Super 8 Beachfront Brenda from Georgetown stayed in August 2011

I loved the location - right on the beach!!! The gentleman at the desk was not terribly helpful when asked where the Arnold docks were. "Down that wasy" was as much as we got, even probing further. The room was neat and clean and we felt safe - those are the important 3 when traveling!

Super 8 Beachfront Elliot from Grand Rapids stayed in August 2011

The view was great and the beach was spectacular, plus the walking distance to all of the downtown attractions is a huge bonus. The room was clean, and the service good. For the price it can't be beat!

Super 8 Beachfront Denise from Saginaw stayed in August 2011

Staff friendly....beds comfortable ...linen clean...beach area nice...need to check inform guests that they have two floors and NO elevators....so many steps just to get to the second floor. We couldn't attend the continental breakfast because it was pouring rain. Parking is very limited to guests because people were driving over to use the beach area and not staying at the hotel.

Super 8 Beachfront Theresa from Red Lake Falls stayed in August 2011

Loved the beach front setting; only problem we had was with the people feeding seagulls off their balcony. Made it so noisy we had to give up our nice reading time on the beach. Only spent one night there; hope to spend more time in Mackinaw City the next time we head east.

Super 8 Beachfront Chad from Perrinton stayed in August 2011

The hotel was older but had clean rooms with a fairly good breakfast. We didn't try the internet service. The air conditioner worked but not great. Two of the indoor water parks were within reasonable walking distance. The third water park was more of driving distance. The beach was nice.

Super 8 Beachfront Benita from Lapeer stayed in July 2011

The rooms were clean, but nothing spectacular about the hotel. The pool restroom was poorly maintained. The beach front was a wonderful ammenity. Our room wasn't cleaned until after 5:00 p.m. during our stay. The hotel was convenient for island and city travel. There wasn't anything impressive, but nothing to really complain about either. We enjoyed our stay.

Room was adequate--a bit outdated, but quiet and clean. Internet WiFi was very weak--ended up using the signal from the Comfort Inn next door. Enjoyed being so close to the beach and convenient to walking to shops and restaurants.

Super 8 Beachfront Jamie from Evart stayed in July 2011

It served it's purpose. The room was picked up but it wasn't the nicest hotel I've ever stayed at. For the money it was worth the little time that we actually spent in the room. I would, however, stay there again. It was in a nice location and like I said before, it definitely served it's purpose.

Super 8 Beachfront Amy from Chesterfield stayed in July 2011

PROS: Beautiful view. Yummy breakfast. Close to shopping, things to do, restaurants, and the ferry. CONS: Room needs to be updated. Not enough seating at breakfast & layout isn't functional (add another 1-2 waffle makers and move them away from the door).

Super 8 Beachfront David from Charleston stayed in June 2011

Although the Super 8 Beachfront is not our favorite place to stay in Mackinaw City, it is a better value regarding what we are willing to spend. With all that is available to do in this city, little time is actually spent in the room. So why spend more?

Super 8 Beachfront Bryan from Elwell stayed in June 2011

Our accommodations were great! The rooms were very cleaned & spruced up for us each day. We enjoyed the breakfast & swimming. There was a young man working the desk that did not explain anything about our stay & we had to ask questions about our additional package we purchased. He handed up a book & said "here is some information". Overall, we had a great time & look forward to coming back with our family.

Super 8 Beachfront Terrence from Palatine stayed in June 2011

The service was good, especially the house cleaning. The breakfast area was very small (24 maximum) for so many rooms. We ended p eating out for breakfast on all but the first day. The pool and sauna was very good and usually very uncrowded.

Super 8 Beachfront Linda from Mexico stayed in June 2011

My husband and I had no complaints! It was clean, the bed was comfortable, right on the beach! I do want to add positive comments for the young woman who keeps the complimentary breakfast stocked. We stayed two nights. The first morning, the breakfast area was really crowded, but no one ever had to wait for anything. As soon as someone left a table, she was quickly to the table to clean it off for another patron.

Super 8 Beachfront John from Ravenna stayed in June 2011

The room was on the first floor as opposed to the second floor where we've stayed before, thus it seemed a bit darker. But otherwise the service at the desk was good and the breakfast we had on each of the two days we stayed was good.

Super 8 Beachfront Kara from Mt. Pleasant stayed in June 2011

I would stay at the Super 8 again. It has an awesome location. Everything is in walking distance. The only problem we had was that the hot tub was not actually hot. We were told that they were going to fix it, but we were too tired and went to sleep. We only stayed for one night. For the cost it was perfect. Fine breakfast and clean room.

I like the beach and the wooden swing but the flies were terrible. It's not the fault of the Super 8. It was simply bad timing on our part. Otherwise I would have checked Outstanding.

Super 8 Beachfront Lisa from Kennesaw stayed in May 2011

Yes, the hotel is a little dated, however, you can not beat the view from the beachfront rooms or its close proximity to town, the beach, and other points of interest. The breakfast buffet has juices, coffee, milk, waffles, basic breads and cereals. For something to get you going on the start of your day it's great and included in your stay. If you are going to stay I would recommend the lakeview rooms as they do have a great view of the lake. Never got a chance to try the pool or hottub, but we were just looking for a basic place to stay while site seeing in Mackinaw City and for that it is great and at least our rate was reasonably priced.
