This hotel is in bad shape. We booked here despite the reviews, due to booking too late and hoping it wouldn't be too bad. Alas, we were not shocked that tripadvisor was pretty spot on. Lets start at the top: The front lobby smelled of paint. The front open area, what looked to be a three-season room in front of... More

Noisy hotel! Had to call the front desk to get the guests upstairs to stop making so much noise (it was nearly midnight) The door from the stairwell needs a soft closer to stop the incessant banging each time it closes. The noise level of this hotel is unacceptable and I would not stay when I visit in the future.... More

Lots of bad reviews but this hotel worked just fine for us (me, wife & 2 kids) No its not fancy but I'm not picky as long as a hotel is clean and safe. Good price compared to next door and others on a Saturday and still get the waterpark which the kids wanted. Breakfast can be crowded but just... More

We booked this hotel by phone with Travelocity customer service. They told us it was rated '4'. We were shocked to find that this hotel is probably the worst hotel in Mackinaw. When we checked into the hotel, we went immediately to the internet to read the reviews. The hotel manager was even surprised of the 4 rating! The hotel... More

I normally don't write reviews, but wanted to write one for other travelers that have booked here and are now concerned based on the reviews. I used priceline so I didn't know what hotel I would end up with, and I was really concerned after reading all of these reviews. Honestly, for the price we paid, this hotel was great.... More

We spent one night at the Bayside Hotel of Mackinaw before going to Mackinac Island and were pleasantly suprised at how nice the rooms were. The rooms are very clean with nice beds, bedding and linens. The staff at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. They also offered a free breakfast with your stay, which included sausage, scrambled... More

This is one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at! Everything in disrepair! No air conditioning in halls. Breakfast served only until 8:30. Not very clean. Looks like a foreclosed hotel struggling to get back up and running. Only found one ice machine working for the entie facility. Would never recommend!

Stayed here at the end of July 2012. The deadbolt on our door was not operable and the door was not hung properly. We asked for another room (at 11pm) and were at first rebuffed, but eventually they gave us another room. In the new room, the shower curtain rod was falling off the wall. The coat hook was missing... More

Staff was nice and pleasent. The rooms are clean enough. But if you anounce the grand opening on your sign yoo should have it all set and ready for show. They have no decorations, the halls and breakfast area (?) are bare. Made me feel like I was in the middle of a remodel. The breakfast area needs work. The... More
