Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

10/10 Excellent
"I had a nice one-night stay. The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming, room was nice for an older hotel. My room was clean, and the common areas were nice as well. You could walk out a back door right to the beach. The only thing I didn’t like was the sound the elevator made… other than that, it was fantastic!"
