Bonfires, S'Mores and More!
Rooms were clean and spacious. We went on the last weekend of the season and all services were in place. There is a nice included breakfast in an adjacent building and the hosts built multiple bonfires on the beach, with S'mores supplies.
Balcony view of the beach and bridge.

The rooms & grounds are immaculately clean & well taken care of. It was so relaxing sitting in front of the campfires on the beach & it never felt crowded because there are seven to choose from. The hotel crew started the campfires at 7pm every evening & added wood throughout the evening until 10pm. They even passed out s’more kits to every person! It was so relaxing sitting in front of the campfire & taking in the beauty of the Mackinac Bridge all lit up & we could also see Mackinac Island in the distance. We had a room with a balcony facing the lake. We didn’t use the pool but if it’s anything like the rooms & grounds I’m sure it is maintained very well. This will be the only place we stay when visiting Mackinaw City!

Last night help
The cable tv was not working in our room when we arrived at 9:00 pm. When we called the front desk they sent a staff member to resolve the issue. I was surprised they even had staff on hand to help us.

Overall it was great. We did not like the check out policy of having to sign a waiver for them to remove our bags from our room if we did not check out on time - offensive and unbelievable that they would ask that.
