Comfort Inn Lakeside Nena from Farmington Hills stayed in June 2011

The front desk was very accomodating when they switched our reservation so we could have the two reserved rooms to be next to each other. They also allowed for a later checkout time (although we didn't need it) and it was appreciated. Housekeeping was also excellent. They responded immediately to our needs (extra towels, etc.) and our rooms were cleaned perfectly in spite of the mess we made (thank you Jackie!). We will definitely be back...

Comfort Inn Lakeside Keith from Battle Creek stayed in June 2011

While our stay was short in your beautiful community, the folks at the Comfort Inn Lakeside made the stay very comfortable. Compliments go to the breakfast food staff. Excellent. The package deal that we got for the boat to the island and the carriage tour worked out perfect. It was nice to be able to get a package and pay one price to one location. Cudos also to the motel for shipping our pillows back to us in a very timely fashion. We will be back.

Comfort Inn Lakeside Garry from Shiloh stayed in June 2011

Everything about hotel was great. But after a nine hour ride on a motorcycle, we had to stand in the hall for 15 minutes and wait for our room to finish being cleaned. If we can check in at 4:00, our room ought to be ready by then. Every staff member we were in contact with was very friendly! Would be REALLY nice if you could walk right onto the beach from the tiny balcony (if you're on the ground floor of course).

Comfort Inn Lakeside Kristie from Cadillac stayed in June 2011

I got upgraded to a lakeside room for a minimal amount. The view was amazing and so was the service. My kids loved that we were able to go to the 2 indoor waterparks. I will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family and we look forward to staying there again.

Comfort Inn Lakeside Neil from Midland stayed in June 2011

Being in Mackinaw was a wonderful experience. And having a good, clean hotel to come home to was great! We were within walking distance to anything we wanted to do. The people at the hotel were very nice! We got in the hot tub every night. The last night, it was not very hot but if that is the only thing I can complain about, I would say the Comfort Inn was GREAT! Thank you Mackinaw!

The property is a bit old. However, the price was very good, and the location is also good, so I give a higher rating than I might otherwise.

Comfort Inn Lakeside Marcia from Leo stayed in June 2011

We were given an upgraded room on the water with a balcony for $5. That was a fun treat since I was traveling with my mother and she so enjoyed the view. We felt very blessed to be there. The breakfast was great and the breakfast hostess was friendly and helpful. We once again had a great time in your city.

Comfort Inn Lakeside William W from Saginaw stayed in June 2011

I stayed there during the Big Mac Shoreline tour this Spring. I had my grandson and granddaughter eith me. We enjoyed our stay and the office and room staff treated us very well. We will stay there again. If I had to offer a criticism, I would say that the rain on Saturday morning made the breakfast very crouded as no one could sit outside.

Comfort Inn Lakeside Wendy from Flint stayed in June 2011

We enjoyed our stay in your hotel tremendously! We requested a ground floor room and, not only did we get that, but it was right next to the pool entrance as well as the lobby. The air conditioner didn't work our first night there, so we left a note for the maid, explaining that fact. When we came back to our room later that night, there was a whole new air conditioning unit in our room, cooling things off nicely! The continental breakfast on the beach front was a nice touch! We will definitely be thating there next year!

Comfort Inn Lakeside Tony from Ann Arbor stayed in May 2011

Positives: customer service, beachfront view, large variety of breakfast food Negatives: A lot of nats and bugs flying around makes it hard to go outside and enjoy the view. But this would affect every hotel at Mackinac.

Comfort Inn Lakeside Suzanne from North Saint Paul stayed in May 2011

We had a very nice room on the ground floor over the Memorial weekend. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Not very sound proof though. We had kids jumping and running in the room above us and at night I could hear snoring from one of the adjoining rooms. The receptionsts were very helpful and the continental breakfast was a bonus, lots of variety. Loved the location and the sandy beaches. We would definately come visit again.

Comfort Inn Lakeside Kent from Otsego stayed in September 2010

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean. I liked the location of the hotel - on the lakeshore and within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, and the ferries. The room for the continental breakfast was too small for the number of people I encountered, and I was not impressed with the breakfast food offered.

Comfort Inn Lakeside David from Clarkston stayed in May 2011

Desk reception was cheerful and efficient. Room was clean and had one of the quiter HVAC units I've experienced. Lots of hot water in the morning for showers. Breakfast was next door in the Hamilton was good if lacking a bit in variety. Ferry tickets were at the desk upon check in (I booked them with the room). Very convenient to the ferry docks and town for shopping and dining. I'll stay here again next time.

Comfort Inn Lakeside Rebecca from Ossian stayed in May 2011

We were originally assigned to a room on the second floor. I asked about elevators and was given directions on taking the elevator up. Before we turned to leave to go to our room from the registration area, The manager very kindly gave us a first floor room. I had explained that I had a bad knee and was having trouble walking let unlone going up and down stairs. I feel the accomadations were great and so were the people at the desk. I would stay there again. The food was great also. Thanks

Comfort Inn Lakeside Melissa from Stanton stayed in May 2011

The staff at this hotel stand out to me as very friendly and happy people! I was impressed at the room decor and the lake side view was wonderful. Our friends who stayed down the street visited our room told us they paid more than we did and would have preferred staying at the Comfort Inn Lakeside. The breakfast galley has slightly smaller seating inside than I am used to... BUT you had the option of enjoying the seating outside on their inviting patio as well.

Comfort Inn Lakeside Amy from Kalamazoo stayed in May 2011

After a brief snafu where we tried to get into the wrong room because the Comfort Inn adjoins another hotel, we got the lowdown from the owner on how to get a free hot breakfast the next morning. That was great. The room was adequate, beds comfy.

Comfort Inn Lakeside Jeannette from Jackson stayed in October 2010

This is my second stay at this hotel. Both times the rooms were very clean and did not have a musty smell. The breakfast area, while small, was clean and there was just enough variety for a nice breakfast. The staff at the front desk, both checking in and checking out were very friendly (without being overly-so). I sent my daughter in to get a brochure for Whitefish Point and there were none. One of the staff actually came out to my car to tell me where he had seen some a couple of days prior. To me, in this day and age, is exceptional. Not many people in the service business really "know" how to service the customer. Usually it is "no, we don't have any" and leave it at that. I would (and have) recommended this hotel and plan to stay again upon my return. My only complaint is that the matress was a little saggy in the middle. Nothing huge, I'm just used to a firmer matress.
