This hotel was so close to ferry and local shops. I would book this property again!
Perfect location that is next to shopping, restaurants, and the ferry to the island. Clean bed, towels, and fridge. We would book again.

The young man who cleaned the rooms was incredibly helpful and saved me, twice. The room was recently remodeled so don’t be put off by the outside. A couple minor inconveniences…tough to plug things in and I think our remote needed new batteries. Other than that, I would stay there again.

Bathrooms need attention, carpet as well over all location is nice
Rooms are very nice and clean, you get a code to get into the room, no front office to check in, the parking lot is spacious but dark at night no lights, other than the parking lot being dark at night I felt very safe around the area and very convenient, everything is walking distance, loved it
The location was great. The cleaning guy was great and very friendly. The motel has nice knotty pine walls which makes it feel cozy. Now for the worst part there was flip flops in the room from past tenants and the floor was caving in in several areas, myself having bad knees if you forget where all the soft spots are it can twist your knees, so that was painful.
I gave it a mostly good rating as the room was newly updated, clean and the bed was very comfortable. There are some things they can do to make it look a little nicer but it was perfect for what we needed. The worst part was the communication. We never got the email to give us our room number, code or wifi password. We had to call and even then they said the info needed to check in would come from where I booked it (hotels.com) which was odd as the chat I got from the hotel said it would come from them. They also said parking was included, well the lot was full so I had to park on the street in the "3 hour parking zone". Luckily we didn't get a ticket. I messaged them asking about parking and they just didn't reply. Wish they would have communicated better.
For an older motel, I thought our room was very nice. It looked exactly like the photo & was very clean. I loved that I could park my car in the lot & easily walk to the bakery, downtown & the ferry all within one small city block. Everything to get registered & the code to the locked door is online if you have Expedia. Yes, they have hot water, just had to let the water get from the other side of the building over to our room. The owner was very gracious. Would I stay here again? Absolutely! As an older woman with 2 young grand daughters with me, I found it very safe & convenient. Thank you!!
Very nice and comfy little place with basic creature comforts, you check in with a code the property manager sends via email, no front office or desk to check in, I loved the place, centrally located in Mackinac city, walking distance to everything, the parking lot is dark at night but the place is safe, left the motorcycles in the parking lot with on issues what so ever, if you are looking for basic accommodations for a really reasonable price, this is the place
Nice motel for the price, friendly staff, and great location.

good location
took everything I had to get the door open because the
carpet was too high, shower was spraying everywhere, had to adjust it to get it not to spray everywhere, the location is good, just needs some TLC.

GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.....
PLUG ON WALL DID NOT WORK, SO WE DID NOT HAVE TV OR INTERNET FOR OUR STAY. ENDED UP LEAVING EARLY.
I did not like that the sign did not match the name of the hotel. I did not like that there was no one on site at the motel the entire time we were there. The parking lot and outside of the motel needs maintenance and the bathrooms need to be updated.
Needs more light in room
Better mattress
Spare toilet paper roll

I selected a bedroom with two beds as described on the picture. They only put me in bedroom that only had one bed. They had to transfer me to a different hotel that had a bedroom with two beds. Kinda like a tourist trap.
It’s troubling that Hotels.com even lists this place as an option. If it was a low-price hostel, it might be passable. The amount of misrepresentation, however, is startling. The rest of the reviews pretty much cover the details.
It’s troubling that hdc would endorse this establishment. The reasons behind the review have pretty much been covered by the other reviews left by anyone with a low rating. Not worth the price. Maybe if it was a hostel.
The passcode didn't work; our message to host received no reply. Next door neighbor couldn't get our passcode to work either. She was also waiting for host reply since there was a strong smell of gas in the small house they paid for. The whole place is not cared for. We had to book a different hotel, and there's no communicating with them now.

Loved the location and the paneled walls. Wasn't crazy about missing blinds and shower heads meant for those 5'6" and shorter.
I travel for work and I’ve never in 14 years, been given a room that wasn’t cleaned. There was used towels still on the bathroom floor, trash cans not emptied, wads of hair in shower drain. Looked like they came in and changed the sheets and left. It’s an older motel in a great location to the ferry and someone is obviously trying to update it. It’s unmanned, they just give you a code for the door which I actually like but there is no excuse for not giving your guests a clean room.

Hotel front desk said I don't have a reservation, email said otherwise but I didn't want to try going to a place and be turned away
We were booked for a total of three nights but only stayed one night. The carpeting looked dirty and the room smelled musty. There were spiders in the bathroom and rusty water when we turned on the shower.
The only thing good I can say is the bed looked clean so we stayed for only the one night.
