Hotels near The Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House & Insect World

"Hotel stay was good, the breakfast was good, the pool room was nice and warm and the water was nice! My only complaint is that the front desk staff lied to my husband and myself on separate occasions about restaurants open in the area. They said the only restaurant open was The Dixie Saloon and while we were out we found several restaurants open. We were told by a waitress at Audie’s that the hotel staff is threatened with termination if they recommend any other restaurant. This is extremely unsettling as a patron that we can’t even trust the staff to tell us about restaurants. I don’t like being blatantly lied to so I will not be staying at our dining in any restaurant or hotel affiliated with the Hamilton Inn. "

"No staff on site. Had to go to a different hotel to even check in. Room was filthy. Other parts of hotel were not clean at all. Highly inconvenient in the room they put us in, it was like a maze to get to the room. The no elevator to get our things to the room. "

"Beautiful, clean, safe, great breakfast, helpful staff."

"Breakfast cold. Pool close. No soap or shampoo on the room "

"This place was absolutely perfect to call home for the night! I went at the end of March so it was very cold and a lot of the shops were still closed for the season but I loved every bit of the island and this lodge luckily stays open year round which saved my butt! This place is clean, quiet, comfy, so so close to the water and right downtown where all the good stuff is! I’d stay here over and over again. The staff was so very friendly and helpful, we were thrilled with our stay!"

"Room was clean and priced right for our one-night stay. We didn't use the pool. We opted to not use the shower because I didn't want to step-over the tub wall, even though there were good grab bars. I showered at home later. Bathroom was OK, but lacked a place to set our toiletries bag, toothbrushes, etc. The sink had narrow, slightly tilted edges, so hardly anything would stay in place. A shelf in the bathroom would be a big improvement. The hot water took a loooong time to get hot but eventually did get hot. Long supply line?"

"Place was average as expected. We used the jacuzzi in the room and got a rude nock two times on the door from the guy at the front desk wanted to now if something was going on in the room because the room next door was complaining! Second time where told we could not use the tub anymore!!! The pool area was filthy. When we checked out the guy next store from us was complaining and was given a large discount! We were told since we booked through Expedia we could not be compensated? Probably would not stay there again!"

"We stayed in mid October 2025 and would definitely go back. "

"Very nice place to stay, it was clean and quiet. The staff was nice and friendly. "
