Beach is wonderful. Staff was fantastic. Hotel as a whole is outdated and in need of updates. Hallways did not smell pretty but room was very clean. Beds were OK. Definitely a family friendly hotel. Lots of kids. Nice short walk to downtown Mackinaw City.

Meh...

As they say in real estate, it's location, location, location. The Hamilton has it in spades. In between the 2 ferry terminals to Mackniac Island, close to downtown Mackinaw City but not too close. Yes you are right on beach, accurate view pictured. After that it starts going downhill. Place has a dingy look inside and out, just not clean, I'd wager bulit in the late 80's to early 90's and minorly refreshed since. Only other positive was the bed as it was fairly comfortable. Where to begin....cable wires hanging from the wall on the TV's, The Jacuzzi? Didn't work, Wallpaper beat to hell, all furniture scratched up. WiFi was abysmal. The 'Free' breakfast you got what you paid for (runny powdered eggs, cold pancakes, sliced ham that was mostly salt). I got the impression the ownership plans to run this place to complete inhabitation and demo the property. I suspect thats many years from now as saps like my wife and I want to be in the area which is gorgeous and plenty to do

Room was spacious and clean, they could have dusted better, light bulbs had an inch of dust on them. Breakfast was ok. Typical hotels breakfast, fake eggs, great ham and pancakes. Overall it was a great 2 night stay. Beds were comfy, and loved being on the beach. I would stay again.

Marv Herzog is a beautiful hotel with a beautiful history. The whole place is dedicated to the memory and history of Marv. Learn all about his storied career as a local musician admired by locals and around the world.
Our room was dedicated to Marv’s year of 1978. Each room has a different year! The lobby includes instruments, albums and photos.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. Yes, its older but it is in great condition and the views are stunning. The staff is beyond amazing. We were there for my daughter's wedding and they were very accomodating, even making sure all of our rooms wete ready for early check in. We will definitely be back!

Great location. Easy walk to a Mackinac Island ferry, and to restaurants and shops on the city side. We left our car parked for most of our visit. Also loved our room’s balcony overlooking the private beach and the water. Beautiful! The hotel decor is a bit dated, and the exterior and balcony could use a good power wash, but these three-star exceptions are balanced out by five-star location, convenience, and view.

The staff was friendly and went above & above to provide kind services. The breakfast buffet had limited selection of food and I wish the lobby had a water dispenser as the only water was the vending machine that had water bottle for $4.00. The property was clean and a beautiful property on the lake!

We really loved our stay here. From the moment we walked in to speak with the very kind and informative check in staff down to the end of our trip. The room was wonderful! They answered questions we had and were very helpful in assisting us in how to get around the area and getting a shuttle to the ferry docs. It was a very clean and convenient property. Five stars in our book!

I’ve stayed at many properties at Mackinaw City. Each year I travel to the UP and Mackinaw City is a mid-point in my trip. The Hamilton will be my go-to from now on. The rooms are spacious. The beach was fun for my grandkids as was the pool.
