Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Diana from Oakwood stayed in July 2013We enjoyed our stay at the Fairview Beachfront Inn. After booking our room online, when we arrived there was a mix-up in our room request. Although, the woman who waited on us said it could not be changed, the other attendant at the desk, a man, said that he would take care of it. We were very happy with our room, the cleanliness and the view. We did have to walk next door to another hotel for breakfast, but the food was very good and hot. We have stayed here in the past and would return.These comments are from a verified stay104 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn David from Flint stayed in June 2013Everything was fine. Rooms were clean and all however, the breakfast thing was a little screwy. One day they told us it was in the building on the right the next day it was the buildings on the left. It didn't matter to us but we felt like we were crashing a party at another hotel. We could'nt get any extra towels either.These comments are from a verified stay122 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Scott from Byron stayed in February 2013We 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.These comments are from a verified stay92 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn James from Homer Glen stayed in August 2012Beautiful, 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.These comments are from a verified stay88 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Douglas from Grand Rapids stayed in August 2012Rooms 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.These comments are from a verified stay109 people found this helpful.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn james from Jackson stayed in August 2012We 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.These comments are from a verified stay125 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|
Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Jessica from Farmington Hills stayed in August 2012The hotel was dated and one of the two beds was really, really uncomfortable. However, the breakfast was good, as was the pool and access to the waterparks. For the price, we would certainly stay here again.These comments are from a verified stay98 people found this helpful.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn David from Longview stayed in July 2012Loved having a beach front unit! Loved having access to 3 water parks!

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Holly from London stayed in July 2012Outstanding. Friendly staff, room was very clean, comfortable and had a relaxing Retro beach vibe.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Erica from Saginaw stayed in July 2012We 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.These comments are from a verified stay116 people found this helpful.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Donald T. from Peoria stayed in July 2012We were disappointed in the beach and also WIFi connection was bad.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Anna from Denmark stayed in July 2012This 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.These comments are from a verified stay95 people found this helpful.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Jill from Delavan stayed in July 2012The hotel was very nice and affordable, especially since we booked online and we booked early.

Great Mackinaw Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Lane from Midland stayed in July 2012Great hotel prices and staff....the only two things that could change are the parking (not enough or close to room) and the temperature of the water spray room...the water was absolutely freezing...no one would go in, however the huge jacuzzi was a great hit with the kids!These comments are from a verified stay117 people found this helpful.
