Mediocre hotel.
When we arrived at our building the hall smelled like burnt fish. Gladly the room though it was tiny did not smell. The windows were loaded with spiders so looking out them wasn’t very pleasant.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Room was spacious and had what I needed. The fire pit and s’mores were a really nice addition after a day of activities. Super close to the downtown area of Mackinaw City. Nice breakfast offerings. I would stay here again.

The room was clean, the lock on the front door did not lock properly and we found that the door was open after cleaning all day. When we returned we found the door cracked open and the room was full of knatts. they came in and tried to vacuum up the ones that were in the bathroom. Bad part was that we were fighting knatts all night.
