Top Downtown Mackinac Island Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

8/10 Good

"The staff and room was great. Did not enjoy the breakfast though, close to Ferry a plus."

Island House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great hotel. We had never been to Mackinac before and really loved this hotel and the location. There is a bike rental right out front, so you can easily rent a bike and ride around the island. It was really close to all the other things we wanted to do on the island. We enjoyed the hot tub too. That was nice after a long day of walking around. Overall we loved our stay and will definitely come back!"

Clearwater Lakeshore Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This property was great! The rooms were updated and clean. They offer free breakfast,(breakfast food was only a star but I don’t eat breakfast anyway so it didn’t matter to me), and they have fires going on the beach with s’mores they provide. The view of the bridge is perfect from the lake view rooms. I’d go back in a second."

Bridge Vista Beach - Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"This was probably the best hotel I have ever stayed at! The gentleman at the check in were extremely friendly! Room was very nice, beds were comfy, the balcony view was great! Only issue we had was the sliding screen door didn’t open well, and the screen was falling off, but we made it work! Also the door going to the balcony would not lock. But still 10/10 !! We will definitely go back again!"
