Waterfront Inn - Mackinaw City

10/10 Excellent
"If you have ever wondered what staying in Mackinaw City in the early to mid 90s, look no further. This hotel will answer all these questions. The hotel itself seemed to be in need of a little sprucing up, but it was clean. The room itself was large and spacious. The staff was nice. The area was quiet, aside from a bit of noise from passing traffic. The bathroom was large and spacious, which I feel like is rare in hotel bathrooms. Lovers of the 90s will love the decor. From the carpet to the comforters, from the furniture to the colorful bathroom, it was definitely a room my grandmother would have loved and booked for us in 1993. The room itself was great, all joking aside. The bed wasn't very comfortable, but the room itself was awesome. If you need a place to stay during your vacation, this would be a decent place to stay. It is outside the main downtown area and is a charming place. It is away from all the traffic and noise of downtown, but easy access to head south to Cheboygan or other places nearby."

"We enjoy staying here as it was where my husbands mom would bring him and his brothers. However this time - end of season - we had to check in at the hotel next door, the staircase had spiders and webs all over, our room was cozy but we had spiders and webs in the window and in the bathroom. And the soap dispenser in the shower was out. We will stay here again, because we enjoy the - not right downtown area - and the trails are close by."
