Great location right on the main drag. YOU MUST GET A BALCONY!! The others are island view and there is NO view. We had to for go a king size bed in order to have a balcony and it was SO worth it. The hostess was very nice and didn't charge us for the whole upgrade at check-in. Check-in is... More

Great hotel, views and location! Staff is average, though. We stayed at this hotel during the Republican Leadership Conference, although we did not know the event was in town. The hotel was at the mercy of several conference attendees who apparently have not been out of the house very often. Noise in the hallways and outside our room at 4... More

Lilac is located right in the heart of the "downtown" of Mackinac and you really can't find a better, more central place to be. The hotel is in the traditional style of Mackinac - old and not updated - but that is the charm of Mackinac Island. Our room was large - two rooms, one for sleeping and one to... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lilac Tree. Our room had a balcony with a great view of Main Street and the water. Our room was very spacious and came equipped with a very comfortable king-sized bed, a small frig, a sitting area, nice flat screen t.v., and a marble bathroom complete with a two-person jacuzzi tub. There are... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lilac Tree. Staff was very attentive to our needs. Had problem with balcony sliding door upon check-in: staff was there within five minutes to fix it. An unexpected delight was the milk and cookies brought to our door in the evenings. Great location: our balcony room was perfect to people watch down the Main... More

Stayed two nights at The Lilac Tree, Oct. 9 & 10. Very nice accomodations; attractive; well maintained; courteous staff; had balcony room with nice view of Main Street, horses and people. No restaurants on site, but not a problem as several within easy walking distance. Also, they are owned by same business as The Chippewaw Hotel / Pink Pony and... More

We stayed at the Lilac Tree for two nights with my parents. The location is ideal to watch all of the action on Main Street. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. We had booked inland rooms but worked with Nicki at the front desk (she's awesome-very helpful and patient with my elderly parents) to switch my parents room to... More

The Lilac Tree was the perfect location in Mackinaw! We were right on Main Street the end of September when it wasn't crowded. We sat on our balcony and listened to horse hoofs! We could see the water and the fog roll in and out of the island. The room was very clean and decorated nicely. Everyone was very nice... More
