Did you find this helpful?|The only negative thing I can say is that the TV was a little challenging to turn on, but we figured out that we had to use the controls on the TV itself to change to channel 3. (For some reason, every time we turned it off, the station switched to a different channel other than 3, and the cable box only worked when the TV was on channel 3.) Otherwise, we had an awesome time. Thank you.These comments are from a verified stay118 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|When we go to Mackinaw we don't want to spend a lot for a hotel room. Waterfront Inn keeps their prices at a reasonable rate. They are an older hotel but everything is clean and the staff is always great. We will always stay at Waterfront Inn when vacationing in Mackinaw.These comments are from a verified stay111 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|For the price we could not ask for much more. We had a balcony with a view of the bridge and the island, we had a place to sleep and shower and even though the hotel was older it was clean. It was all we needed because we spent most of our time doing all of the great activities the area has to offer!!!These comments are from a verified stay104 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Nothing fancy, but clean and a great rate.These comments are from a verified stay117 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Very nice people working at the front desk. Nice clean room. Nice hottub and pool! Great viewThese comments are from a verified stay132 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|I was just stopping for the night. Clean, quiet, and reasonably priced was what I was looking for. I was quite satisfied. Staff was friendly and helpful. When I had a question about the air conditioner, they sent the maintenance man up within 10 minutes to look at it. With beach frontage, I was treated to the fireworks in Mackinaw City. There was a complimentary breakfast voucher given to me at check in, but I didn't take advantage of it, so can't comment. I would stay there again.These comments are from a verified stay129 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The staff at the Waterfront were AWESOME !!!! We had a oceanfront view which was GREAT. The room was spacious and clean but in need of an update. Otherwise, for the value I would stay again.These comments are from a verified stay129 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Traveler Reviews (151-200 of 231)
