
Cons: I did not like the bed sheets as they were really loud when you moved around. There was permanent stains on the sheets as well. At some point those should have been tossed or recycled. It felt a little musty in the hotel. Maybe a good cleaning of everything would help with the musty smell.

Pros: Surly check in lady. When they say 3pm check in rhey mean not a minute sooner. Dont stay in room 129. Stained carpet, towel rack over the toilet sagging 3 inches and ready to drop the towels in the toilet. The patio screen had been pushed out and was being held in with a strip of dried out duct tape. The tape had been there a while. Internet would stay on a few minutes then shut off. On and off, over and over.
Cons: Most every thing.

Pros: Location
Cons: The hotel is more like a ran-down motel. The carpet is moist and dirty, the furniture and room needs renovation. Purchased room online and it did not meet my expectations as per online listing and photos. Not a good start to a family vacation for such a great unique town

Pros: The pool was wonderful. Large and heated nicely. It was warmer than any hotel pool I've been to. Not crowded. Needs some new paint, but overall the pool was very nice.
Cons: Smelled funky. Carpet left our daughters feet black. Paper thin walls. Loud guests, we could hear neighbors and others in the parking lot all night. breakfast was sub par only 3 hot options and they ran out of food knowing the hotel was fully booked.

Cons: The mattress was the worst I’ve ever slept on, we got hardly any sleep it was so uncomfortable. The lampshades and heating/cooling unit needed a good dusting. The rest of the room was fairly clean, just outdated. But the mattress really ruined it for us. Can’t recommend this place at all.

Cons: Everything could have been better. Awful bed and pillows, scalding hot shower in ankle deep water. Just awful.

Pros: Nothing I wish we could have went somewhere else. You need to go see how bad it was. I got pictures if you want to see them.
Cons: Everything bugs on the ceiling.. Gross. The walls were so gross the wall paper was falling off. The coffee pot had mold in the water chamber.. We saw the maids drop the towels on the ground and picked them up and used them. You need to check this out before you let someone else stay here. I talked to other people that stayed there they said there room was gross. And had to be moved but wasn't much better. Our door had to be push so hard to get it open. Please don't send anyone there .

Pros: The beds were comfortable and you had a good view of lake.
Cons: When we arrived our room was dirty. The breakfast was terrible stale biscuits. The second night there were kids up partying all night and smoking on the balcony we tried calling the front desk several times and no one answered. When we checked out I asked to speak with a manger about the situation the front desk lady informed me she was serving breakfast and couldn't talk. The price may seem great but the hospitality and cleanliness was terrible. Book at your own risk.

Cons: Room was dirty, run down and had dead bugs on the wall and on the lampshades. The beachfront was not as advertised or as the online picture showed as the beachfront was grassy, muddy and not conducive to using. Very disappointing how management would not refund full amount of stay as the conditions of the room and outside grounds is not something that you can check out and cancel before arriving onsite.

Pros: The lights that had plugs available did in fact work.
Cons: The place was not a bad place to stay, but I am under the impression the scaffolding and associated repair materials are just props. The TVs were the only up to date items in the room outside of consumables like light bulbs and shower supplies. The rate was lower than most in mackinaw and tidy. The conditions of the general infrastructure was poor. All buildings had signs of roof damage parking lot was a 50/50 mix of puddles after the rain the night before. Overall this place is solid 2 star hotel. Don't think Holiday Inn think Route 66 from the sixties mixed with some Kwik-E-Mart for some added culture to your vacation.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Our door didn't always lock. If you pushed on the door hard enough it popped open, but the front desk people said it was fine and not broken. Carpet was so filthy that your feet were black after walking across it even after your shower. Tons of mold and mildew on shower tiles. Very outdated. Probably hasn't been remodeled since the seventies. And our room wasn't serviced each day. Had to go and get clean towels each day. This was our last stay at mackinaw because we are moving to Arizona. We thought we'd have one great last vacation here before we moved, but it was barely tolerable.

Pros: It was close to the water and the pool was okay.
Cons: The rooms were not great. A few ceiling tiles were on the brink of collapse, the wall unit air conditioner looked like a lint trap from a dryer, and the comforter had stains. There was also no HBO as advertised and only dry muffins for breakfast.

Featured amenities include luggage storage, laundry facilities, and coffee/tea in a common area. Free self parking is available onsite.

Pros: This hotel is a great price for being on the beach. Beautiful view. Hotel pool was nice for the kids to take a break from the hustle & bustle of the town and island. Maintenance guy was very nice and able to resolve our issue (key broke in the lock).
Cons: We were on the 3rd floor and there was no elevator. After a full day on the island we were surprised to have to climb more stairs with all of our luggage. Breakfast was ok if you wanted waffles or toast. Being gluten free, there were no options.

Pros: Gorgeous view - unexpected since we never seem to be able to get those kinds of room on our budget! Was advised checking was after 4:00 PM, but arrived around 3:00 just to do the paperwork and were able to the key and be in our room then.
Cons: Kids (5 & 8) wished there wre some uses at the waterpark...but they still had a good time. Front desk person wasn't the most cheerful, but was not rude...just matter-of-fact.
