Blue Water Beachfront Hotel
Fairview Beachfront Inn Casey from Adrian stayed in August 2016

Had a slight issue when we checked in, our reservation wasn't in the computer system, but there was a paper copy of it. After just a few minutes though we were actually upgraded a room, so it worked out very well. We all loved the beach area, and the pool and splash pad were fun for my kids. Overall our stay was very nice.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Steven from Perrysburg stayed in August 2016

Other than a rude group/ family staying there as well kids were all over the place, loud, rude, and trying to kill the seagulls everyday, Everything was fine. A little pricey when u don't go thru the other hotel finders. But was a great stay.

Fairview Beachfront Inn David from Sterling Heights stayed in July 2016

The employees at check in were very nice. Our room was not yet ready, but they gave us a different room. The room was clean. The beds gave us an ok night sleep. The city is so great we spent very little time in our room anyway.

Blue Water Beachfront Hotel
Fairview Beachfront Inn Danielle from Ypsilanti stayed in July 2016

Amazing! Stayed here over 4th of July. Everything was clean, jacuzzi in room, on the ground floor beach access, quiet, fires on the beach at night, excellent breakfast but on the second day it did run out of most of the food which was disappointing but it was the busiest weekend I've the year so I can't be too upset. Staff were friendly. It wasn't cheap but was cheaper than the rest around. I have absolutely no idea why the other reviews are bad- I almost cancelled because of the reviews but I'm so glad I didn't. We will return- perfect stay. The water park is more like a splash area for toddlers though- nothing that an adult would use. Highly recommended!

Fairview Beachfront Inn Terry from Island Lake stayed in May 2016

Fairview Inn is the best bang for the buck hotel in Mackinaw City. You can get a clean, roomy, beautiful sandy beachfront room with a jacuzzi for considerably less than the adjacent competitors, and free breakfast. I've stayed at this hotel twice, and will not hesitate to go back.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Patricia from Tecumseh stayed in September 2015

The room was clean and had a lovely view. The hotel was very near the ferry, but it far enough away from the center of town that there wasn't too much hustle bustle. Mid-September weekday rates were very reasonable. The breakfast was ok, something to get you going, with adequate protein. If you're wanting fresh fruit, you will want to bring your own.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Jennifer from Caledonia stayed in August 2015

Great value for price - close to everything - clean. Kids loved the waterpark! Wish they would have told me at check in, more about my additional "discounts" and the fact we could have gone to other waterparks - didn't find that out until it was too late to enjoy. Maybe a "welcome packet" of some sort

Fairview Beachfront Inn Jason from Saginaw stayed in July 2015

Jaccuzi suite was freaking awesome. Much better than expected after some of the reviews. So called water park was just a splash park if you are familiar with that term. The hotel hot tub for guests was cold broke and dirty. But we did not come for the water park or hot tub (since we had in room jaccuzi), so we were pleased overall.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Charles from Coldwater stayed in July 2015

No elevator to the fourth floor room. Breakfast did not meet our expectation. However, this was due, in part, to the egg shortage. The room was clean, with a nice view and the service was very good. No complaints, it was a nice stay and worth the money.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Pam from East Lansing stayed in July 2015

My family and I stayed there over the 4th of July. Weekend. I have stayed at other hotels in mackinaw and have never had a complaint. I was a little worried about staying here after reading some of the reviews. Well you can't make everyone happy all the time. When checking in the front desk staff was very friendly and didn't make you wait , they stopped what they were doing to assist guests. The rooms, we had a beach front suit on the 5th floor. It was very comfortable , nice set up, very clean, and very quiet. The balcony was very nice , you couldn't see the room next to you, so very private. We watched the fireworks from the balcony. The pool areas were very clean and warm. The price of the rooms was very reasonable, you could easily pay more for this hotel. We will defiantly stay there again. Thank you.

Great stay with beautiful scenery. Loved the light houses and the Big Mac. Beautiful lakes but you like to froze our northern bones! The midges were a pain too but bearable. We will remember the Mackinaw parasailing for the rest of our lives! Great trip, THANK-YOU!
