Top Headlands International Dark Sky Park Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Inn

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is in a good location but the overall property is run down and needs fixing up. The rooms were ok but the window was all glazed over and when I opened it the track and screen were very dirty. I will not return since there are many better options in the area."

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

4/10 Poor

"Breakfast closes too early at 9:00. Hotel signage is poor. Staff officious and unhelpful. We were denied a request for a one-hour late checkout, even though it was clear they could have easily granted it. The maids had more than enough rooms to clean and keep them busy. We were denied a ground floor room. Our room smelled mildewy and chemically. We were given a room overlooking the parking lot. Why not lake-side? Coffee machine in lobby didn’t work - no apology or explanation from front desk. Basically, every request was turned down. Staff was superficially friendly but actually did nothing to improve our brief stay. There’s more, but you get the idea."

Days Inn by Wyndham Mackinaw City/Bridgeview Area

6/10 Okay

"Paid for a bridge view room on the third floor. We could see it but it was far from picture worthy. The upstairs hallway is narrow, if you walk past other people with luggage it becomes a problem. The room was nice and well stocked, clean. The beds however killed me and my back. One night on the bed and I felt like I had been hit by a car. The pillows provided were also rock hard, and unyielding. I won't be back again."

Riviera Motel

10/10 Excellent

"I had an extremely pleasant stay in this motel. The location was wonderful, there was a beautiful view of the bridge and it was in walking distance to most of the Mackinaw City attractions. The room was extremely clean. The check in staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There was an outdoor pool, it looked very clean, but it was too cold to use it while I was there. Don't expect luxury, but it's a clean, continent place to stay for a family vacation."

Clearwater Lakeshore Motel

8/10 Good

"Everything was nice, until the family above us let their kids run around all hours of the night, stomping around… very peaceful property. Amazing views. The complementary breakfast was ok. Loved the evening fire pits on the beach. So cozy! Cute little cottage type buildings. Perfect for a romantic getaway!"
