"Everyone was helpful and very friendly. Rooms were clean, service was good, atmosphere was very pleasant. Pool water was not real cold!!!! Balcony views were nice."

"Very nice hotel with a friendly staff. It was clean. Quiet. Patio screen could have used some repair. Great location to watch the boats going to and from the island. Very nice location to walk downtown so no need to drive. Have stayed there before and will again."

"The Hamilton inn was SPECTACULAR!! Clean, convenient, and all of the staff members we encountered were friendly and helpful!! I would give this place 100 stars! I will definitely be back."

"I have stayed at this hotel many times thru the years. The location is great and as a rule the rooms are clean. During my initial check in, the staff were not as friendly as in the past and perhaps they were just busy because everyone was very helpful and friendly during the remainder of our stay."

"Everything was great except our toilet was loose and started leaking."

"The location of the room on the area as well as the property were both very accessible. The breakfast impression was, well, not good. So mcdonald\'s is across the to bridge and made a great lunch for the kids. The donut shop up the road next to a tattoo shop was a life saver for the rest of the needed breakfasts. The room and accommodations along with the pool was phenomenal"

"Great location! Room could have been a bit cleaner."

"Hotel showed age and wear, but was very comfortable and a bargain!"

"Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Some of breakfast which should have been warm was cold. Thin walls. Could hear snoring next door."

"Relaxing and peaceful!"

"Great location. Pet friendly."

"The location is AWESOME! The room needs renovating. The water park was disappointing,. but the water was WARM. Definitely a plus when travelling with kids. The staff was invariably friendly and helpful. Pizza delivery to the room was a godsend at the end of a long travel day. The Arnold Line shuttle was terrific! It made getting to the Island a snap. Very nice beach. Adjoining rooms provided a perfect balance between privacy and supervision for our group of 7."

"Rooms were clean; no real amenitiesHad problem checking in with promised room not ready but clerk took care of that fairly quicklyLocation was goodValue was okay for the price we paid"

"Clean"

"Clean, beautiful room and walking distance of shopping and restaurants. The price of room was very affordable. Would differently stay there again."

"Our family of 10 comes to the island every year. We always enjoy our stay."

"Location close to the Arnold Ferry dock was very convenient to us."

"Very pleasant stay. Comfortable room. Good location. Nice amenities ."

"Good location, staff does a very good job."

"The staff was efficient and very friendly! The hotel was busy, and the staff stayed on top of cleaning the rooms well!"

"Nice clean hotel room with a very reasonable price"

"Great location, friendly staff, reasonable rates, elevator location was not ideal"

"Serving breakfast next door is a problem when it rains (which it did in my stay)."

"Good size, clean room with desk and refrigerator. General use microwave in an oceanfront room with tables on the ground floor. Good water pressure and hot water. Only negative is the thin walls - could hear the conversation and snoring in the adjacent room. Turned on air conditioner to block out the noise. Included basic breakfast is in the Hamilton lodge next door. Easy check in and polite service."

"Nice room. Nice view. Breakfast was a wonderful surprise. We stay here every year on our way to the UP."

"Booked a 2-night stay for a trip with my sister. Enjoyed having morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the beach. Great location; we walked to the ferry. Rooms were clean. The thermostat and the feels-like temp in the room didnt match, but it wasnt really a problem. The hotel staff were great! Selena checked us in and answered questions for us, including giving us advice on dinner and traveling to the island. The other staff members we came across were also friendly and helpful. This was my first time staying at Beach and Bay, but I plan to stay again."

"Room was old, front desk staff we\'re ok, not very welcoming to help. Room needed repairs. Nice view. Overall it was just ok."

"Super 8 is a great place. Great location! Staff is awesome!"

"Very nice staff, great 3 star hotel.. Will stay again"

"It was a great view of the beach. The staff was super friendly. The room was updated but the bathroom could use some work. Just looked dated. Everything functioned as it should and really have no complaints. It was well worth the money and in walking distance to everything. I would stay here again."

"The hotel is in a beautiful location, on the beach of lake Huron with wonderful views. Directly next to the pier for the island ferry. Not far from the downtown area, had to drive. The room was nice but dated. When we arrived the microwave and refridgerator were not working, called the front desk and they replaced both appliances. Good coffee!"

"Beautiful view, good beds. Clean but the bathroom could really use an update"

"Convenient location ! Like to be by the water, close to ferries going out Room is great !"

