Everything was great for the most part except the bathroom was freezing and the water from the faucet never got hot. Had an otherwise great time. Beautiful view and it was clean. Would go again.

What a gem! Spotlessly clean and a beautiful view of the bridge out one window and a view of Mackinac Island out the other. Very friendly staff, adorable room. Renovated bathroom, nice TV for rainy days. Comfy beds, lots of outlets to charge gadgets. Can’t say a bad thing about it, already planning our return! Don’t stay at a chain, stay here!

Rooms are very clean and very well appointed. The best part is the view of the bridge and Lake Huron. We got a Lakeview room, and we're very happy with it, But the rooms on the end have a big picture window looking straight on at the lake and the bridge. I wish I had known about them with rented one of those.

The front desk clerk was very nice. He gave us helpful information. We came in late and he was informative. The man in the morning was also very helpful. The room was clean and seeing the bridge from our room was beautiful. However the bed was not very comfortable.

The room is comfortable, the scenery is beautiful, and the environment is very quiet. Dining is convenient, and it’s nice to take a walk around. If you’re lucky, you can even see the northern lights. A wonderful motel overall.
