At breakfast the hot foods were cold. The opened windows didn't have screens in them so bugs could come in.
Bathroom ceiling fan. Wrong bulbs and so mand cobwebs. Cobwebs were also around doorways and around windows.
Walls had scuff marks all over them. I don't think the rooms were throughly cleaned from last season.

It was gross. The smell was covered up pee with pine sol... So gross. The room has dirty torn carpet. Very old and worn out. The bathroom fan was loud, sounded like it was landing a plane. The lights didn't have a cover. The fridge was on the fritz and made a million noises. Which made us turn it off. So it was pointless. I could hear every single whisper outside the door. Do not recommend until they invest in their property and upgrade.

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed for 4 days and our room was never cleaned. I'm sure this is part of being "eco-friendly". Two small garbage cans (in bathroom next to toilet and under the sink) are not enough for 4 days. We had to request fresh bath towels and toilet paper on the 3rd day and had to go to the office to get the items requested. The breakfast consisted of pancakes and ham for hot options. then rolls and cereal. It was the same every morning. The mattresses are FIRM. I had a backache from them. I don't much like Firm, I prefer a mattress that softer. I was diagnosed with cancer 6 month ago, so I am trying to plan trips with my family to make memories. I love Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island and enjoyed both. The hotel, not as much. There could be some improvements.

While the staff are nice, the property sorely needs an update. The bathroom was showing signs of age like mildewed caulking, broken tiles, etc. The furniture was ancient. In addition, if you have a problem with stairs, be sure to ask for an accessible room. The only beachfront rooms that don't require stairs are the ground level rooms.
