Fairview Beachfront Inn Thomas from Petersburg stayed in September 2014

Not the newest or most lavish hotel in the area, but very clean, nice location, beautiful view, GREAT breakfast, and access to multiple water parks for the kids. Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating. This was our second time staying at Fairview and it will definitely not be our last.

Fairview Beachfront Inn chris from Gobles stayed in September 2014

We had a nice visit! Found out about a few nice surprises after we checked in. Huge hot tub in the "waterpark" area. Staff was very nice! Would go back again. If there was a negative..it would be the walls seem to be very thin, but the time of year we went it wasn't a major issue.

Blue Water Beachfront Hotel
Fairview Beachfront Inn Mike from Toronto stayed in August 2014

The Price is good. It is convnenient. Very close to the highway and not far from the ferry either. The rooms are a little aged but they are clean. It is right on the beach so it is convenient if you wish to have a sun bath after your activities. It is facing East so you may see the sun rise from the sea level which is quite a nice view. The breakfast is shared with the motel next door and is above average. There is also a nice restaurant (Blue Water Grill & Bar) just opposite to the motel. There is a mini water park inside the facility mainly for the kids. The Pool is relatively small and there is no hot tub. Good value overall. Perfect if you wish to go to the Mackinac Island for a day trip.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Patrick from Decatur stayed in July 2014

It would have been better if there was an elevator. The breakfast was exactly the same every day and the advertisement overstated it. The beach area needs some work. The "water park" was also way overstated in the advertising. The room was reasonably clean. Overall a good value for the price.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Mary from Southgate stayed in July 2014

The room was so clean, and the view was just wonderful. We watched the sunrise each morning. The staff was so helpful as well. My daughter had a fall on the Island and broke her leg. The gentleman in the office made arrangements to return the wheel chair to the Island medical center for us. Just all an all a great motel.

Wonderful view! Excellent price for a room for a family of 5 with lakefront balcony. Clean! Good customer service!! I loved that we could have a bonfire on the beach and just walk back to our room!!! Small negatives: no elevator and real key (not the key card). Would (and have) recommend this hotel!

Fairview Beachfront Inn Mark from Fredericksburg stayed in June 2014

The perfect room for our stay. It was clean , comfortable , and quiet. The staff was first rate. We had a problem with our T.V. and the maintenance guys were there in no time , and worked diligently until it was fixed. We would love to come back to Mackinaw City and stay in the same hotel and the same room every time. And the breakfasts were outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fairview Beachfront Inn Ryan from Lansing stayed in October 2013

Just before our trip in October, I received a phone call to inform me that the Fairview Beachfront Inn had to close down early due to issues. I was informed that we had been moved to Bridge Vista Beach Hotel, where we had stayed last year. When we checked in, we were informed that we had been complimentarily upgraded to a suite. We were very appriecitive of the generosity of the hotel. We love coming up to Mackinac/Mackinaw, and we will continue to come up and reserve through the Chamber of Tourism.
