RUN AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL!!!! I have experienced many hotels in my life but never had such a bad experience!!! The toilet clogged up not once but twice! There was obviously something wrong with it, but they would not acknowledge it. The extra money I paid to get a beachfront deck was completely thrown to trash, because the deck was filthy with spider webs and dead mosquitoes. I politely asked if they could clean it, I was told yes, and then nothing happened! As if this wasn’t enough, when I called corporate office to make my complaint, the guy didn’t even tried to be understanding of what a disaster this place was! He actually questioned my ask to be compensated because I stayed in the room… well, a room with a deck and a TOILET!! I didn’t get my basic needs covered at all

I’ve been Staying in Mackinaw City for the last 21 years I’ve Been impressed with it since the 1st stay in 2002 I’ve even stayed There The Last week of November and I walked the Bridge in 2022I KNOW it’s NOT the Chamber of Commerce’s Fault BUT the Prices of EVER-THING Has Gone EXTREMELY HIGH for Elderly Visitors The Best Prices I found was when I stayed in November 🤷♂️🤷♂️ But then there’s Not much to do in the winter months

Beautiful city! There is so much to do if you have the time.
Beautiful city! There is so much to do if you have the time. Walking around in the fall weather was enjoyable. Mackinac Brewhouse wine tasting was enjoyable because Stephanie was so nice. The lighthouse and walking path are a must see. The city is very clean. I could have stayed longer than my 4 days and found plenty to do or just relax and enjoy.

Awesome visit this year, during our 2022 visit most of the seasonal staff all over the city were rude and had bad attitudes , this year was opposite where staff members all over the city were outstanding , I already miss Nonnas pizza and my new favorite ice cream place The Sweet Spot on the main drag , the burgers we had at the White Buffalo were delicious, I had the bison burger and my wife had beef burger
,both were delicious but the bison one is better

I highly recommend the Labor Day Bridge Walk and Headlands...
I highly recommend the Labor Day Bridge Walk and Headlands International Dark Sky Park. A day trip to Mackinac Island or Sault Ste Marie is fun if you've never been, but maybe I've just stayed in Mackinaw City too many times, I couldn't find much I wanted to do. Tried to go to Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the UP, but road construction delays were such that I turned around and went back. Some of my favorite shops have closed, restaurant options and quality were less than my previous visits. The weather didn't help, it was the hottest, most humid Labor Day weekend anyone could remember, and then there were thunderstorms, wind, and rain the last 2 days of my visit.

I always enjoy a trip to the Straits!
I always enjoy a trip to the Straits! There are plenty of activities to do in Mackinaw City; we typically take a trip to Mackinaw Island. The only bad thing is that prices seem to be higher in Mackinaw City than in St. Ignace.
The hotel is well located with great views over the lake, the rooms were clean and tidy and the front counter staff friendly. I am disappointed however that Best Western hotels continue to use disposable (mainly plastic) knives, forks, cups and plates for their breakfast service. It may save BW time and money not to clean them but its just not sustainable. If this policy does not change I will consider staying at other more forward thinking hotel chains in the future. come on BW you can do better!
Breakfast was not available at this hotel and for us, this wasn't an issue. The location was great and on the beach. The balcony overlooked the water and we did have a partial view of the bridge. The staff were very friendly and helpful to whatever needs or questions we had. We would stay here again. The rooms were nice. A little dated, but, clean and spacious. Thank you all for a terrific stay.
The room was clean and quiet, and the staff were very nice. It's an older hotel, but it is very clean and comfortable. The view of the bridge from our room was great. They allowed us to park in their lot before check-in, so we did not have to pay to park in the ferry parking lot. I would easily stay here again. It was a ten-minute walk to the ferry and downtown.
The Location can’t be beat, and the staff was beyond attentive. Beds were comfy and clean, bathroom updated and clean. Pool is lakeside 😍, and hotel is basically on the beach. We couldn’t have asked for anything better, especially for the price ! Walking distance to downtown and free shuttle to ferry are also wonderful perks!
Beautiful View of the water,g 7 and I went swimming ( only one in the water almost) that was lovely. There were a couple of firepits on the beach, which if they would've been lit that would have neautralized, rather than forced me to give everything a straight, of sad face.
Loved the location of the hotel, the bridge was across the street and the downtown area was only a few blocks away. The beds were so comfy, the best ones we stayed in all weekend. The room was clean and the staff was very friendly.
The hotel is located very close to all of the main attractions at Mackinaw City. It was a pleasant walk to shops and dining - nothing was too far away.
