We had a fun weekend getaway with the kids at the hotel. The waterpark kept them happy and us to! The breakfast was great also. The staff was very attentive and friendly and the room was spotless. We had a great view of the water/ice and the bridge as well from our balcony.

This property is poorly maintained inside and out. The carpet on the stairs is worn and torn. The room itself had an odor and just had an unclean feeling about it. They advertised a breakfast buffet, but you had to walk to the hotel next door to get it. We opted not to go because there really wasn't enough seating... More

The hotel is old. Usually that does not bother me, but the wallpaper was starting to come off the wall. The in-room refrigerator was noisy at night. It just didn't feel really clean, and it was weird having the sink almost butted up against one of the beds. The "water park" is really no water park (maybe for locals). Both... More

My stay at the fairview was terrible, the room was dirty and cobwebs everywhere. I went to the office and because all the rooms were taken as I was told I had no choice but to stay. I had to get clean sheets because the ones on the bed were stained. I did call when I return home and the... More

My family vacations annually to Mackinaw City for a 2 night "weekend away." Because our time together is precious, the last thing I want to worry about is spending $ for travel and lodging only to end up in a dirty room with a rude staff to ruin our time together. After doing extensive online research of the "Bridge Vista"... More

Our room was exceptionally clean, large, with a wonderful balcony view. It was convenient to Mackinaw City, had a large beach, and huge breakfast buffet shared with the hotel next door. We were lucky enough to visit at a time where the rates were lower due to being off-season, and there were not a lot of guests at this time.... More

We took our 12 year-old grandaughter and her friend to Mackinaw for two days. Because we could not get the same suite at the other hotel for two consecutive nights, we booked our last night here. I was promised a top floor suite, but when we arrived (after a day in the Island) we were put in a lower suite.... More

I chose this hotel because of the water park amenities. The water park was disappointing and was not a water park at all but a spray park. It was rusty, some of the spray features were broken and the drains were backed up and slimy. Our room was disgusting. When we walked in we were hit with an overwhelming musty... More
