The hotel has a great location close to both the ferry dock and downtown Mackinaw City, making exploration easy. However, our room was a letdown with cleanliness issues and poor service. While it was fairly comfortable, the experience was marred by several concerns, and I wouldn't recommend it if you have other options.
