8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Oxford that stayed in August 2011When we first arrived, the man at the front desk would not even acknowledge me for 2 to 3 minutes. The lady turned around and immediately greeted me and helped check me in. The rest of the trip was great. The cleaning staff was very kind and helpful!!These comments are from a verified stay

Enjoyed the breakfast buffet, could had a few more choices. would like to see a discount when booking more than one room. Thanks for a grt stayThese comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Washington that stayed in August 2011The location is why I rated the hotel good. This hotel has a nice beach and the price is very reasonable. If it didn't have the nice beachfront I would have rated it average. I think they could make the beachfront more inviting with nice chairs and keep it organized. Regarding the rooms I think it would be very easy to make them more inviting with newer bedding. Overall we had a wonderful time in Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island!These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Sterling Heights that stayed in August 2011The hotel room was nice. Directions to the 2nd floor breakfast room in the Clarion would have been helpful. I also think they should not advertise to have internet services when the services actually are from the Clarion. We had spotty internet connection services. We did like the pool and the splash park.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Fraser that stayed in August 2011Very good for the price. Cleanliness was most important and it was clean. Noise level was good, didn't hear neighbors. Nice hot continental breakfast. Would have preferred more protein and some fresh fruit and yogurt as it was full of carbs. Sunday and Tuesday were restocked, the woman working Monday morning was too busy texting to keep it stocked until there were requests and complaints. Love being on the beach, wish there was some type of faucet off the beach to wash off sand rather than bringing into room. Love the large hot tub. Property needs basic maintenance, such as some issues with the small hot tub in temp..too cold one night, too hot the next and something protruding from bottom that needs a cover so no injuries to feet. My toilet needed the handle held down to flush. Really appreciated the fridge, wish there would have been a microwave in the room. Appreciated access to other water parks for a change in scenery. Good deal for price, would stay again.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Naperville that stayed in August 2011Everything was great, especially the staff. They helped us with directions to different sights and other questions we had. The room was nice and clean and comfortable.Breakfast was good, but after 4 days of the same eggs, sausage and fruit it got a little tiring. I know there were waffles and other items, but I think maybe having 1 different hot item everyday or every other day may add some spark to the breakfast. Yes, I would stay here again.

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Byron Center that stayed in August 2011We enjoyed the location, the various water parks available to us, the walking distance to the city and the ferries. We did not enjoy that other residents were feeding the seagulls who then perched on our porch making it messy.The room was clean but seemed very dark and damp. However we would chose to stay there again b/c of the great location. The service was very good too!These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Wayne that stayed in July 2011Rooms were clean from time we arrived until day we left. Friendly staff comfortable large hot tub and great views of Lake Huron. Free breakfast and proximity to downtown are nice features as well. Stayed there last year when it was the Aqua Grand. Loved it then as well. Will be booking again in the future...has become my go to get away spot. Only draw back was the 3rd floor upstairs no elevator. Lots of steps but wont stop me from staying there again.These comments are from a verified stay

6 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Chatham that stayed in July 2011Door did not close well. There was a littel concern about all door locks being keyed to open from the outside. Sliding screen on beach side was in bad shape and constantly came off track. Better free wifi would have been nice, it is almost becomeing the standard at motels. Furnishings were new enough and room was cleanThese comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from CHASSELL that stayed in July 2011My granddaughter loved the Waterpark and the pool! The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful and the room was clean and just right! We had a beachfront room and it was awesome having the beach right at our back door! I liked the easy access to the nearby hotels that shared breakfast areas and their waterparks with the Fairview; and the drive to downtown shops and the boats to Mackinac was easy and short! WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY AGAIN...IN FACT WE ARE!These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Berlin that stayed in July 2011Fairview couldn't give me the accomodations I wanted. They sent me to their sister hotel Bridge Vista View. We were given what we asked for and then some. Wesley at Fairview was very nice. The rate stayed the same and our accomodations were awesome. Would definitely go back!These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Oswego that stayed in July 2011Nice Overall stay.

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Columbus that stayed in July 2011The first night we got a courtside room and it had a terrible musty smell and wasn't the nicest. The next two nights we stayed in a beachfront room. It was very clean and nice wasn't modern but found that to be true and part of the charm of the entire area. I would sty here again.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from CLINTON TWP that stayed in July 2011Perfect location, nice beach, clean rooms, helpful at desk. Little walk to indoor water park, beds need updating,no elevator. We did have a great time and loved the short walk to all the stores in town. Breakfast was in blg next door. We would go back again, just wouldn't want third floor. To hard to take all the luggage up.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Three Rivers that stayed in June 2011Every thing was excellent. The hotel shares a room for complementary breakfast with one next door. The girl at the desk did not make that clear to us where it was at. (unusual arrangement) I figured it out the 2nd morning. We enjoyed our little veranda with a view of the beach.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Iron Mountain that stayed in June 2011Rates were quite reasonable.
