The proximity to the Bridge was amazing for sunset/sunrise views. The room was small, but perfect for a one night stay as a solo traveler. Bed was decent and my mark of any good hotel - sleep timer on the TV- check, and decent pillows - check.

I had an extremely pleasant stay in this motel. The location was wonderful, there was a beautiful view of the bridge and it was in walking distance to most of the Mackinaw City attractions. The room was extremely clean. The check in staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There was an outdoor pool, it looked very clean, but it was too cold to use it while I was there. Don't expect luxury, but it's a clean, continent place to stay for a family vacation.
