Top Mackinaw City Hotel Reviews

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at this hotel. Our room was clean although it could use some updates. The area was close to everything we needed. There were not many choices for breakfast."

Holiday Inn Express Mackinaw City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Cabins of Mackinaw

8/10 Good

"Very cozy and comfortable would definitely stay there again"

Clearwater Lakeshore Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We travel to the northern lower peninsula and UP at least once a year. This is the best place we have found to stay by far for the price. The front desk staff were very helpful and so nice. (We did find the gentleman who ran the breakfast and did some things outside to be kind of gruff.) The rooms were very clean and updated. We loved the smores on Lake Huron overlooking the bridge. Overall, we had a great stay and will definitely be back!"

Crown Choice Inn & Suites Lakeview & Waterpark

8/10 Good

"Overall a good place to stay. Room was specious with separate living room and space for a kitchen area which had a sink, countertop, cabinets and drawers plus mini fridge and microwave. Beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed the specious hot tub which was very relaxing after a long travel day. Didn’t use the water park but kids were enjoying. Only one thing was missing that bathroom should have an exhaust fan. Will stay again."

Waterfront Inn - Mackinaw City

10/10 Excellent

"Pool is old- parking was hard to find a spot but the beach area with the fire pits were beautiful and well maintained."

The Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our 2-night getaway. The free upgrade upon arrival was such a generous touch! The cabin is definitely older with a bit of a quirky layout, but it was very clean and well-maintained. Since we were out exploring the beautiful surrounding area all day anyway, it was the perfect clean, quiet spot to crash at night."

Baymont by Wyndham Mackinaw City

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Super friendly front desk. Clean rooms. Will definitely stay here again"

Clarion Hotel Mackinaw City Beachfront

8/10 Good

"Very convenient, near the Mackinac bridge. We were in room 422. I recommend requesting this one! Unbelievable sunrise, balcony. Somewhat odd path to get to this building, but absolutely worth the trouble. Comfortable bed. Odd pillows and no additional bedding, of which it had appeared to be fresh and clean. The room hadn't been dusted or potentially vacuumed in sometime. But it was spacious and had everything needed for a one-night stay. I would definitely stay in this room again, I cannot say one of the ones without the view would be worth it however. Tried to include pictures but app won't cooperate."
