You get what you pay for. When we checked in, there were no night shift workers and had to check in for our room down the road at another hotel. This is way better than the Crown Plaza though! Everything was clean. Just felt sketchy at night with no workers in the building.

Horrible! We were given an outdated room with broken furniture. Toilet clogged the second day. Shower head stopped working. Only thing nice was it was close to the Mackinaw island ferry.

The heater would turn on very load regardless if it was on or off every 25 minutes. Semi-clean but felt rushed.
