Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

8/10 Good
"The check-in staff was excellent. Also, our room was very clean. Our only complaint is the breakfast. The free breakfast was disappointing. I would suggest another meat other than ham. It was difficult to eat. Cheap plastic silverware was provided so you couldn't cut it into smaller pieces. We heard others stating 'this is disappointing '. My husband's pancake was hard around the edges... weird. We skipped the 2nd day's breakfast at the hotel."

"Our room was fine. It was clean and quite adequate for spending the night. We will note that the pictures shown did not match the room that we received. The picture showed lovely rooms with wooden walls and modern bathroom counters, etc.. It also said we would stay in a cabin. Our room was attached to the office and just had regular wallpaper, nothing like the photo or description. That was not a real problem, but it was not what we were expecting. The price was very good and we rested well. 🙂"
