"Stayed 2 nights with husband and 2 kids while visiting Mackinac Island. The hotel is an excellent location. While there is a free shuttle available to take you to one of the ferry docks, it is a quick 10 minute walk, so we walked there and back. There a few dining options and an ice cream shop nearby within walking distance as well, although most seem to close early in the evenings. The hotel is a collection of 4 hotel buildings (all named after the great lakes) and the Reception/pool building. We stayed at the Huron building with great lake views. The grounds are well kept. There is a lake access, bonfire pit where fires are lit every night from 8-10pm, a small playground and an outdoor pool with a hot tub. There is breakfast served in the mornings that was pretty well stocked with eggs, bacon or sausage, potatoes, biscuits and gravy, as well as cereals, waffle makers and pastries, hot coffee and juices. The indoor pool and hot tub were clean. It was great to soak the sore muscles in the hot tub after biking more than 16 miles on the island. The room was fairly standard size, not very big, but it was clean. The little balcony was a nice addition although we didnt have much time to use it. Saturday night we were aboe to watch the firework show from the balcony. Overall, I would stay here again and would recommend this hotel. "
