The price was really low. The room was big. The indoor water park was great. My one year old twins, my 5 year son and my husband all had enough to keep them busy and happy there. Want to return.

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center
Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center NIKKI from SAGINAW stayed in August 2011

The price was excellent ($69.00 a night for a beachfront room in a waterpark hotel in the summer), facilities clean, breakfast food plentiful and decent. We had a terrific time. The reasons I gave a "good" as opposed to excellent was that the staff does not seem very friendly (but then, we went to have fun as a family, not make friends with the staff!), and the rooms had empty spaces that would have been great to have a comfy chair for tv watching or reading. Also, we went looking for the little cocktail lounge that was advertised, only to learn that it hadn't been finished? We saw no signs of it anywhere. We would absolutely go back, as it was a perfect place to take kids; in fact, we have already talked about getting extended family to go next summer.

We were greeted with friendly and helpful staff who answered our questions about the areas we planned to visit. The rooms were clean and the waterpark for my grandchildren was a plus. They had alot of fun there. There was a good variety of breadfast foods to choose from in the morning also. We had a very pleasant stay at Bridge Vista Hotel.

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center Charles from Sturgis stayed in August 2011

For the most part, it was a good stay. The only concern we had was the pace of cleaning service; it was slow, with our room not being completed one day until 5 p.m. Otherwise, the staff was very friendly and the room was good.

Rooms were clean; beds were comfortable. Even though the hotel was full of kids, we didn't hear them at night. Breakfast was a little better than the normal free buffet. Water park looked like fun even though we didn't use it.

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center Lisa from Lima stayed in August 2011

The breakfast from 9:00 to 10:00 AM was a bit frustrating as the single staff person was working hard to keep up with the "rush". Guests always wait til the last hour to eat breakfast or sleep in. During that last hour, it would be good to have 2 people serving. I was impressed with how well the woman did to keep up with the demand but this is a management problem.

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center
Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center Kimberly from Hazelwood stayed in July 2011

We loved our room and the staff. However, if you are getting your information about the hotel and what it has to offer from the full page ad in the tourism magazine, be forewarned that much of what it says about the hotel is not on site at the actual hotel. For example, there is no restaurant on site and no outdoor pool or large indoor pool. It is a great value for the price, and our son loved having a room on the beach. Plus, this hotel defintely has the best "water park" for older kids. It was a great place to stay with a child and we truly enjoyed it.

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center Jon from Flushing stayed in August 2011

Our two kids loved the water park. It was a nice size and you could sit in the middle and still see your kids no matter where they were at. It was a little over crowded at times because they do allow guests from other hotels access to it. The room was clean, beds a little uncomfortable. Nice breakfast bar. Hardly enough parking though. We got back from town at 11 pm and got the last parking spot and we had to squeeze in between two other vehicles and all go out through the window. We appreciated that they allowed our small dog to be with us. They have a nice grassy area and beach area out back.

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center john from Brunswick stayed in August 2011

This is a good hotel for a family stay. The accommodations are what you would expect from a 2 star hotel; not luxurious, but clean. What makes this a good place to stay is the staff. They were very welcoming, accommodating, and friendly. The water park is was a huge hit with my kids and the waterfront location is fantastic. I would probably not choose this hotel if I was traveling alone on business, but it is a great place for a family vacation. Mackinaw City is one of the great family destinations in the Summer and I would definitely recommend this hotel for a family vacation.

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center Cindy from Alpha stayed in July 2011

I had resereved our room online, and for some reason, when going to print out confirmation, the computer shut down, before I even wrote down the confirmation #. Later when I called the property direct to confirm, they had our reservation, but did not have the room type we requested. Instead, they upgraded us to a larger room, at no extra charge and also included a rollaway at no extra charge for our 2nd child. They also were helpful with anything that we asked for. Kudos to the hotel and the staff. Great people. Great Job!

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center ted from Fenton stayed in July 2011

They need some updated carpet in the hallways. The hotel, however, was great. Front desk personnel were friendly and efficient. I must say "hats off" to Terry, the breakfast morning employee. She ran an efficient and very nice breakfast for the hotel guests. I would say she was exceptional at her job. Very friendly and personable.

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center Karen Lintemuth from Stafford stayed in July 2011

Hotel Staff was very friendly and outgoing to make our stay good. Rooms were decent but not great and our balcony had trash from the prevoius occupants. Wi-Fi was fast if you could get on to it, but they ran out of IP's quickly and you'd have to call the staff to re-set the router; which they did quickly. Breakfast was hot, and pleantiful but not great, seating was limited due to the amount of guests eating at the same time. The view from the lake side rooms is absolutely spectacular. We didnt visit the indoor water park but it looked amazing.

Bridge Vista Beach Hotel & Convention Center Robin from Findlay stayed in July 2011

I enjoyed my stay at Bridge Vista and thought it was a nice hotel. The room was clean and the breakfast was very nice and the pool area was awesome. However, the reason I did not give it an outstanding rating was because of the following: The full-sized beds were not that comfortable, and too cramped; queen size beds would be much better. The breakfast, while really nice, did not offer much variety for guests staying multiple nights. It was the exact same thing every morning. Some changes would have been nice, like switching up the meat; bacon or ham some mornings instead of sausage every morning; some fresh fruit instead of the same canned fruit every day; some different cereals instead of the same three. I will say that the lady who was stocking the breakfast area and cleaning up did a superb job; she was really on the ball and very helpful. While the pool area was awesome, it was too crowded. Allowing other hotels to use it was fine, but it would be nice if the hours were extended to 11:00, the last hour for hotel guests only. Finally, the lobby was very dark, and I felt not very inviting, as were the hallways. However, we were not in the room for much more than sleeping, so it suited our needs just fine.

We had one night we couldn't sleep because it was too noisy, the other night was fine. you can hear your neighbor above you....but it is the same at all hotels really. The pool/waterpark is great. Our kids really enjoyed it. The beach area was nice. you have get a good view of the bridge if you have a waterfront room. The room was probably the cleanest hotel room we ever had! We liked the larger size fridge in the room too.
