Top Headlands International Dark Sky Park Hotel Reviews

Mackinaw Beach & Bay Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Unbelievably beautiful, spacious and clean rooms. The views were amazing. We enjoyed listening to the waves overnight. The pool area was well maintained and extremely clean. Definitely a must to return!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Mackinaw City/Bridgeview Area

8/10 Good

"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."

Clarion Hotel Mackinaw City Beachfront

8/10 Good

"It was fine for an overnight travel stay. The exterior stair to the upstairs rooms were a bit worn down - anything exterior was probably exposed to the weather. I didn’t use the pool or go to breakfast"

Holiday Inn Express Mackinaw City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and remodeled, breakfast was great, better than expected."

Waterfront Inn - Mackinaw City

8/10 Good

"Loved the beach view, sunrise was amazing. The remote on tv did not work but that was the only thing that was not ok."

Cabins of Mackinaw

8/10 Good

"We stayed in the smaller cabins that are right behind the newer larger looking ones that you can see from out front. They were definitely dated, but still not too bad. It could use some upgrading like tearing the old nasty carpet out and maybe installing hardwood floors, laminate floors, or something along that line. Beyond that everything else was fairly decent did not see any major bugs other than an occasional spider, but that’s to be expected seeing how you’re literally staying in a cabin. Overall, not a bad place to stay for the price."

Baymont by Wyndham Mackinaw City

8/10 Good

"Pleasant stay. Thank you."

Super 8 by Wyndham Mackinaw City/Beachfront Area

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, had a great view out our door, my only complaint was there there was low water pressure in the sink and the shower, the shower was not very hot at all even turned all the way up. The pressure at the bathroom sink was so low it made even brushing your teeth difficult. The balcony carpet was torn up and a trap hazard. But it had three chairs and a table, which are very nice. The view was great. I was still stay here anytime."

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Inn

8/10 Good

"The staff was very helpful."
