The pool and water splash was under construction. Made my kids very disappointed. The room didn't have much outlet for charging phone.

We loved that we were on the shores of Lake Huron. The view was lovely and we were able to catch a sunrise that was beautiful. The hotel seems to be under new ownership and rooms are being renovated. When we arrived we were told that the pool/water park had been damaged in a recent ice storm. We were glad we didn't have any children with us that would have been disappointed. Also, the ice machines weren't working but we were told we could use the ice machines next door (at a different hotel). We stayed two nights but there was no housekeeping services. A little TLC would have removed some of the sand that was on the plank floors.
Sunrise outside our room on the shores of Lake Superior.

Excellent beach stay

Wonderful hotel no complaints. We stayed in comfort room 203 and walked out to the beach with a little patio to sit on. Quick 3 minute walk to the ferry over to Mackinac Island and relaxing stay. Would stay here again
