Super 8 Beachfront Motel Verified Hotel Customer stayed in September 2024

Beautiful view from private balcony.The facility, however, is dated and in need of updating.Electrical outlets accessible only via 1 power strip in the room.Had wanted to use the hot tub, but again, things looked very run down and did not want to take a chance.

Super 8 Beachfront Elizabeth from Lawton stayed in June 2024

No type of breakfast included as other hotels I've stayed in up there before. Parking is hard to find if you come in later in the evening. The room was nice but the second bed could not really see the tv. Maybe mount the tv on the wall with a swivel to aim towards the other bed. Other than that it was a nice place to stay and close to downtown.

Super 8 Beachfront Pepper from Lake Orion stayed in July 2023

We were happy with our stay and would go back in the future. The front desk staff was very pleasant. They helped us with our waivers to use the water park at the hotel down the street. We also paid for court side but we had a lake view, which was such a pleasant surprise for me and the kids. The carpet didnt look the cleanest but I had kids tracking sand in from the beach within the first hour of being there, so it wasnt a big deal to me. The location is great. We were able to walk to the ferry and water park in one direction, and Starbucks and the shops in the other. The room had a refrigerator and a good size TV. The AC was struggling to keep the room cold but it worked fine enough for us. If you like your hotel fancy, then go somewhere else. If you want to save some money and have an okay place to stay then this is the place for you.

All rooms need to have microwaves along with mini refrigerators! All rooms should have hang tags on their doors that read "do not disturb" or "need house keeping service"!Update the balconies to be a bit more private!Beds are comfortable! Room itself was nice enough.

Super 8 Beachfront Penelope from Kalamazoo stayed in September 2021

My adult granddaughter and I felt like summer had flown by without us getting a proper vacation "up North". We booked a long weekend of travel, starting at Mackinaw City and progressing to the UP. Arriving late on a Thursday, we found no parking spaces available in the lot and had to park behind our unit. Other than that, the unit was as requested. It was clean and adequately furnished, though not luxurious. The desk staff called us twice while traveling to confirm our arrival time, telling us "the desk closes at 11pm". The "grab and go" breakfast left something to be desired. An apple, a wrapped muffin, plus a bottle of water was somewhat reluctantly provided upon my request. Overall, an adequate place to lay your head for one night, at a competitive price.

Super 8 Beachfront Sarah from Holland stayed in August 2021

It was okay, but I don’t think we will stay there again. The service was good, all 3 times we went to the front desk the staff answered our questions/helped. The room wasn’t what I expected. It was pretty outdated and the beds weren’t super comfortable. For the rate we paid I was overall satisfied, but next year we will stay somewhere else.

Sheplers messed up our boarding passes and then sent us back to the hotel when they were the ones that should've fixed it. Man you guys were great! She took a stance when through all the hoops so all we had to do was stand there and follow her directions. It could've been such a mess! Thanks guys!
