The location is in walking distance of many shops, activities and the Arnold ferry service which I highly recommended using if you are heading to Mackinac.The room was comfortable, linens were clean as was the bathroom. Do not rely on the breakfast. Coffee was hit and miss when available. Food items were minimal, prepackaged granola bars and muffins. It’s a shame the dining area was closed as this is a missed opportunity for the hotel. Remember this is right near the water so yes there are birds and bugs flying around. The fireworks on Saturday night was an unexpected surprise.
I recommend :
Icebreaker Mackinaw Maritime Museum. Being able to tour a retired Coast Guard ship was awesome. Go further north for even more places showcasing the Coast Guard!
Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse
Headlands International Dark Sky park
Mackinac Island - you will need multiple days just for this
The Hook restaurant in Mackinaw isn’t worth what you pay. The food was cooked good but all three meals at the table were under seasoned.
Toast to go go has a decent breakfast buffet. Make sure to grab a coupon from the front desk for a buy one get one free.
Murray Hotel on Makinac has a restaurant that has quick and delicious food. Their burritos are amazing. Take it to go and sit in the park and enjoy the atmosphere.
A little further North to Penny’s Kitchen in Sault Ste Marie. They have a great breakfast!! While you are there visit some local shops, Soo Locks and even take a boat tour.
