The property was fine, but the doors were definitely not secure which could have posed an issue, we loved the views and the access to the lake, the pool was out of commission our entire stay which is a big deal for the kids.

The floor was very sticky and filthy. There was trash on the floor under the table... not good for dogs or children. The ice machine was broken and according to the people next door who had been there all week it was broken when they got there. The pool had been drained so... there was no pool. On the positive side it was right on the water and the first floor rooms had great porches!

Indoor outdoor pool was empty. Stated lightening hit it last week but was so dirty you could tell it hadn't had water in it for a long time. Room was okay but the floor was full of sand. Water in sink and shower was rusty and had a bad smell. Bathroom ceiling peeling and tub surround falling off. Staff was unfriendly and uncaring with complaint about pool. Would not recommend. Just spend a few more dollars and get better accommodations.

Needs repair

We stayed in the little single ground level motel part. So the two level hotel rooms on the beach might be nicer. In our room, the internet didn’t work. The bed sheets were clean and was comfortable. However, the room had a musty smell. The bathroom was in need of repairs and had mildew in the shower and a very loose toilet seat.

The property was a little run down. The shower leaked hot water when on and would burn if not careful. The private beach was amazing and made everything worth it. Our room did not have a microwave, but upon rwquest we were brought on. Staff was very nice.

We felt the location was decent, the rooms were just dirty with what looked like to be mold in the bathroom and stray hairs on the floor. The lock was also falling off the door so we didn’t feel safe with that. The pictures online were very deceiving. Service was good and check in went smooth. We ended checking out of that hotel the same night and switched to another hotel we felt safer in

I was VERY disappointed in this property. The ceiling of our bathroom was literally peeling off with big chunks missing, the room wasn’t properly cleaned prior to our check in (dirty floors throughout, unclean glass, and icky bathroom), our bathtub wouldn’t drain correctly, there were literal webs with bugs inside of the room, they literally left us with one tiny bottle of shampoo in the bathroom (we had three travelers…) and no soap of any sort for the sink, and finally they didn’t give us additional towels (even when asked multiple times and promised they would be brought up). The only good thing was the view of the bridge. Save your time and money and book somewhere else. I don’t normally leave reviews, but this time I thought it might save another family from the same fate. This place also owns a couple other properties right next to this one so beware of that also.

This was our first visit to Michigan! While we only stayed here one night it was nice. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the fire pits outside! My son enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed our view of the beautiful sunrise the next morning! It is right off the lake which was a gorgeous setting. Close to Mackinac, but just outside the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to and parking was ample. No elevator, so be prepared to take carry your items to the 2nd floor. The staff was great and very accommodating! Our room was one of the renovated ones on the 2nd floor and we loved it. They did a really great job on it. The mayflies were awful though if you left the porch light on next to your door ... so we just kept ours off (just slightly unscrewed the light bulb). Stayed here June 13-14.
Bathroom was clean and there were plenty of towels.
Room was newly renovated and offered a mini fridge, coffee, microwave, and TV.
Pool went from inside to outside. There is a hot tub inside the building off the pool. Plenty of seating. :)
Pool looking towards the building we stayed in and Lake Huron.

The first room I was given upon check-in at 5 PM had not been cleaned. The second room I was given had allegedly been cleaned, but upon closer inspection, it was really dirty. I took my shoes off and walked around for about five minutes barefoot on the tile floor and my feet were filthy. There were cobwebs and insects around the light fixtures. The sliding glass door could not be locked however they provided a stick to keep the door from opening. There was a gap around the main door a quarter of an inch wide and you could hear absolutely everything outside. There was no iron or ironing board in the room. Stains in the bathtub. The general condition of the property and the rooms overall was just very poor. All this for $160 a night. There was also no one available for checkout at 7:30 AM to get a copy of your receipt. Just a key drop.

I’m so confused. When checking in, I found out they manage 4 properties from the sunrise beach desk. I had reservations for Sunrise Beach. When I got there, they said they didn’t have my reservation but they were going to put me in a nicer motel next door for no up charge. That sounded great. When I got there, it looked exactly like the pictures I reserved. What does Sunrise Beach look like?!?! Also, the sign out front had a price waayyyy lower than I paid. AND, Bridgeview and Sunrise prices out front were the same. If it’s a nicer motel, it should be higher right? I can only speak for Bridgeview Motel. It was newly remodeled and looked fairly clean, but still made me feel dirty. Not sure how to explain why. Beds were ok. Sheets felt super cheap. Beach extends back behind Sunrise and Bridgeview. It was weedy and not well-maintained. Not knocking the motel too much. It looked like almost every hotel in the area. Overall, it was an OK experience, but unless you pay outrageous prices to stay on the island, I’d expect your hotel to be about the same experience as mine.
