"Location was excellent with a great view. Our jacuzzi had good jets and plenty of hot water. The staff were wonderful- from the front desk to housekeeping it was very well managed. The breakfast was not great, but appreciated it all the same, especially as it was complimentary. The waffle was good as was the coffee (most importantly). The breakfast staff were also great working to keep items stocked when it was very busy and in high demand."

"The location was perfect. Easy walk to everything in town. Rooms were slightly above average and definitely overpriced for the accommodations but so were all the other hotels in town because it was Labor Day weekend. Breakfast was fair and very unorganized and only served for 2 hours. I would stay again but only if the price was lower."

"Our stay was a very pleasant experience. The room was clean and all bedding and towels were fresh. We had a mini-refrigerator and a microwave which performed well. The view was amazing! Only bads (two) and neither were deal breakers. The railing on the balconly was inundated with spiders of all sizes and shapes. A person would not want to lean up on it! The other bad was in the Water Park. The area is so warm that we could not stay very long. The view as you circle on the Lazy River is very disheartening. They have literally \"ripped\" out the slides and left the frame work remaining and the pool that you would have slid into is a green, slimy looking remnant of better days. I would suggest making \"trees\" out of the framework if they are going to leave it there and clean up the basin of the pool. Everything else was great. The hot tub was very relaxing. All in all, it was a pleasurable stay."

"The front desk staff was incredible! Super friendly, funny yet professional. From our arrival, we had a great first impression because of them. Location was absolutely perfect and the view at the beach was stunning. Our room was great, my only minor complaint was the amount of dead bugs and spider webs on the balcony, it was clear it hadnt been cleaned in a while so we didnt get to enjoy the balcony. Having the fire pits on the beach was a huge surprise to us and made our night there extra special, we loved that amenity"

Breakfast was good. We loved our stay. Elevator is a little out of the way. We used the stairs mostly, so ask for ground floor if mobility is an issue. I\'d love to stay there again!"

"I\'ve stayed at Starlite before. It\'s peaceful, quiet and AFFORDABLE. I travel on a VERY TIGHT BUDGET and cannot afford all those fancy hotels and motels. Please keep Starlite AFFORDABLE. I WILL return there again. Thank You Starlite. And YES the room was clean. I liked it had a fridge, microwave and even a hairdryer. Thanks again."

"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."

"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."
