Don't be suprised when you get your final check-out Bill. A Local Assessment of 2% is added in addition to the State Sales Tax. One would think they would tell you this at the time of booking a reservation but they do not. more

We were driving up to Mackinac Island from Chicago, and since there isn't really any beach access on the Island, I wanted to try to find something beachy as well as to break up the driving time. We arrived at Sugar Beach and were very pleasantly surprised. I originally reserved a courtview room, but when we arrived, I asked for... more

I love this place! Our family has been traveling here since the opening. What a Michigan treasure. Since our initial stay, we have let our friends in on this great place. I have traveled the world and the staff and accomdations are top notch. Way to go guys@ Keep it up! more

My husband and I stayed here one night to visit the wineries on Old Mission Peninsula. We planned on driving to Mackinaw Island the next day. We got there quite early, with no reservation and got a great "walk up" rate. They let us check in right away. The room was extremely clean (and I am quite picky) and very... more

Garbage laying around the room; also dusty / cobwebby like it hadn't been cleaned in a while. Even while we were there the room didn't get vacuumed the... more

Cons: 1) Noise level from hallway and other rooms running water are issues (Can wake you up if you are a light... more

This was a great place to stay for the the weekend. We enjoyed the early morning breakfast with great coffee. The hotel rooms were fairly large and clean. My only complaint is that the balcony could have used a good cleaning due to all the bugs that had found a place to die. Other than that the hotel staff was... more

After being shafted by another resort just down the street, my husband and I drove over to the Sugar Beach hoping to find an open room. Not only did they have a room for us, but gave us the same rate that the other hotel was supposed to give us! We had a WONDERFUL beachfront room with a balcony overlooking... more

We stayed at the Sugar Beach for a weekend in March. Seeing as it was March and an extremely cold weekend, we did not use the beach. We had just spent a couple days at Avalance Bay so our boys were not interested in a normal swimming pool. We chose the Sugar Beach because my husband and I had stayed... more
