We did not stay at the Fairview, because it was closed for the season. We stayed at the Hamilton Beachfront Inn. It was wonderful. The room was clean, well appointed, and cozy. The breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the experience in the dining room. Every staff member was friendly, helpful, and made sure we had all we needed. Having a jacuzzi in our room was wonderful, and the hotel pool was inviting and enjoyable. I would stay at The Hamilton again.

very clean and very friendly with check in and out. Although they share the breakfast bar with the hotel next door, the breakfast was average, they could have a bigger room and/or more seating to accommendate both hotels at peak time for breakfast.

Beautiful, clean, modern room with great view of Lake Huron. Comfortable beds, very nice bathroom, and quiet. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Very good hot breakfast in nice setting. Took advantage of lazy river, hot tun, and pool. Caught very to Mackinac Island. Short walk. Easy stroll to shopping and restaurants. Great rate for lake view. We return with our dog after Labor Day. Thus is the best place we have stayed in Mackinac, except for our Grand Hotel stay. Only suggestion is to replace tv in room. Closed caption on all time as button broken.

Rooms were clean and spacious but very basic(nothing fancy). One room did not have shampoo the first night but it was there the second night. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of food as well as a good variety. We had seven rooms for one night and six for the second night and they were all adjacent to each other in a separate wing, making it possible for us to socialize as a family.

We thought this hotel was clean, comfortable, had a great breakfast every day (we DIDN'T have to go to another building, it was right upstairs), beautiful view, and LOVED the waterpark for the kids! Downsides; water in the waterpark was a little cold, and the lakeside was horrible and rocky (could be due to receding water). Those 2 things combined made no water fun for mom and dad (kids could not have cared less!) We would have also liked a locking screen door to keep toddlers in and allow breeze in. Overall or under 100 per night, you can't beat it - we would stay again.

We stay at this hotel every year for our anniversary, and are satisfied with our stay. One minor inconvience is that they do not offer wi-fi. We are contemplating staying at a different hotel next year, unless the Fairview implements wi-fi. But we do love the hot tub. It's the best we have ever seen or experienced. However we could still use it if we stay at the other hotel we are considering.

This was a good value for the price - clean, comfortable, safe, and family friendly with beach access. I was able to walk from the hotel to tour historic features and I also walked to the Mackinaw Island Ferry for a day trip. I had trouble finding the location for the complimentary breakfast - a note in the room or at the office would have been helprul. In summary, the accomodations were not elegant or fancy but then, I didn't really need that since most of my time was spent exploring.
