10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is located at the quieter side of town. It has the amenities of the Mackinac City but without all the traffic and commercial activities there. There are many restaurants around the area, shuttle to island ferry. It's located in front of the lake with daily breakfast included. There are 2 pools, indoor and outdoor. All in all, a very nice quiet stay befitting the ambiance of Mackinac."
