Mackinaw Beach & Bay
Mackinaw Beach & Bay Aum from Plymouth stayed in August 2024

It was very clean. The rooms are so well designed that you have separation between king and queen beds. Lake view is so worth it. The shuttle service to the ferry dock is so so convenient. The hotel staff was informative about visiting the island. I do plan on returning to same hotel next time for my trip and I would highly recommend to my friends as well.

Mackinaw Beach & Bay Aaron from Wyoming stayed in July 2024

Mackinaw Beach & Bay was a great place to stay. Needed lodging for a family of 5 and we were able to get a room with a king, queen, and a sofa bed. Only needed lodging to sleep as we spent most of our day visiting friends in Wilderness State Park. Room was clean, staff was friendly, and pricing was reasonable. Only minor issue was that one air vent was rusted and needed replacing. Overall, great value and would come back again.

Mackinaw Beach & Bay Elaine from Mechanicsburg stayed in June 2024

The suite was perfect for our girls trip to Mackinac Island. It was reasonably priced with a great location near the ferry. The BOGO breakfast was perfect for us. We felt very welcome by the gentlemen who worked in the evenings and the lady who worked in the morning. All gave us good advice about touring the area. Tickets to the island, carriage tour and Mackinaw City tour were purchased at the hotel.

Mackinaw Beach & Bay David from Linwood stayed in June 2024

Great value. A bit dated, but for the price to be on the beach, walking distance to restaurants, downtown MC, and the ferries, and a great view of the bridge. Quieter than expected. Thanks for having us.

Mackinaw Beach & Bay William from Flat Rock stayed in July 2024

The stay was good, the pool area needs some fixing up, it needs to be cleaned up and painted! It would be nice if they would get all the grass off the beach and had breakfast. The room was clean and the beds were comfy!

Mackinaw Beach & Bay Jennifer from Brownstown stayed in July 2024

The location is wonderful. However, the building had a broken door leading to the beach, there were holes in the ceiling in our bathroom with just something pushed into it, it wasnt the cleanest, the beach was weedy, and just needed some updating in general.

Upon arrival, was told about all the amenities the hotel offered. When asked where to catch a ferry to Mackinac Island, they gave us directions plus we were able to buy tickets at a discount right at the hotel. Spacious clean rooms. Second time staying here. Loved our first stay so much, we came back. Staff extremely friendly and helpful.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Property and room was clean and comfortable. Only negative we experienced was that the counter top in the bathroom needs repair but nothing that impacted our stay. Great view of the bridge and islands from our balcony. This location was close to the ferry do ks and downtown.

Mackinaw Beach & Bay Donald from Glens Falls stayed in September 2023

Had a nice clean room and easily accommodated us when we decided to stay an extra day. Only two issues we had were that the ice machine only worked on the first floor and that there was not another small table in our room, but not anything to upset our stay. Everything was good in the room and unlike many hotels, the water was very hot our whole stay. Our light on the balcony burned out and within the hour of our call it was replaced. Staff was friendly and easy to deal with. Thank You

Nice place. On the beach on the Huron side, steps from the sand and waves. View of the Bridge from the balcony. Spacious room, good beds. It was also a little less than some of the adjacent properties. I'd return if I needed to stay in Mackinaw City.
