Would not recommend

I will start with the good. It is on a nice beach. It is walking distance to restaurants and the ferry. However, I would not recommend this hotel. It is old and shows it. The carpet in the hallways is filthy. I would not walk barefoot on it. The "balcony" in our room was very small, balcony furniture was not cleaned, and it is infested with tiny spiders. The screen door was busted at the bottom so that bugs could fly in and I requested a repaid to no avail. Housekeeping is not so great. They did not vaccuum and didn't clean the jacuzzi which had a dirty washcloth that we had used to clean the balcony. It rained one night and the balcony is covered but does not keep you dry. The balcony was soaked. We were given a room on the fourth floor but the elevator only goes to third floor. We were advised about this. The front desk staff upon check in raved about our room saying it was the best one in the place. If so, I can't imagine what the others must be like. There is a free breakfast but it is only 7a to 9 a. The one day we wanted to try it, at about 830 am, it was so packed we left. They need to extend the hours. I overheard someone say the Best Western is no so great either. I don't know which one to recommend, but it would not be the Hamilton

It was in a gorgeous location, right on the beach. Very walkable to dining and touristy areas. The only "negative" thing is the property is a little "tired", maybe a little dated. But the breakfast was good as well!!

Chairs in the room old and stained falling apart. Room had a bad smell as soon as opened the door. Yet tub doesn’t look like they deep cleaned and on top of that very little only one person can fit in and I went with my husband 😕 the whole point was to spent time together not one at a time not worth $400+ a night. Breakfast only for 2 hours and not even if you get there 30 minutes before ending time you get nothing. We wore supposed to get tickets for water park and wasn’t give it until I remember to ask and the lady was even rude. Outdoor lounge chairs very limited and not towels on hand. Pool as soon as you open the door your eyes burn of all the chlorine it has. T.v is old school tv like a 19” with nothing good to watch. Bedsheets rough material. Again more than 400 a night not worth it.

The hotel was conveniently located along Lake Huron with shops and restaurants nearby. This is an older hotel, but our room was clean and we had a great balcony view of Lake Huron. The one thing that was disappointing is that we were assigned a room that could only be accessed by a staircase. There was not an elevator that went to this particular floor, but we were not told at check-in and we had trouble trying to figure out how to get to our room. We are older and had to lift our suitcases up the stairs to our room. Overall, I think this hotel is OK for a short stay, but I would not want to stay here for a week long vacation.

Shower had so much lime build-up on the faucet I didn’t want to touch. Wore flip flops in shower because it looked as if they didn’t clean it along with more lime buildup. Carpet had so many snags. Customer service was horrible! They did not provide ANY complimentary shampoo, soap, or lotion! No coffee pot! Place is very outdated. Needs a major renovation! Breakfast was okay. Nothing huge to rave about!

I gave the staff a 1 only because I was waiting for the elevator. When it arrived, a staff member was in it with a large bin of dirty laundry. She was on her phone. She saw I was waiting and she continued texting on her phone for at least 30 seconds not getting out of the elevator and blocking it from anyone getting in. Another staff member that was in the hall with me said something to her and she just made a nasty comment. I found that very rude. I wasn’t in a hurry but I also don’t appreciate rudeness. All the other staff so far have been awesome

We had a nice stay in the hotel, the beach was really nice, even though the water was cold. The rooms were a bit dark. It was great that breakfast was included, but I didn’t like that breakfast was served from 7-9 am. It would be great if the breakfast was served at least until 10 am. Regardless, I recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to Mackinaw City.

Ferry tickets

We bought our ferry tickets from the front desk. They stated to arrive 45 minutes to an hour before it takes off. We wanted to the 10:20 ferry to go over the bridge. We checked in at the dock and they put us in line. It was 15 mins and we were on the ferry already and found we were on the wrong scheduled ferry. We were on the 9:30 ferry and didn't get to go unde the bridge. So, I guess what I'm trying to say... is the desk didn't know the correct time to be at the dock. It was a bit disappointing.

Would NOT recommend

The hotel has a really weird smell and then when we got into our room there was a different strange smell. The bedroom was fine, just really dated. However the bathroom in the room was rough. There was mold on the ceiling, water damage that was not fixed on the ceiling, the toilet needs to be re-caulked and some of the tile trim was missing. Also, the power went out for 4 hours in the early morning and when I asked about it at checkout, the lady at the front desk was snippy. We were not told about breakfast and had to ask other guests to figure out where it was. Overall, not a good experience. Would not recommend.
