Leisure & Business
Located in the beach area of Mackinaw City, the hotel features a picnic area and a golf course.
“What this place lacks in modernity, it makes up for with its stellar location right by the beach-a real plus. I found the rooms acceptably clean and quiet, and the staff genuinely sweet, though be warned the lobby might occasionally be unmanned. Despite some outdated aspects and the occasional ant, access to the lake and overall experience were positive.”
