The Spotlight on Crown Choice Inn & Suites Lakeview and Waterpark

Lake Views and Laid-Back Comfort Near Downtown Mackinaw City

Modern yet family-friendly, Crown Choice Inn & Suites Lakeview and Waterpark offers a relaxed stay just a short walk from the Arnold Line Ferry Dock. With scenic views of Lake Huron and an on-site indoor waterpark, this hotel combines comfort, fun, and convenience. Located just one mile from downtown Mackinaw City, it's a solid base for music fans heading to concerts or festivals in the area.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a 5-minute walk from ferry access to Mackinac Island and a quick drive to downtown venues and attractions. The hotel offers free Wi-Fi to stay connected post-show, and rooms come with microwaves, fridges, and coffee makers—ideal for late-night snacks after a gig. After a long night, you can unwind in the sauna or enjoy the seasonal outdoor pool and sun deck. While it’s not in the middle of nightlife, it’s perfect for those who want a peaceful post-concert wind-down.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each room includes a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker, perfect for late-night bites or morning coffee. The picnic area is great for casual meals, and downtown Mackinaw City is just a mile away with several walkable eateries. Breakfast may be available seasonally—check ahead if you're planning a lazy morning after the show.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is more about relaxing than partying, but it’s a short drive or Uber to downtown Mackinaw City where you’ll find bars, casual pubs, and spots with occasional live music. It’s a quieter home base with options nearby if you want more action.

What People Say

Guests love the lake views, indoor waterpark for daytime fun, and the easy access to ferries and downtown. Families and groups appreciate the large rooms and amenities like the sauna and pools. Many reviews highlight the great location and overall value for the price.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers mention that parts of the property could use a refresh and that the breakfast options are limited. During peak season, the hotel can get busy with families, which may not suit those looking for a super quiet retreat.

The Bottom Line

A laid-back, budget-friendly hotel with lake views and great access to Mackinac concerts and downtown Mackinaw City fun—ideal for music fans who like to mix shows with a little R&R.

Would never recommend to anyone.

Liked: Location
Disliked: No breakfast offered, room was not clean and gad to he moved to another room which wasn't much better. We had 6 people in our room and only 1 wash cloth and 2 bath towels. When requesting more we were told they ran out. There was no iron in the room and the freezer door would not shut. The water park was very cold abd the kids were not able to really enjoy. For the price we had to. pay it certainly was not worth it and will never book again. Very disappointing!

Zero stars

Liked: The water park.
Disliked: Let's begin with the room was on the 4th floor which could only be accessed by a very large set of stairs. For a family of 4 and all our luggage was very inconvenient. The room was clean but the bathroom door was falling off the hinges. It stuck to the floor and had to be manhandled to open and closed. The second lock that provides safety on the door was missing. The room was nice and cool but the heat when you walked out of the room was hot and muggy. The price was outrageous given the accommodations. There was no continental breakfast of any sort, coffee or otherwise, disappointing stay to say the very least.

Check it out

Liked: We like the room size.The one we got for a family of 5 was a queen beds, king bed, sofa bed, and had a small kitchenette.
Disliked: The indoor pool was cold and cloudy, the indoor hottub was cold and cloudy, the outdoor pool was a good temp, the outdoor hottub was yellow and had a very strong odor, and we reported it twice, and no one ever did anything. The parking is absolutely ridiculous (the lines need to be redone)The waterpark was extremely crowded.

The facility may be convenient...

Liked: The convenience
Disliked: The electricity was off, we had one heck of time trying to figure out why an alarm was going off in our room after we entered. And the staff was not willing to find out or help until we demanded another room.

I’d stay there again

Liked: No breakfast on the property but that was ok because there were plenty of places to eat and there was plenty of room for all of us.
Disliked: Parking lot was too small. Especially since it was close to The Cabins but we made due

Pleasant - 3.0 out of 5

Sadie Mon, 9 June 2025

Not worth the money

Liked: The water park was fun.
Disliked: The room was not clean, spider webs and dead flies everywhere in room. Couldn’t open bathroom door all the way due to shower curtain, food left under dressers, and beds were hard as rocks.
