Top Mackinaw City Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Crown Choice Inn & Suites Lakeview & Waterpark

8/10 Good

"Loved staying at this hotel. Staff was amazing. Very polite and helpful. I just wish there was an exhaust fan in the bathroom. The walls in bathroom have mold starting. They could dust a bit more."

Waterfront Inn - Mackinaw City

8/10 Good

"The room we had didn't match the photos online. They were clean and meet my family's need."

Clarion Hotel Mackinaw City Beachfront

10/10 Excellent

"My room was excellent and just what I wanted. The only problem was the elevator was down when I checked in. But the AC running in my room was a God send. The breakfast may have been the same, but I was happy to have it. Thank you to the cooks for providing the meal! The WiFi was a bit slow, but I managed. The whole stay was relaxing."

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, balcony was not. Great location!"

Clearwater Lakeshore Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great bridge view from balcony and beach. Enjoyed bonfire and s'mores on beach after exploring during the day, very relaxing with a great night time view of the bridge. Good breakfast with a great person keeping it maintained and readily available if assistance needed."

Lighthouse View Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was excellent. I would highly recommen."

Super 8 by Wyndham Bridgeview of Mackinaw City

8/10 Good

"Our stay was very nice. One thing I would like to comment on is the girl that checked us in on September 8, I believe her name was Nicoy. She waswas outstanding. She was very pleasant and helpful. She went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. She wasn't there just to get a pay check like some. She was very cute, well dressed and had a very pleasant personality. It's hard to find employees that are this conscientious and reflect so outstandingly on a business. She deserves some special recognition for her positive reflection on the business. She's a keeper! She will get you return business."

Holiday Inn Express Mackinaw City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The people working here made the big difference! We come to expect quality in Holiday Inn Express rooms and food. But the employees were simply outstanding. Accommodating and helpful. I suffered a heart attack on this, our 50th anniversary trip. But they bent over backwards on a Labor Day weekend to help us through our crisis. We will definitely re-attempt our trip and next time, we will again choose this location and hopefully get to stay the entire trip. Thank you for your help and kindness."

Court Plaza Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Room was really nice. The only drawback was old air conditioner that was load and would wake you up when it kicked on."
