This was dirty, old and felt like a sleezy hotel. The only saving grace was there was a pool for the kids that was clean. There is a hotel next door with comparable prices that is ten times better, unfortunately they were booked and we were told this place was managed by the same people. I really hope not, because...

The prices were very reasonable, and the rooms and service were outstanding. The management and employees are always helpful with answers to questions that one might have with places to go, or where to eat. The lobby also provides a good selection of brochures of nearby places for activities and entertainment.

Okay, its not the prettiest motel I have ever stayed at, But for the price and the views from my room can't be beat. We had a room on the water with a balcony, so relaxing. The staff was very accomodating and made any request easy. We have stayed there twice now, and everytime we go to Mackinaw we will... More

For those of us that grew-up in Michigan and spent our summers going 'Up North' on family vacations, this is a place that wil bring back a bunch of memories of those times! Waterfront Inn is on the south end of Mackinaw City and close enough to walk to many of the restuarants, shopping and boat docks to Mackinaw Island.... More

Just got back from 4 nights at the Waterfront Inn. We had room 250, which was at the end on the second floor. The beds were on the outside wall, so the only time I heard our neighbors was when we were both in the bathroom at the same time. Room was a pretty good size, 2 beds, table and... More

The hotel was in a good location and easy to access the ferries and shopping. We stayed for 1 night at the Waterfront Inn, waiting to go to Mackinac Island for the weekend. We had a king room on the end of the back part of the hotel. I couldn't even take my sandals off - the carpet was damp... More

We stayed two nights a the Waterfront Inn. It is a well maintained facility located away from the business of downtown, yet close enough to walk to the shops. The rooms are clean and comfortably spacious. They have rooms with balconies overlooking Lake Huron. A beatiful view and wonderful to wake up to see the sun rising over the water,... More

We stayed at the Waterfront Inn starting on the 4th of July. It ws a great location to watch the fireworks for mackinaw City, Mackinac Island and St. Ignace all at once.
