Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Patrick from Decatur stayed in July 2014It would have been better if there was an elevator. The breakfast was exactly the same every day and the advertisement overstated it. The beach area needs some work. The "water park" was also way overstated in the advertising. The room was reasonably clean. Overall a good value for the price.These comments are from a verified stay115 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Ryan from Lansing stayed in October 2013Just before our trip in October, I received a phone call to inform me that the Fairview Beachfront Inn had to close down early due to issues. I was informed that we had been moved to Bridge Vista Beach Hotel, where we had stayed last year. When we checked in, we were informed that we had been complimentarily upgraded to a suite. We were very appriecitive of the generosity of the hotel. We love coming up to Mackinac/Mackinaw, and we will continue to come up and reserve through the Chamber of Tourism.These comments are from a verified stay121 people found this helpful.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn David & Vicki from Grand Ledge stayed in September 2013Our stay was actually between "Good" and "Outstanding". We had a room facing the lake, we could watch the boats going to and from the island. We traveled to Grand Marais, Whitefish Pte., Cross Village for dinner. We had a wonderful time, the cost of the 3 night stay quite reasonable, and we really appreciated the nice breakfasts offered - it saved us additional money. We will definitely stay there again.These comments are from a verified stay147 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Allan from Detroit stayed in September 2013OK overall, clean and relatively quiet room, good location. However, there was too much noise from neighboring a/c (did not run room a/c, too noisy) and having to climb up and down 3 flights of stairs, even to get ice on first floor, was annoying.These comments are from a verified stay130 people found this helpful.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Matthew from Livonia stayed in August 2013The room was clean, and hotel convenient to the beach. Could use some updating...bed very uncomfortable, not much rest while we were there. The walk to the neighboring hotel was fine as we had good weather. Would hate to have to do that in bad weather. All in all, a decent stay for the price.These comments are from a verified stay104 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Jeanne-Marie from Duluth stayed in August 2013We received an on-line discount which started us on a good note. The room was comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the view from our little balcony. The beach was much appreciated!! Originally, we were a touch frustrated that so many of our neighbors were feeding the gulls from their balconies-- which hindered our ability to enjoy them as the birds were suddenly expecting food from us, and even attempted to take our pizza-- but! Before we could even say anything, an employee placed a small, but legible sign on the beach. "Do not feed the birds." And, it did stop, whether it was the sign or the neighbors all checked out... Not sure, but we were pleased. We did not utilize the pool or the waterparks as we had plenty to do, but we saw many pleased families. Our main suggestion would be the breakfast.... we understand the difficulty of feeding so many folks, but four mornings of the same caused us to have a late breakfast elsewhere. All in all, we had a delightful time and would like to return. Thanks for being so welcoming to your visitors!!These comments are from a verified stay120 people found this helpful.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Christiana from Claremont stayed in July 2013Everything was clean. Hotel is definitely dated, but for the price, our room opened to the beach, the staff was excellent and friendly and it was convenient walking to downtown and the ferry without draining the budget! If you are looking for a place where you are really just going to be sleeping, then this is it. It is most certainly not a resort, but it was perfect for us!These comments are from a verified stay104 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Eugene from Lake Orion stayed in July 2013I had no idea we would be on the top floor with no elevator. My back was sore so this was a chore each time. The room was nice, clean and cool. One suggestion aside from the elevator is, don't heat the pool in the summer! The pool was nice and clean but too warm. I would probably stay there again provided I was on a first floor.These comments are from a verified stay117 people found this helpful.
