    I appreciated the charming decor of the Thunderbird Inn Of Mackinaw City. The lovely breakfast area was bright and inviting, and I found the outdoor access to my room convenient, making it easier for me as a senior traveler.

    More accessible seating options in common areas would help.

    Good choice for walking around Mackinaw City and it’s decent value for the price. The blow dryer was super outdated and took forever to work. I’d recommend bringing your own if you need it fast.

    I really loved the hot tub in our Queen Room. it made every evening super relaxing! The only downside was the key card issues that caused a bit of frustration during our stay. 😕

    Couple getaway, good for convenience seekers

    We stayed just one night and the room was very clean and quiet, which was a relief after a long drive. The guy at check-in was super friendly and had our room ready, no waiting around. Breakfast wasn’t gourmet but it had hot choices and I appreciated the nice, talkative lady keeping everything stocked up.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but I guess that's to be expected these days.

    great spot for weekend strolls and nearby attractions

    I stayed here for three nights and loved how easy it was to walk to the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse and beautiful Gary R Williams Memorial Park, making my city explorations super enjoyable and stress-free. the friendly staff made checking in a breeze, too.

    cozy queen bed

    Cozy queen bed made sleeping comfortable.

    The door to our room was not sealed well, letting in bugs and light. I reported it, but the front desk seemed dismissive. Overall, the cleanliness was questionable as there were visible stains and the bathroom needed serious attention.

    The room was pristine, featuring a cozy queen bed and a mini-fridge that kept our drinks cold. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially when I needed assistance with my presentation equipment. The location was perfect for accessing nearby attractions and offered a peaceful atmosphere for work.

    Breakfast options were limited and not replenished promptly.

    A great experience with friendly staff and a fantastic location, making it easy to walk to the beach. The room was clean, comfortable, and came with pleasant-smelling toiletries. However, the breakfast was limited, and options ran out quickly, and the Wi-Fi connection could be spotty at times. Plus, accessing the pool required a walk across the grounds, which wasn’t ideal in the chilly weather.

    We had a fabulous time at this family-friendly spot! The kids loved the playground, and we found ourselves enjoying the seasonal indoor pool and all the fun activities nearby, including Animal Tracks Adventure Golf. The staff made us feel right at home.

    My kids wished there had been a complimentary breakfast option for families.
