Book this place thinking I was getting a cabin turned out to be a room. The area was very dark and felt unsafe at night. When I entered the room none of the lights worked except for the bathroom light and the tv was on. It was about midnight when we got there and we instantly left to find another place to stay.

We filed a complaint with our card company. The motel smelt moldy and musty. People was checking in and coming back and requesting a refund. The rooms were moldy and had bugs, bed bugs. The hostess quit on the spot and the owners came rushing in there trying to fix it. Our card company will be conta ting you.

Everything was broken. All lampshades were broken and falling off. Many outlet covers were broken and the outlet did not work. TV got zero stations. Tub had two holes in it, and the balcony seemed like if may fall to the ground. Siding of the building was in awful condition and was rotting everywhere. Amenities. That wee listed were non existent— no arcade, and no waterpark passes.

There is no TV remote in our room. One side of the electrical panel did not work. The bedding was dirty on one of the beds. The bedspread look like it had mold, and it was paint. The property outside was not very clean. It was trash along the beach area. The people upstairs above us were loud and noisy all night and we didn’t get any sleep. It was no phone or anybody at the hotel to call in case of emergency or to get them to stop being so loud and noisy.. There was no blow dryer in the room and no coffee pot. This was not acceptable in my book especially for the price

Mixed bag, we ended up needing to switch rooms, as the one I booked had plumbing issues ( not blaming the hotel, these things happen ). They put us in a better room, for the same rate, which was very appreciated. The only downside was this room was not cleaned fully prior to us getting in. The hotel manager said the cleaning crew would come by to finish cleaning. They never did. It seemed to me that they may have been understaffed. We ended up finishing the cleaning of the room ourselves. We did have to move the used vacuum out of the room so it was not in the way. But these were all fairly minor inconveniences. The beach that the hotel is situated on is very clean, however, like most beaches in Mackinaw City is pretty shallow. The pool and hot tub, while I did not personally go into, seemed to be fine from the people in my party that did use them. Do note this hotel does not seem to offer a breakfast, we ended up eating out on our excursions so we would not have partaken anyway. Overall, I would probably stay again. Just be mindful that this is not a "resort" hotel but rather a more basic accommodation. And it suits that niche perfectly fine.
