This hotel has a charming atmosphere, right across the street from Lake Michigan with beautiful views. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hospitality was outstanding, making our stay truly enjoyable. However, the hotel is quite old, and some spaces felt a bit cramped. The breakfast options were sufficient but not extravagant, which could be improved for a more satisfying start to the day.

I had a pleasant stay at this boutique hotel with lovely views of Lake Huron and the Mackinac Bridge. The room was quaint and clean, although I faced issues with the internet connectivity that made it difficult to plan my next adventure. The staff were accommodating, but I was disappointed that I had to address the Wi-Fi problem after I was already settled in for the night. Overall, it's a charming place with a nice atmosphere and decent amenities.

I had a wonderful experience at this charming little hotel that felt unique and cozy. The staff was professional and welcoming, and I loved the complimentary cheese and wine upon arrival. Although the rooms showed signs of age, they were clean and well-kept. The breakfast offered a nice variety, but I was hoping for a bit more selection. Overall, it provided good value for the price, making it a delightful spot for my stay in Mackinaw.
