"Pictures advertised aren't what they are. "

2.0

The pictures that are on the site for booking are nothing like it in real life. The staff was nice. But the rooms were filthy. Cobwebs every where, the door had choclate or something all over it, fridge smelled like rotten eggs. The floor was so bad. And no where to plug anything in unless you unplug a lamp, and plugs aren't near bed. and lamps don't work. The pool was green water. Good thing their was lake access. I wish i took more pictures. Glad we were at the room just to sleep.

The room was very musty and mold smelling. There was a hole in the wall next to the AC, a hole big enough under the door for a mouse to crawl through. The pillows were stained yellow. I could see the bed bugs crawling around. We walked in and walked out of the room. The ladies at the front desk very un helpful and rude. 10/10 would NOT recommend

Booked through Expedia and like many other reviewers, we were completely bait and switched. The listing showed a cute, relaxing beach front cabin, but what we got was a dirty, run down motel. Our room had bugs, dirty sheets, and even a blood stain on one of the beds. To make matters worse, when we woke up there was a handprint on the outside of our window where someone had clearly tried to slide it open during the night. Most of the windows on the property were already broken, which makes it obvious there is a serious safety and peeping tom issue here. Yes, you get what you pay for, but the listing should accurately reflect what this motel actually is. Do not be fooled by the pictures. This is not a cozy cabin experience. It is a filthy and unsafe motel.

With the pictures posted on the website you feel like you’re getting one of the cabins that’s waterfront. That was my fault for not reading between the lines. It’s like a bait and switch on the room. The room was clean but the decor is outdated and the furnishings in the room need to be steam cleaned. I would say the furnishings were dirty. The AC was cold. Another thing I found unsettling was that you don’t have a way to lock the door inside the room. The deadbolt in my room did not work.

The pictures from the main inn site was a little deceiving to the room we rented. However, the inn was close to the beach and nearby some shops.

Just what I was looking for - end of summer get away. Price was favorable. Room location was really nice. Bed was comfortable. I like to walk and the location was near to everything I was looking for in Mackinaw City.

I was playing in the room, I chose a room and then they gave me another one, a bad hotel.
