Literally steps from the old lighthouse! Able to get free shuttle to Shepler’s ferry dock from there so didn’t have to move the car: the motel desk lady told us about it! Gave coupons and information freely! Everything about the stay was great! Clean rooms and adjustable thermostats!

This is Family run hotel, they take excellent care of the property and their customers. The location is excellent, walkable to the mackinaw bridge, ferries to the island and many restaurants. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our 3 rd stay here.

The Lighthouse View Motel surpassed our expectations. My friends and I spent four nights there, and it was the best experience we've ever had. The place is very clean and safe, and the staff is very friendly. It feels like a family. We also learned a lot about our daily itinerary and other activities in the area. I highly recommend this place, and it is well worth the price. I give this motel 10 stars and two thumbs up!

Room was very dated. It was small. Tub was stained black and there was a hair in the sink when we arrived. Nice area with a park across the street. Bed was comfortable and it was quiet. It met our needs but wasn't kept up like we expected.

Room was very spacious and clean. We were on the 2nd floor which wasn’t awful even with a baby and 2 year old. Everything was very walkable. We never moved our car after getting there. We absolutely loved staying here and would definitely come back when visiting Mackinac Island again!!!

We were supposed to have a Queen bed and it was a double. Manager argued with me about it. Room smelled strongly for fragrance and was very outdated. Bedding was old and room was damp.

We were able to get our room keys early to accommodate our plans for the day and the staff was very friendly and offered great suggestions for places to eat and coupons. The room was nice and the beds were comfortable too. Overall a great experience.
