The Beach House

The Beach House

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our 2-night getaway. The free upgrade upon arrival was such a generous touch! The cabin is definitely older with a bit of a quirky layout, but it was very clean and well-maintained. Since we were out exploring the beautiful surrounding area all day anyway, it was the perfect clean, quiet spot to crash at night."

8/10 Good
"Very convenient, near the Mackinac bridge. We were in room 422. I recommend requesting this one! Unbelievable sunrise, balcony. Somewhat odd path to get to this building, but absolutely worth the trouble. Comfortable bed. Odd pillows and no additional bedding, of which it had appeared to be fresh and clean. The room hadn't been dusted or potentially vacuumed in sometime. But it was spacious and had everything needed for a one-night stay. I would definitely stay in this room again, I cannot say one of the ones without the view would be worth it however. Tried to include pictures but app won't cooperate."

"The room was very clean and everything worked fine. The only issue was the beds. They were very firm. Our preference is a little less firm to soft. I will recommend the hotel, with a caution about the firmness of the beds."
