6 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelGreat Mackinaw Beachfront HotelHotel Customer from Lonoke that stayed in September 2023The place is poorly managed and very confusing since the front desk help is at another hotel. I had three rooms rented and each one had something broken/wrong with it. With that said, the staff at the other hotel and the handyman were nice and helpful. My personal room had a broken toilet seat. When I sat down on the toilet, I fell off and the seat was in six pieces. When I looked up while on the floor, there was a new one still in the box leaning against the sink. My carpet was also damp the entire time. The view from balcony and beach was great. We had a fire on the beach all three nights.These comments are from a verified stay

2 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelGreat Mackinaw Beachfront HotelHotel Customer from Manitowoc that stayed in September 2023Lights didn't work with switches, no hot water at sink. had to run water for over 5 minutes before any hot water in the shower, carpeting is absolutely gross. Woke up in morning with stuffed heads probably due to mold in rooms. Bathroom was not clean lots of dirt in corners. Premises needs updating before we would stay again.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelGreat Mackinaw Beachfront HotelHotel Customer from Bay City that stayed in August 2023VERY under staffed ! Reservation made with one hotel was handled by the one next door- no maid service, no housekeeping, we had to get our own clean towels! The water was SO hot you could get scalded! The room itself was dated but pleasant and looked out on the water !These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Dayton that stayed in September 2021It is an older property but our room was very satisfactory. We enjoyed being right on the lakefront. It was a little inconvenient that the office at the Fairview was not open so we had to go to the office at the Quality Inn next door. The breakfast was very disappointing. The staff was helpful in booking discount tickets to various attractions.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelGreat Mackinaw Beachfront HotelHotel Customer from Rives Junction that stayed in August 2023Yes I would recommend for a low cost room. It was not plush and fancy and was ok to spend 1 nite. The room was clean with no extras. . A cup to make the coffee would of been nice. Next time, I will forget the beach front and find a room elsewhere.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelGreat Mackinaw Beachfront HotelHotel Customer from Bowie that stayed in July 2023Hotel changed its name from Grand to Great, but didnt notify us, made it a little hard to find. No plug outlets available in room, because appliances took them all. We were given a key for room 201, ground level, but not told those rooms are down a short stairs with no sign for where they are. Had to return to desk next door to ask directions to find room.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from New Ulm that stayed in August 2021The views were absolutely amazing. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time. The hotel could use a little TLC. I think they may of been a little understaffed. The Wi-Fi was none but it gave us some time to unplug. Over all I would stay there again. The beach and the view and proximity to everything won us over.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Eaton Rapids that stayed in August 2020The room was clean and the view of the lake was amazing. Pool stayed open later than normal, but no water park and breakfast because of covid. My only 2 complaints would be: 1. Asked to check in early which most hotels will allow if the room has been cleaned or was not rented out the night before and 2. Asked if we could pay additional for a 2 hour later check out. Both of the answers were no. Stated sorry check in is at 4 and check put is at 11 as we have a busy week lined up as we are booked. Other than that, everything was good and I would probably stay there again.These comments are from a verified stay

8 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from South Lyon that stayed in August 2020Well, it didn’t start out well. The receptionist seemed to have an attitude. We tried to check in at 2 and she was having no part of that. The rooms were clean, but could use a little updating. Our view was so beautiful. The beach was nice and it was great for walking to the pier and restaurants. The location was great.These comments are from a verified stay

10 out of 10Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront InnHotel Customer from Winamac that stayed in October 2019We were very pleased with our stay. Because we were late in the season, the manager upgraded us to a lake view at no extra charge. They were great with recommendations and even made arrangements with the hotel next door to cover for their temporary mechanical problem with the pool.These comments are from a verified stay
