The air-conditioning wasn't working in the 1st room when I called to report it to the front desk they just said to open a window and to wait to get colder. I asked to be moved into another room. Second room was better but lack on door was broken and the railing on the balcony was damaged. Rooms were not clean there was dust everywhere and the sheets were stained. Wouldn't probably stay there again

Comfortable stay to visit Macinoc and Dark Sky Par
Friendly front desk, comfortable beds, good layout, balcony. We had a very comfy stay. You can see that some minor maintenance would be welcome but nothing that could effect our stay.

It was clean and loved looking at the northern lights from my balcony. My sons went to swim in pool but they were overwhelmed by the chlorine smell and decided not to tempt it. Check in was easy, staff were nice. No issues. Good stay.

There was a blood stain on my sheets and on the other bed there was a little black hairs up by their Pillows. Originally, the check in guy was pretty nice, but the next couple of people were very, well, just not really altogether there. If you’re into dark, dingy, decrepit places this might be the spot for you.

Overnight Stay
Had an overnight stay with my family before we went to the UP. Location of the hotel is convenient for a trip to Mackinac Island or Mackinac City. However, it’s an outdated property and it seems not a lot of effort goes into keeping the appearance up. Tables and chairs meant for the conference room line the hallways. Rusty grates and faucets in the rooms. Paint peeling off the walls. The complementary breakfast was very poor. The staff were pleasant and helpful but this wouldn’t be my first choice if we stayed in the area again.
