7.2/10
I chose this hotel for a memorable family trip, and while we enjoyed some aspects, there were areas that could use improvement. The rooms were spacious and clean, making for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal, placing us close to the ferries for Mackinac Island. However, I found the breakfast offerings lacking variety, and the facility could benefit from some updates to enhance the overall experience.
Rooms
7.0
The rooms were spacious and clean, providing a comfortable environment for my family. Despite the nice layout, the view from our suite wasn't as expected, as one of the rooms faced the stairway instead of the lake.
Service
8.0
The staff was helpful and accommodating, especially when arranging our ferry tickets and trolley tours. They made my family's experience more enjoyable.
Location
9.0
The hotel's location was perfect, just a short walk to the ferry docks and local attractions. It made getting around very convenient for all of our plans.
Dining
5.0
The breakfast was quite standard and didn't offer much in terms of variety. While it served its purpose, I expected something more substantial given the hotel's price range.
Facilities
7.0
The pool area was inviting and well-maintained, providing a nice spot to relax after our outings. However, I believe that the overall decor of the hotel could use modernization.
