The fitted sheets on the beds did not fit properly and they continually came off on one corner throughout both nights. The bathroom vanity area could use a bit of renovation. The people who work there were very polite, helpful and courteous. One of the staff even revisited our room one week later to look for a lost item and then called us back to report--AWESOME!!

The little cabins were very pleasant and clean, but were crowded close together, and had the feeling of being in a parking lot. More trees and plantings near the cabins would help. Also, the mattress in our cabin was not very good, I could feel springs poking me. All things considered, though, I would stay there again.

This rating should be applied to the Hamilton Inn Select as they called me the day before my stay and said the Econolodge Bayview was doing some renovating and the Hamilton Inn Select accomodated my reservation...so to rate them... The service was great...the room was fantastic...temperpedic bed made me sleep like a baby...the breakfast buffet was decent...the only small complaint I would have had was the public pool and jacuzzi was so crowded we couldn't even get into the jacuzzi and at 9 oclock at night there were way to many little kids there for that time of night...but that is not the hotels fault...just poor parenting decisions...

The hotel was great for our family. We stayed in the motel portion right on the lake. We were able to park the car right outside the room for easy access. The 2 pools were great and the weather cooperated and allowed us to use the outdoor pool during our entire stay. We loved the nightly bonfire and the large picnic area allowed us to use our grill and make our own meals on several of the nights that we stayed. Very quite, would definitely recommend for a family stay. We hope to stay again.

It's not the Four Seasons by any stretch of the imagination but for a family staying with 2 young kids the price and amenities can't be beat! It was typical Mackinac fall weather during our visit,cold, windy and rainy but the water park (which was bigger and nicer than I had anticipated) was a great distraction for the kiddos. The huge hot breakfast bar with make your own waffles was great to "load up"on before heading out in the weather. For $49 a night for the 5 of us, we didn't even feel like we paid for the room, which was way spacious even if a little old. We stayed 2 nights here and headed for the island for a additional 2. Truth be told we wish we would have just done a day trip to the island this time and would have stayed all 4 nights at this hotel as the kids got sort of bored on the island. If the rates stay this low we will be back again this year and a couple times next year - we can afford "mini vacations" at this price!

I like how they have redone the chalets indoors. The room suited our needs. Really enjoyed the breakfast buffet in the mornings. The only thing I had to do on Saturday was find the maid to get us clean towels and more coffee for Sunday. I don't think they would have stopped by as it was about 3 pm when I did this. I had already made the bed,and that wasn't a big deal to me, but I do think they should stop by and restock. Other than that, everyone was very freindly.

Great price, close to water park, the breakfast was a little disorganized, but it was fairly busy. The room seemed cleaner the second which was weird. The water park was great, but there is no supervision and a lot of parents there don't pay attention to their children so you have to watch if it gets busy.
