Island House Hotel

8/10 Good

"View was beautiful from our room and from the porch or lawn. Room could have had a comfortable chair with arms to sit in for the price we paid. Only place to sit was a straight chair or on the bed. There should be a towel ring by the sink to hang a hand towel on. The restaurant was very nice and we enjoyed the service there as well as the piano music and food at dinner. You're obviously paying for the location because the room was small and nothing special."

Harbour View Inn

8/10 Good

"Very well maintained and clean room! Our room was spacious for a family of 4. Love the decor and color pallette! Staff were all helpful. Luggage pick up and drop off from the ferry dock was a treat! Towels were nice and soft! Few things we expected to be better is breakfast, we were hoping the eggs were warm and fluffier pillows. We would recommend and go back! We enjoyed our stay!"

Inn on Mackinac

8/10 Good

"We recently stayed at The Inn on Mackinac and overall had a pleasant experience. The property itself is beautiful and has a unique charm that really fits the character of Mackinac Island. One of the biggest advantages is the location—it’s close enough to downtown and Main Street to easily walk to shops, restaurants, and attractions while still feeling a bit removed from the busiest areas. Some of our favorite features were the lovely second-floor front porch, which was a great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere, and the excellent luggage porter service, which made arrival and departure much easier. Housekeeping also did a great job and cleaned our room daily, which we appreciated. There were a few drawbacks. The inn could be quite noisy at times, and we found both the bed and pillows to be uncomfortable, which affected the quality of our sleep. We also would have appreciated having access to a water station or water machine, but if one existed, we were never made aware of it. Additionally, having a small mini fridge and microwave in the room would have made our stay more convenient, especially for storing drinks, snacks, or leftovers. Overall, The Inn on Mackinac offers a charming island experience with a great location and friendly service. While there are a few areas that could be improved, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the inn’s historic character."

6/10 Okay

"This was the second time staying at this hotel. I'm a bit disappointed. I was on the 3rd floor at the end. No hair dryer, no microwave. Went out for Dinner, brought back left overs didn't realize there wasn't a microwave. Every time the toilet was flushed a whistling noise occurred. Lasted for a few seconds then stopped. At night heard a knock/banging sound from a pipe, thinking maybe it was a shower above us, this lasted a few minutes then stopped. Beach was dirty. Firework show (Saturday Night 10pm) was great, had a great view from balcony. Toilet paper was horrible. The shampoo I don't know what was in it. Some got into my eyes, which burned. So becareful if you have little ones. Since we were at the end of the hall by the utility closet, in the mornings in front of our door were the blue laundry bins some full some empty. Very tight corner. The staff did apologize and did move them quickly so we can get to the elevator or the stairs. Mosquitoes were all over the balcony all over the screen, sitting out on the balcony wasn't a good idea, thankful the fireworks, only lasted 10 minutes. The hotel is in a perfect location. Very first hotel, so walking to the ferry or going into town was a quick walk. Would I stay there again.. maybe!"
