"We had a great experience staying at the Hamilton Inn. The location was perfect because we could walk to everything and the room was clean and comfortable with an amazing view of the lake. Breakfast was also very good with a lot of options. I guess my only complaint was the mattress was a bit hard. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the staff were very nice. I think the value was really good too."

"We planned our first FAMILY VACATION (17 of us!) to Mackinaw City staying at the Beach House cabins on Lake Huron. It was absolutely perfect! Each family having their own cabin, with my husband and I sharing the duplex with our youngest two. The bonfires each night, using the BBQ grills, the chairs, picnic tables, and swings, all on the beach made this a special time. Martin was available to answer every question in the office!!

And it continued when we were getting into our room. Great location. Not many steps across the street from Shepherds ferry. Located towards the end of the main street so wasnt crowded with tons of visitors walking around. The indoor pool area looked great however we didnt use the pool.

"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 The room was clean, but the furniture was outdated and the couch had seen better days.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."

"The Thunderbird has consistently been a clean, reliable hotel we have used over the years. This time, we traveled with a pet and wonder if it might have affected which room we received. We stayed in room 128 this trip. It appeared clean but much more worn than previous rooms. The floor turned out to be quite dirty upon closer inspection, our pet came out from under the bed cover in dust and cobwebs, the a/c struggled to cool the room, though it got no hotter than 78 during our stay, the tub drained slowly, and we rolled into the center of the beds, like the springs/support was worn out or broken on the mattresses. This is an older hotel that could use a little TLC on the pool & play areas. Otherwise, the rates are great, the location is quiet and away from the congestion of the main strip, they have ice and discount coupons and tickets available, the sheets and towels were clean, the fridge cooled nicely, we had coffee and disposable cups for all four of us, enough room and, most importantly, they are not only pet friendly (which generally only means dog friendly), but they welcomed our cat, which is the best amenity they could offer! We will continue to stay here on future visits."

"Only thing I wish was that the beach was more combed and a lot of overgrown plants in general. Over all great place to stay (-some of the lights might be out in bridge view 25) super close to town and the ferry. We also spent time downtown since there was an event going on (car show)"

"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."
