Our stay was near the end of October. The room was great and the breakfast was good. We had a problem with our heater in our room and tempertaure wise it was very cold when we checked in. Maintenance had to come work on it that evening. After about half hour, it was working. Other than that our stay was a good experience and I would stay there again.

This was a return visit to the same Best Western and plan to return next year. It was clean, warm and comfortable. The only problem was a lack of towel racks. The sink area is outside of the bathroom and there is no where to hang the used towels and it is inconvenient to go into the bathroom to dry your hands. Consequently you pile up the used ones around the sink and end up using another clean one - you have a message about water & energy conservation and to reuse towels but this makes it very difficult. The bathroom also needs towel racks, we stayed for 3 consecutive nights and had no where to hang the used towels. We certainly would have reused more if there was a place to hang and keep track of them.

The hotel room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The view wasn't as nice as I had hoped it would be. Breakfast left a little bit to be desired. Was looking forward to some gravy but it was not very good. Wish we had been told pick up our coupon pack before our check in time and prior to our ferry trip to Mackinaw Island. It would have saved up $15 on five tickets for the ferry.
