"It was awful. We only had our room cleaned 1 time during a 4 nite stay. The place needs updated badly. When I asked for another room for my sons family of 3 because the door lock was broken, I was told there were none yet I overheard them tell a man, they could place him and his family of 3 in a room.Never will I stay there in the future"

"Location was great. Our room was very spacious only complaint was the room was a little musty smelling but clean and everyone was very helpful. Close to town but yet far enough away not to be in the middle of everything. We stayed in a suite and the only thing I would change is maybe the fridge and microwave being on the king bedroom instead of putting everything in the room with 2 beds ."

"If you are just looking for a place to just lay your head at night, this is it. The room was clean, beds and pillows comfy, the AC worked great and the ladies at the front desk were very pleasant.Location is great. Literally right across the street from the ferry.Not much for amenities. No breakfast at the hotel, but you get BOGO free breakfast to two places close by.We did not try the water park, as we have aged out of water parks a while ago.Saw many bad reviews about dirty rooms and other stuff. We did not encounter any of that.Would stay there again if we ever go back to Mac City."

"Location and ease of check in and ferry access was great. I liked that we could open the first floor window but since there was no screen on the window, we didn\'t want to have it open. The AC unit was average for a window unit; the stay would have been better with a better AC situation. Kitchenette was good and spacious. The double/queen beds were okay. Bathroom was sufficient and seemed clean. Host at front desk was pleasant. Access to both waterparks with towels, was a plus, but the offsite one had a large area under construction. For the on site waterpark, the large hot tub was functional and well heated but some tiles missing on the pool wall. We used the pools in the evenings and the atmosphere seemed a little dingy or worn but the waters were a good temp and no complaints from the kid(s). The stay was good and we would consider staying here again."

"Location is great for shopping and ferry access. The rooms give a nice log cabin feel so it doesn\'t seem that your in the middle of a city. The service is always good and very friendly. The only thing I\'d like different is a microwave in the room. We usually stay in the hotel and really enjoyed the chalet this year. The set up was a bit odd. The mini fridge is where the closet area is so we had to use the nightstands to stack luggage and carry bags. Overall, we enjoyed our stay."

"The room was a little worn. The bed was a little firm for my taste. The bathroom and fixtures were very outdated. Lighting in the bathroom was awful. Updating the light would help, looked like a 70s throwback. The peeling wallpaper throughout the room was a turnoff. Also, we came during midge (little mosquito like bugs) season so we spent 30 minutes killing all of the ones in our room the first night. The floors were nice having been recently redone as well as the room furniture. The atmosphere was friendly and the location was perfect."

"We liked the location and cost for the room. We were close enough to downtown to enjoy the shops, but still had privacy without feeling crowded in. The room was clean, but the furniture was outdated and the couch had seen better days. We enjoyed the pool and the staff was helpful and friendly. However, the room with the ice machine had tons of spider webs coming from the ceiling. Enough spiders to give anyone Arachnophobia. It needed a good cleaning. The hotel is pet friendly which is a bonus. We would stay here again. We did get waterpark passes, but did not use them."

"Location was easy to access and close to everything. Hotel is a little dated but honestly that fits the great price. If you are expecting luxury and amenities this isnt the place for you. That being said the room was clean, very well stocked, and very spacious. The pool was close by and not busy. The hotel was quiet. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again. If value and a solid place to stay are on your list this is the place. Beds appeared to be new. We had read some reviews about bugs and that was not a problem. There was absolutely no issue with our room at all. Everything was clean and functional."

"The Thunderbird was super! We really enjoyed the Jacuzzi! The floor probably couldve been cleaner, but everything else was super duper and it was so close to where we watched the fireworks on 4 July, which was our 15th wedding anniversary, and the shopping was so close on Central Avenue. The property was really nice! And the access from the local roads and the highway was upstanding! Parking was also great!"

"Comfy bed, great views, large room, balcony with two chairs, quiet, great water pressure in the shower- we had a great stay and would definitely stay again. We had room 25 upstairs facing the lake and the bridge. Only thing that couldve been better was the AC unit which was in the bathroom and struggled to keep up with the hot day. But we opened the windows at night and it was cool enough to sleep!"

"Excellent budget hotel. Definitely would stay again. Rooms were clean. Housekeeping does not clean room daily during your stay and it is odd to go to the next hotel for check-in. Hotel needs some maintenance but was clean."

"The hotel was fine but the most extraordinary thing was the lady on the reception. She was a great human being and helped me and my family immensely, in every way she could. Unfortunately doesn\'t her name but wanted to give a very big shout out for something specifically that she did for us. The room that I booked in this hotel was having just a queen bed which was a mistake to book and which understandably couldn\'t accommodate all my family (five persons, two adults and 3 kids). When I went inside and noticed how small it was I went back to her and informed that I didn\'t realize that the room would be so small for which she replied that she herself was surprised why I chose such a small room. I explained that it was my mistake and I didn\'t pay too much attention while I was making reservation. That nice lady without asking me upgraded to a bigger room and made this whole experience so awesome. Thanks to her."

"This is not your luxury, 5 star motel, but a classic Mom and Pop. It is removed from the hustle and bustle of the congested area of Mackinaw City, which is part of the allure. It is an older facility, I have been coming for 30+ years. It is clean, and as week kept as an older place can be. The desk people are warm and friendly. The sheets were some of the best. There are chairs and lakeside campfires and the views are amazing."
