Older property that needs some room updates. Clean and comfortable but seems to rely on the tourist location.

The property needs renovation - especially the bathrooms. But the staff was very pleasant. All of the restaurants were closed at 9 pm - no food available. But it was reasonably clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfy!

It was clean, but dated room. Fixtures and furniture showed wear and tire. When my husband went to ask a question, the desk clerk was asleep and she didn't wake up. I thought the place was quiet. It was adequate for what we needed it for, but I would only stay one night.

Location was good. Curtains did not keep light out. Bed needed a better mattress. Rust in bathroom areas. Sink fixture hard to turn on and off - needs to be replaced. Very small, thin towels.

Very clean and and all basic amenities (fridge, microwave and Keurig). Very close to ferries to Mackinac Island and they allowed us to remain parked in the lot. Only downside was the water only was tepid even after being run for a long time.

Not impressed

A very old property that could use a renovation. The bed was hard as a rock and the bathroom fixtures had trouble functioning. Clean enough and very basic, but I don’t think that I would stay again.
