Nice beds, great water pressure and on the shoreline.These comments are from a verified stay43 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The hotel was very convenient with a great location and very pet friendly with good rates. However the mattresses were not good and should be replaced with better ones.

Did you find this helpful?|The location was great right on the beach beautiful scenery when we woke up in the morning. The rooms were decent, more room than usual hotels have but breakfast was crappy but they had breakfast at the hotel next to them. I didn't like that they close from 11pm to 7 am we had to go to the hotel next to it to check in and get our keys cuz we got there at 11:15 ball traveling back from the Porcupine Mountains. We spent the whole morning lyrics until 11 I guess we would stay there again if we had to it was worth it. But not everything is perfect all the time.These comments are from a verified stay58 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Because we did not receive the queen beds that we ordered, they gave us a cabin. Funny though, the beds were still not queen, but the cabin upgrade spoke volumes. I'm not sure they should advertise queen since many rooms are full size only. Thanks, was a good experience!These comments are from a verified stay69 people found this helpful.

The grounds would benefit from additional maintenance such as replacing the non-slip material on exterior stairs. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Price was very reasonable compared to other hotels in the area.These comments are from a verified stay79 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The room was nice. Clean. Beautiful view over the water. There was confusion as to what time check out was. One hotel personal said 11while another said 10. The breakfast was ok but there was not really any gluten free choices such as hard boiled eggs and such.These comments are from a verified stay59 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We try to come 1X each year and stay in the same cabin. Even though I requested this cabin, we were originally assigned to a cabin that did not meet our needs or standards. Staff was completely accommodating and moved us to the usual cabin we stay in. Throughout the stay, the staff was great, location/pool and option of having a cabin with 2 rooms and all necessary cooking materials is optimal for us. Price is also a factor in our choice.These comments are from a verified stay95 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|It is a hotel of great value. Very cheap, and the decor and furniture is like taking a step back in time. But for the price, we were content with what we got. The hotel staff was helpful and kind. We ended up getting a better room than asked for. We very much enjoyed our stay.These comments are from a verified stay81 people found this helpful.

Waterfront InnWaterfront Inn Ron And Julia from Sterling Heights stayed in September 2017Chose this place for location & cost. Spent one night then went to the Island & spent 2 nights @ the Grand. Quick registration, room clean. Could have a small night light in bathroom, because nocturnal visits woke up sleeping partner. Also advice re breakfast, so we went elsewhere. It was okay, and what we expected.These comments are from a verified stay83 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Room was very neat and clean and it was big too.

Friendly Staff.These comments are from a verified stay85 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|I felt that the service was outstanding. The front desk clerk was very thorough & accommodating. We pulled in ahead of check-in time but we were allowed to park at the hotel while we went to the Island. After parking & grabbing our jackets & purses, the front desk manager walked over with our key. She didn't have to do that. We were allowed to settle into our room shortly after. Later that evening she also provided a bottle-opener for us -- no judgement :) Service was excellent, but it is an older hotel, although very clean. The beach & view of the water is also a wonderful perk of the hotel.These comments are from a verified stay85 people found this helpful.

Did you find this helpful?|The room was as clean as it could be. being as it was an old hotel, there were the obvious signs of wear and tear, but that did not effect our stay at all. The front desk staff was very accommodating in allowing us to change our reservation from a cabin and a room to two room as one of the people schedule to come, dropped off the trip. The downtown area was easy to navigate and there was plenty of parking once all of the tourists went to bed for the night. We will visit Mackinaw City again in the future.These comments are from a verified stay105 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Stay was pleasant with Waterfront Inn.
