This is actually one of three properties in a row that all operate out of the Thunderbird. You don’t know until you walk up to the office and see the sign on the door. When booking, it says that it doesn’t have a front desk and someone will come out to meet you. Disregard that. The accommodations are fine for the price. The only true gripe I have is the sheets were put on wrong. Two flat sheets laid across the bed, leaving bare mattress open at the foot. This was covered by folded blankets meaning your and everyone else’s bare feet were on the mattress under a very warm blanket. At check out, you’d assume you would go back to the office at the Thunderbird. If it’s before 8am, you’ll see a note saying to just leave the key in the hotel room. Only one of the pools were open; it was indoors. The outdoor pool was closed until further notice (found out via note on the gate) and the indoor jacuzzi was emptied and in a state of disrepair. Overall, for a place to sleep, 3/5. Staff was nice and courteous. Gave us coupons for local businesses and discounted tickets to the ferry.

Old, run down property, room still has very old carpet, we found 2 bugs inside, thankfully not bedbugs. Bedspreads stained. Staff very polite and friendly, the most positive thing about the motel. Someone outside our room smoking pot. Would not return

This property is the "old-fashion" style of the motels where one can drive up to the office to check in, and then park at the door of your room. It's convenient, not far off the interstate and very near the downtown without being in the hub-bub of its busy-ness. The grounds are spacious and very well kept. My room was small but sufficient for 1 or 2 people. It was a bit of a mishmash of furniture which is the usual for an older motor inn, but all in great shape, very clean and had a microwave, small fridge, coffee maker and nice toiletries. The check-in was very smooth; the gentleman at the desk was warm and welcoming, and had some good recommendations. Dollar for dollar in Mackinaw City, at this time of peak tourist travel, this property is a great value!

What do the pictures not tell you? We had rented three rooms, after a long day on the island. ALL three rooms had mattresses with bloody bed bug remnants, and essentially no sheet. Imagine waking up to this little treat: a revolting mattress with you lying right on it. And, no, the hotel would not refund our money. Zero stars. Do not recommend.
