Hampton Inn by Hilton St Ignace Lakefront Mackinac

Great hampton inn. One of the best I have stayed in. Very new building. Great view , roof top patio with nice seating. FYI really no beach.

The views from this hotel are amazing. Just make sure they give you an odd numbered room as those are the ones that face the water. Hotel was almost like new on the inside. Outdoor hot tub looking over the lake. Full bar and great breakfast. Only concern is all their waffle irons were out of service. Kinda took a favorite off the menu for my breakfast. Lisa at the front desk was amazing and helped arrange a shuttle to the Shepler’s dock.

As part of our 50th wedding anniversary---retracing our honeymoon trip, we stayed here for 6 nights; using it as a base for revisiting Mackinac Island, and the surrounding mainland. This relatively new facility is clean, well-maintained and wonderfully located. The Lake views from the lobby, bar, outdoor patio, breakfast area are magnificent. Our check-in was welcoming and efficient; with a special thank-you to Lisa, who combined our two reservations into one seamless, lakeside, stay. Our Lake view room was comfortable and spacious; providing a wonderful retreat throughout our visit. (The only real annoyance we had, was faced by everyone else in the local & surrounding area: swarms of midges. We were unable to enjoy our balcony during our visit, due to the infestation; something shared lakeside for miles.) The comp breakfast was very good; with a nice selection of items from which to choose. Overall, the staff did a great job in keeping the food items supplied, and eating areas clean. (With one consideration: before next year's midge invasion, invest in a little Duck-vac. Then right before opening breakfast; take literally 3-4 minutes, and vacuum up the dead midges on the inside window sills, by the tables. It would make the meal, and amazing views even more satisfying.) The hotel's all-day coffee service is a nice feature; which we used daily. Also, access to the ferry shuttle; is a convenient, and economical service. The exercise area is well designed; and the arcade room is like a miniature Dave & Busters. There was one other issue; that of the light on the room's balcony staying on all night, and cannot be shut off. As stated, the midges kept us inside; but once they're gone, one would be unable to enjoy night views of the sky, Lake, Mackinac Island, etc. (even with them, we couldn't see anything at night through our balcony doors, other than the outside chairs). This seems like a sad waste of one of the real assets of this location....the views. Besides that, our stay here was exceptional; and we very much are looking forward to a return visit.
