Top Skull Cave Hotel Reviews

Best Western Harbour Pointe Lakefront

8/10 Good

"The biggest negative about this hotel was the overwhelming smell of cleaning chemicals in the hallways and rooms. It was very unusual. Thankfully we had a patio door we could open to air it out."

Baymont by Wyndham St. Ignace Lakefront

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, spacious no and comfortable but it had no table and only one chair. With two people staying in the room it wasn't as comfortable as it could have been. The pool was in another building and getting to the lobby you had to go outside to come in. Just some thing to think about if the weather is bad."