"The room wasn\'t as nice as pictures indicated- there were some things broken, and it smelled a little funky. The refrigerator leaked. The AC was incredibly loud and blew directly onto one side of the bed so we had to turn it off at night so he wouldn\'t freeze and the noise wouldn\'t keep us awake.the view was nice though."

"Clean and comfortable"

"The room was clean and home-y. Nothing fancy, but perfectly acceptable. We had everything we needed and the view was fantastic. Mackinac is such a great place to learn, enjoy and relax."

"Location Location location. Personalized service."

"The location was ideal. Right on the beach.The cottage was very clean. It was dog friendly. It was very cozy and charming!!!Room had a mini fridge and microwave.Sink and counter. Also table and chairs.No kitchen utensils or dinnerware."

"Super nice and clean. Martin was great!!! Good job!!!"

"This was our second visit to Blue Water and we absolutely love it. Trish at the front desk is amazing and so friendly and helpful. The only reason I gave an 8 rating was the lack of housekeeping. We were there 5 nights and never received clean towels (although I was able to get them from the front desk and they were very apologetic). We also never had our floors swept or beds made. I know we were put down for service at least twice by the front desk, so this was a total housekeeping fail. Other than that, we will definitely be back."

"Good stay, hotel is definitely making improvements! Trish at the front desk keeps us coming back. We had a slight issue with our TVs when we were there but it was taken care of the following day. I enjoyed my room, it was clean.I would say I considered it a value stay for the price and no breakfast provided, I typically go out anyway Amenities were sufficient, it would be stellar if the hotel had its own hot tub on site along with improvements to the pool"

"Updated room with a veiw. Some of the outlets didnt work and the door to the balcony didnt open all the way without force. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Water parks are included but mostly run down or not working at all. Very clean and relaxing though."

"The room was a little worn. The bed was a little firm for my taste. The bathroom and fixtures were very outdated. Lighting in the bathroom was awful. Updating the light would help, looked like a 70s throwback. The peeling wallpaper throughout the room was a turnoff. Also, we came during midge (little mosquito like bugs) season so we spent 30 minutes killing all of the ones in our room the first night. The floors were nice having been recently redone as well as the room furniture. The atmosphere was friendly and the location was perfect."

"Hotel was very nice. I would have given it five stars if our room was in the main hotel. Felt disconnected with our room in the Carriage House."

"My recent stay at BaySide Hotel was excellent. The front desk receptionists were professional, friendly, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The hotel was very clean and had a great atmosphere, making our stay enjoyable and comfortable.The waterpark was well-maintained, and we appreciated that towels were readily available for all swimmers. One of the main reasons we enjoy staying at this hotel is the staff. Many of the employees are familiar faces, and they always make us feel at home during our visits.Because of the outstanding customer service, clean facilities, and welcoming environment, I highly recommend BaySide Hotel to my friends and family. We look forward to staying here again."

"Friendly staff close to everything"

"My kids and I had a phenomenal stay at Bayside Hotel of Mackinac this last weekend. The front desk lady was friendly, kind and so helpful with our questions and few needs. Our room was clean, our beds comfortable, the location perfect and my kids especially loved their time in the waterpark. We enjoyed exploring the city and nearby Wilderness State Park, and learning about the history of the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse during the day(s). And topping it all off, the fireworks display (that we just had to go to the front of the hotel to see) was the perfect ending to our stay. Id rate it 100/10 if I could. We will definitely return for more Mackinaw City and Bayside Hotel fun!!"

"Good value convenient location"

"The TV didn\'t work the room wasn\'t very clean."

"Although this hotel is a little outdated we have been staying there every year for over 30 years. If we ever need anything the front desk is very accommodating. This year we had the pleasure of meeting Marc the manager there. He was so pleasant and really made us feel welcomed. Can\'t wait to return next year for our yearly trip and hope Marc is still there."

"Great location. Room very clean and well appointed. Zach, Manager, is wonderful. Always available for assistance and very knowledgeable regarding things to do and see."

"Great hospitality great food."

"Beautiful view"

"Location was easy to access and close to everything. Hotel is a little dated but honestly that fits the great price. If you are expecting luxury and amenities this isnt the place for you. That being said the room was clean, very well stocked, and very spacious. The pool was close by and not busy. The hotel was quiet. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay again. If value and a solid place to stay are on your list this is the place. Beds appeared to be new. We had read some reviews about bugs and that was not a problem. There was absolutely no issue with our room at all. Everything was clean and functional."

