Mackinaw Beach & Bay
Mackinaw Beach & Bay Verified Hotel Customer stayed in August 2023

Location is fantastic! The suite was very comfortable. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We felt that the beach area could be cleaned up a bit, which would be easy to do. The whirlpool looked dirty so we didnt use it. The workout room lacked as well. We definitely would stay again but wouldnt choose a ground floor suite. The people above us were often feeding the seagulls which caused an obnoxious screeching in front of our balcony. Maybe there should be a sign asking guests not to feed the birds??? It was quite annoying. Price point of the room was great!!

Mackinaw Beach & Bay Verified Hotel Customer stayed in July 2023

The rooms were a bit dated and the ceiling in the bathroom was leaking. The beds were comfortable. The rooms were decently cleaned. However we stayed in a room on the lake and people were out on the beach all night being very loud. I am not sure if there is a curfew or not.

The people behind the desk were very helpful in giving advice for things to do around town or around the island. They were friendly and professional. The breakfast, however, was very mediocre with very limited selection and quality.

Mackinaw Beach & Bay Denise from Eureka stayed in July 2023

Very nice accomodations with great view from the balcony. Right on the beach and well located to walk around Mackinaw City. Short walking distance to the Starline Ferry dock so you do not have to pay to park your vehicle when you take ferry to Mackinac Island. Older furnishings but very comfortable with local art work. I definitely recommend this beach location for families.

Mackinaw Beach & Bay Wendy from Dayton stayed in July 2023

The location and views were perfect directly on the beach! The front desk staff were friendly. The room was fairly clean, but there were a few cobwebs and squished spiders on the walls. There was also a pair of socks under a chair on the floor when we got there that someone else must have lost. Our balcony was dirty because of the seagulls and spiders. We brought our own cleaning wipes and wiped it all down. Lots of large spiders and cobwebs, some of which came in the room. The one thing I noticed was the windows on the front of the building needed cleaning. They were filthy. Overall though the hotel was great. I would stay there again.

Mackinaw Beach & Bay Bredt from Plymouth stayed in August 2023

Great location to view the bridge, Mackinac Island and beach. Older hotel that is starting to show its age. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I believe this is one of the hotels that is closed for the winter, which can't help in the aging process. Its a nice location for families with children that might want to swim in the lake.
