Hotel overview

Set on the shores of Lake Huron, this laid-back property stretches across four buildings offering varied accommodations from standard rooms to spacious family suites. Guests enjoy sweeping partial views of Mackinac Island while relaxing on their balconies or taking advantage of the fire pit area in the evenings. The hotel is just a short walk from downtown St Ignace, making local shopping, dining, and ferry service easily accessible.

This two-star lodging provides useful amenities including free Wi-Fi, complimentary breakfast with a popular waffle station, and free parking. Families appreciate the indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, and a playground that keep kids entertained throughout the stay. A business center and airport shuttle add convenience to travelers on both leisure and business trips.

Although well-maintained and praised for cleanliness, some guests note the presence of flies near the lakeside and recommend bookings with lake or pool views to enhance the experience. The hotel’s relaxed campus-style layout offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to numerous nearby outdoor attractions including Fort Mackinac and Arch Rock.

“Amazing value! Only $135/night for this “partial” view of the island, lucked out with the best room in the category during shoulder season. Everything was clean, good breakfast selection and attendants. Good firm bed. You can walk to Shepler’s Ferry but their free shuttle was extremely quick and easy. They have everything from motel rooms to big double family suites in different buildings so make sure you check all the different types when you are booking.”

“This hotel was fantastic. It is a campus rather than a single building. We stayed in the Ontario building in a double queen balcony lakeview room. This hotel was CLEAN inside and out! Honestly it has been a long time since I've had such clean accommodations. Check in was friendly, helpful and fast. The view from our room was stunning. Be warned, there will be bugs. Specifically, flies are everywhere and the hotel warned us about them at check in. They don't bite so they are more of a nuisance if anything. If you go on the balcony of your room they WILL get inside. The first floor of our building had vending machines with drinks and snacks with a food selection. Ice machine was also on the first floor. Continental breakfast every morning from 6-10. Really good spread, there is something for everyone. Coffee was good. Several juices to choose from. They have a nightly "bonfire" although it's truly just a small fire pit. Was nice to sit and enjoy the sunset. There is a convenient shuttle to and from either ferry service you choose to get to the island. After a day of biking and hiking, we were so sore and dreading the walk to our building situated in the very back of the campus. Our wonderful shuttle driver drove us all the way to the building which wasn't expected but very welcome! Be sure to tip your driver! Our second day was rainy, but this hotel is in a great location. Many things are walking distance (in better weather)or a short drive. Lots of shops to pop into and great dining options. BC pizza delivers to the hotel if you can't or don't want to drive. I will be back again and looking forward to it.”

“We stayed here as a family of five (kids ages 15, 12, and 9) and had such a great experience! Our room setup with two beds and a pull-out couch worked out perfectly for us,plenty of space and super comfortable. Breakfast was just right, and the waffle station was a huge hit with our crew! They had three waffle makers going, plus strawberries and chocolate toppings, definitely our favorite part of the morning. The staff really made our stay even better. The young man at the front desk was always so friendly, and honestly, every staff member we came across was welcoming and kind. The kids also loved the indoor pool and hot tub, it was the perfect way to relax. We’d absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to other families looking for a comfortable and friendly place to stay!”

“Beautiful lakefront views, expansive property with plenty of things to do. The lake views are wonderful. We got a lake side walk out, and if we had known more about the beach we would have opted for a pool side room. The beach is rocky, not sandy. Be prepared for may flies.”

“This was the first time we stayed there in a water side room. It was awesome. The view out of our room was great. The sound of the waves was relaxing. Close to town and we'll worth it. Clean rooms. Was a bit far from the pool and too cold out to walk back/forth after swimming. Next time when warmer, I will.”

“Check in was very easy. The gentleman covering the front immediately began helping us, though it was apparent this was not his job. While the lady come in and quickly transitioned completing the check-in. I was handed my room keys and map (motel kind of setup). Easy to follow. The was clean, I could not hear the neighboring rooms. Our section was full. Just decide what you want to do for dinner early. Just about everything closes by 8pm. (Off-season?). Stayed one night, again quick check-out and on the road.”