"Great rate! Good location. Friendly office staff. Rooms are dated looking but clean and comfortable. Starlight Budget Inn is a fine place to get a good night\'s sleep at a good price and then head out during the day to enjoy northern Michigan\'s beauty."

"This is a no frills motel but the room was clean and comfortable we had a patio door to outside which was nice to relax on after a long motorcycle ride."

"Excellent with an excellent price."

"Good accommodations for the price."

"Staff was wonderful rooms were spotless clean and it was very enjoyable because it was nice and quiet. Also, I would recommend this to anyone what I did like is that there was no carpeting in the room that told me right there that we had a clean room because carpets I dont care where you go are filthy."

"Everything was incredible, newly renovated room, employees were cool to talk to, great location right by st ignace for the car show. Only slight issue was difficulty finding parking but thats to be expected with all the car show traffic."

"Quiet, mostly restful, comfortable. At the room rate we paid we were surprised to learn our accommodations included a private balcony overlooking the strait. There were a few noisy guests with a dog downstairs but we attempted to mask the noise using the in room fan. Overall we were pleased with our stay."

"The room was pretty basic, but the view I had was first class."

"The hotel was fine but the most extraordinary thing was the lady on the reception. She was a great human being and helped me and my family immensely, in every way she could. Unfortunately doesn\'t her name but wanted to give a very big shout out for something specifically that she did for us. The room that I booked in this hotel was having just a queen bed which was a mistake to book and which understandably couldn\'t accommodate all my family (five persons, two adults and 3 kids). When I went inside and noticed how small it was I went back to her and informed that I didn\'t realize that the room would be so small for which she replied that she herself was surprised why I chose such a small room. I explained that it was my mistake and I didn\'t pay too much attention while I was making reservation. That nice lady without asking me upgraded to a bigger room and made this whole experience so awesome. Thanks to her."

"Motel was fairly clean. Beds were decently comfortable. Bathroom was spotless which was a huge bonus. Only complaint was it was slightly musty which is to be expected as Im sure theyre shut down for a majority of the year due to winter. But overall it was pretty good. However, there is access to the 2 water parks in the town and I DO NOT recommend either one. Went to check out both and they are both not only dated but the water at both was cloudy and dingy looking. You could not see your feet if you were brave enough to go in the water. The emerald cove one said it had waterslides which it did but they were blocked off and the pool beneath them was empty and gross looking. Also the lazy river was also cloudy and yellowish brown looking. I wouldnt let my child in either one especially since I wouldnt venture into either one as well. Mind you, we stayed the first weekend in August so you should think that they would be up to date and busy."

"Very cleanGreat location for the ferry and walking to downtown.Might need some new lampshades on the big lights.No hair dryer?"

"Very nice accommodations. The room was clean, staff was friendly and a beautiful view of the room."

"We were looking for a place to sleep. Not hang out in the room. It fit our needs perfectly. They are obviously remodeling and have not finished. At this point it just needs the finishing touches. Mirror in the bathroom & some shelves in there. Will definitely stay again!"

"Clean rooms. nice staff"

"Clean Quiet Close cheap"

"Pool House/Pool are bad. Doors to the pool house we couldnt get open. Ton of construction - not their fault, difficult to navigate accessing the property, property wasnt forecoming amenities information. Reactive to maintenance issues. For the price the facility/room it was fine. Now Location on the water was a dream. And I was able to just block out everything else and watch the sunset!"

"Friendly staff, comfortable room and reasonable price. Easy to walk to dine, shop and to the ferry. Able to purchase ferry & Fort tickets at the hotel so we were ready for a nice visit to the island."

"Bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were very lumpy.Room was great otherwise."

"More cleaning is necessary on top of regular. Big contrast between vacuumed areas and not vacuumed corners. Good location and accessible ."

"Perfect location. Room was older but clean. Would stay there again."

"Friendly staff and clean room. Great view of brdge and enjoyed watching sunrise"

"The room was very large and comfortable It had easy access to the lake as well as a nice view of the bridge"

"We truly enjoyed our stay! Close enough to walk to everything we wanted to see and do in Mackinaw City. Our cabin was clean, comfortable and quiet. Definitely recommend and will stay here on our next trip north!"

"The Cabins are located within walking distance to shops and restaurants up and down the main thoroughfare. My friend and I chose one of the free-standing 2 bedroom/2 tv cabins as it provided privacy for both of us. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was well stocked. We would definitely stay again!"

"Nice cabin vibe. Clean, and comfortable. Had a good time and would stay there again."
