Perfect location with everything you could need on property! Bike rentals right in front of the hotel and restaurant/bar options! The front porch and yard had perfect areas to relax, hang out, and just take in all the island’s beauty! Would stay here again when coming back to the island!

It was amazing.
Lihong, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Love the hotel however it is in serious need of upgrading to be in line with the price per night. Bathrooms are not accommodating and the set up just needs serious updating/ remodeling. 1852 restaurant is wonderful with great food and service.
George, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My first time on Mackinac Island and the staff here were so helpful and efficient. The 4th floor room in the dormered part of the building was big enough for one person. I appreciated that there was still a small table and chairs in the room. I misplaced my credit card in the hotel restaurant, and both the front desk staff and the restaurant staff were very helpful in assisting me with locating it. The hotel was beautiful. Right off the downtown shopping area.
Kelly, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is very nice and tastefully decorated. I give it 4 stars. It's a bit pricey for the quality level, but it's Mackinac so somewhat expected. We reserved a 2 BR suite as we were traveling with my adult daughter, and the room lay out was strange. 2 baths, but weird lay out. It was an obvious conversion from a space that had other purposes. Just not what I'd expect at the price level charged. Overall the hotel was clean and the staff friendly, barring the restaurant manager who was somewhat gruff.
