"Room is clean, but worn. Only one ice machine on the premises worked.
Hot water was fantastic. We had to clean the dust out of the whirlpool tub to figure that out."

"The room we stayed in was clean, just basic. We stayed at the budget inn and they make it very clear through the booking and on the lobby door of the budget inn that you checkin/out at the Thunderbird Inn next door. The rooms were basic and felt equal to the affordable price we paid. The pools were not open but it was a cold memorial day weekend trip. I got to bring my dog for only $25 for the whole 4 nights. It was a great stay, it was quiet. I wish there was more lighting outside for when I...

"We were initially concerned after reading several negative Google reviews and had certain expectations about the service. However, we were pleasantly surprised by our experience. The rooms were neat, clean, and well-equipped with amenities, and the overall service was good. Great job by the team."

"I booked what was advertised as a picturesque lakefront cabin. Instead, when I checked in, I was directed to what appeared to be a small shed-like structure in the middle of a parking lot. It was not lakefront, did not resemble the accommodation shown in the listing, and was absolutely not what I paid for.
I was assigned "cabin" #440, yet the only cabins I could find were numbered 1, 2, and 3. After multiple phone calls, being told to keep trying keys that did not work, and being instructed to try other units despite them being occupied, I finally insisted that someone come out and help me in person.
That is when I was shown the parking lot structure I had supposedly booked.
I repeatedly explained that I had specifically paid for a lakefront cabin. I was told that all lakefront cabins were occupied. I pointed out that I had booked a lakefront cabin and that one of the visible cabins appeared vacant.
After 15 minutes of arguing, I was moved to a lakefront motel room, which staff repeatedly described as an "upgrade."
Unless you don't mind paying premium lakefront cabin prices and potentially ending up in what looks like a shed in a parking lot or being told that a low-quality motel room is an "upgrade," then by all means, book here. Otherwise, I would not recommend this property."
"Loved being on the beach, opening the window and hearing the waves. Loved having the bathroom separating the 2 beds, so there is some privacy. Having laundry facilities was nice although I did not use them. Hotel offered discounts on the ferries, butterfly experience on Mackinaw Island, dining and other events. There was also a shuttle service to and from the ferry."
"Room and location was fantastic. Right in downtown and just up the street from Shepler's ferry terminal. But no laundry facilities even though it was listed on Hotels.com site and also no longer offering discounted ferry tickets."
"My bathtub was not clean. I thought it may have been stained but i could scrape the soap scum with my nail. I did not use the pool or hot tub. The parking was adequate and safe. The staff was friendly enough. The location was great. Across the road from Lake Huron and within walking distance to the shops, restaurants and ferry."
"I highly recommend these lovely cabins. Great location in the heart of Mackinaw. We had an electrical issue in the room we booked and the staff kindly upgraded us to a chalet which made for a really enjoyable stay."
