Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer on-site dining beyond a complimentary Continental breakfast, it’s just a short walk to a variety of restaurants and casual spots downtown. Breakfast is served daily—perfect for grabbing something light after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

Though there’s no on-site bar or live music, you’re very close to Mackinaw City’s local pubs and laid-back taverns. Whether you're in the mood for a cocktail or just want to be around other concert-goers reliving the show, you’ll find options within walking distance.

Areas for Improvement

We loved the area

Liked: I liked location staff friendly breakfast fair
Disliked: No soap in room no shampoo lotion. The halls were so dirty in need of paint. The water front needed cleaning chairs scattered all around empty bottles all around broken chairs all around .I feel they need more staff to help clean up a bit However the staff we saw were very friendly. They upgraded our room which was very nice of them So much potential and this could be a goldmine.

It was good.

Liked: Didn’t have breakfast, it would be nice if served until 10 a.m.Nice layout and decor in room and bathroom.
Disliked: There seemed to be a little bit of a musty smell… Maybe the carpet.Lying down, looked at the ceiling and saw a number of spiderwebs.
