Top Downtown Mackinac Island Hotel Reviews

Lake View Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was very friendly and the rooms was very clean the beds were comfy."

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

8/10 Good

"We liked the price and the cleanliness of the room. If you’re looking for fancy this is not it but if you just need a clean place to stay so you can get to Mackinac island then we loved it. It’s right next door to the ferry they give you discounts on all kinds of things it’s a super convenient location. The beach part was clean too and the water beautiful so it suited our needs perfectly. The staff were outstanding!"

Breakers Resort & Beach Bar

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are really friendly and helpful. The concierge gave me helpful advice about the ferry and called for the shuttle when the time came. I ate at the onsite restaurant during my stay and the food was really good. The wait for a table was short or not at all. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the beach view was grand. The only recommendation I have is the room needs a luggage rack."
