Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Kim from Xenia stayed in July 2025The room was nice and clean. The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the waterfront balcony and easy walk to the ferry. The toilet was loose. My husband tightened down the bolt. Breakfast was ok, not as good as other hotels where we've stayed (shorter hours, dining area had lots of room, but kinda dark, not as much variety).These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Denise from Town And Country stayed in August 2025Great location, close to ferries and Starbucks. Pleasant staff. Recommendations: Dont have carpet in the rooms due to challenges keeping clean/sanitized between guests. Toilet in our room (118) was loose. Vanity in bathroom needs to be raised in height (is not an ADA room so should be allowed).These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Misty from Wheatfield stayed in July 2025The location was really awesome. It was a great view with the balcony. We had to call to get internet because we weren't given that information at check in. Also, the breakfast was a little off. I had the eggs and they were leaving an unpleasant coating in my mouth. It was not a huge deal, though- we would definitely stay again!These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Janetta from Hamilton stayed in June 2025The view was beautiful and the room was comfortable. The bathtub was clean but scarred. Some of the fixtures need to be updated or replaced. One of the picture frames was badly broken. Breakfast was good and provided lots of choices.This hotel is conveniently located, a very short walk to Arnold Transit Ferry to Mackinac Island. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Michelle at the front desk and our housekeeper, Rickel.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Caroline from Lake Orion stayed in August 2025Very friendly, helpful staff! Rooms clean.Breakfast-average, short hours. Check-in time at 4pm didn't like, would be grateful if that could be earlier, maybe 2 pm. Location was convenient. Price, ok, compared to other places. Beach area behind hotel very stinky.The city is obviously a huge tourist spot but I'm sure difficult for the average family to afford.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|
Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Kevin from Schaumburg stayed in August 2025Overall it is a nice property with clean rooms. This is the second time I stayed there, was on motorcycle trips both times.The issue I ran into was that a few of us in our group got checked in and given keys only to find that the rooms were not cleaned yet. I did get a call earlier that day from the front desk asking when our aprroximate arrival time would be and I said between 3:30 and 4:00. We got checked in after waiting about 30 minutes, there were quite a few people checking in at the same time. It seems like there is communication problems between the front desk and the cleaning people preparing the rooms since when I went to my room and it was in the process of being cleaned the housekeeper told me that she did not tell the front desk that the room was clean.Again overall good stay I just think there needs to be a better system in place so guests aren't walking into a dirty room or one that is in the process of being cleaned.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|
Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Paula from Cape Girardeau stayed in May 2025Our check in was smooth and easy, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that our lakefront two queen beds room was more of a suite. So, we actually landed a better layout than what we actually booked. We did take advantage of the included breakfast offerings a couple of mornings just to get us the door. You might like it if you are budge minded.(We prefer stronger coffee, healthier and more flavorful options.) The internet was a bit quirky, but we were able to use it most of the time. All in all it was comfortable enough and a good nights rest for the 4 nights we stayed. The staff was friendly and professional.These comments are from a verified stay2 people found this helpful.

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Jennifer from 48173 stayed in August 2018We had a great time and it was a beautiful view. I would have to say that the breakfast was disappointing. Way too crowded and running out of food. I think the breakfast area was way under staffed. It would be nice to also change up the menu. The same stuff everyday was a little boring.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Rosalyn from Rockville stayed in July 2025The pool should open at 9:00 am since the checkout time is 11:00 am. One of the front desk personnel was a bit snippy when I asked to open the pool door at 10:00 AM. Since the pool opens at 10:00 AM, it shoud have already been open.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw CityHamilton Inn Select Beachfront Michelle from Menasha stayed in July 2025Room was ok; great view. But, we didnt have a fridge or microwave in our room; which most hotels have now. Left my beach towel behind, & the lady at the front desk was not very helpful about getting it back to me; called 3 times, and came back to ask about it, & in the end, they said they couldnt find it. Wasnt an expensive towel or anything, just her attitude, like she really didnt care if I got it back or not.These comments are from a verified stayDid you find this helpful?|Traveler Reviews (51-100 of 5469)We welcome your reviews.
