I had a delightful stay at the hotel located in Mackinac Island at the end of the Straits of Mackinac within Lake Huron. The rooms were fun and brightly decorated, each with a unique touch, though they could be a little chilly at times. The service was extremely warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The location offered wonderful lawns, gardens, and paths to explore, with the added bonus of high tea in the parlor. However, the dining options were limited, and the furniture in some areas needed upgrading.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nicely decorated, and the lake view from the third floor was stunning, but the view of the A/C unit and the fridge not being on were minor letdowns. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to assist us. The location was truly amazing, with beautiful gardens and stunning views, although some areas lacked maintenance. The dining options were fabulous, offering a variety of dishes, but the breakfast selection was a bit limited. The facilities were adequate but could use some updates.

The hotel is a true gem, from the gorgeous surroundings to the friendly staff to the grand dining room. The rooms are comfortable, but the lack of variety in the meal options is a downside.

The hotel is a gem with wonderful lawns, gardens, and paths to walk, bike rentals, a pool, and a spa to relax after dinner. The rooms are smaller but elegant, with a lovely view overlooking the bike rental. However, they could use some help in terms of space. The service was fabulous, with the staff always cleaning and helpful, even though many were new team members. The location is fantastic, making it easy to fall in love with The Grand and Mackinac Island, although it could be improved with better maintenance. The dining was fabulous, offering amazing options both from the menu and buffet, but it could get pricey as you need to purchase food to access certain activities. The facilities are top-notch, with delicious homemade cakes and a beautiful setup.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the view of the rooftop of another building in an interior room was a bit disappointing considering the high rate. On the bright side, the second room I got was spacious with a lovely balcony offering views of the bridge and sunset. The hotel's character with matching wallpaper and drapes was a nice touch, though the coat hanger in the corner was a bit odd.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with delicious food and a wonderful setting on beautiful blue water. Some rooms may lack a view and have poor decoration. The service is friendly, although some unnecessary extras are provided. The location in Mackinac Island at the Straits of Mackinac offers stunning views but may be getting somewhat stale.
