We arrived in Mackinaw City with no reservation. Stopped at the Best Western Dockside and inquired at the front desk about getting 2 rooms with a view of the lake. We were informed that they were booked and offered to contact other hotels for us. I have never had a hotel offer that before. The young front desk non american... More

We checked in and the desk clerks were not welcoming at all and not informative of anything to do in the area. they could only give you one key and it was the old turnkey type. the tv's were only 20" and the room smelled very stagnated and mildewy. beach was not maintained properly they did not have a foot...

We had a reservation for a different hotel but because of a water main leak we were moved to the Fairview. The room was clean but very outdated....mattresses had springs coming up. The walls were paper thin so you could hear everything. If you are interested in tv they provide a 19 in oldie. There were no extra outlets for... More

We stayed here one night prior to visiting the island for the week. The room was basic, but clean. We arrived early and we were able to get an early check-in. The kids liked the 3 water parks that were available to guests. Breakfast was in the hotel next door- the waffle maker was a hit with the kids. Definitely... More

We just stayed at this hotel last week. At first it seemed nice and affordable, and the view is very pleasing. The shared waterparks was nice, giving us more variety and adventure during our stay. However, the room was less then desirable. The bathroom door was swelled and damaged on the bottom preventing it from being shut properly. This wasn't... More

Hotel was good value for the price. It had a great view of Lake Huron and Mackinac Island. The balcony room was as pictured. Room was clean. The breakfast which was at the hotel next door was the best variety I have seen and was as close any other hotel's breakfast room. We would stay here again. More

When we called for reservations we asked for either handicap accessible rooms or an elevator and were told there was an elevator. When we got there, we learned no elevator so we couldn't have the balcony room we reserved. After a lot of hemming and hawing by the front desk clertks, we were put into a courtside room (courtside =... More

The beach was dirty; my son cut his foot open in the sand in front of the hotel. The room was clean, beds were comfy. The hotel complex was run down and dirty. The staff was rude and not helpful. The splashpad is a joke and so is the indoor pool. I wouldn't stay here again - More

This place went by the name of "Fairview Beachfront Inn" when we stayed here. This was a great place for the price. We were in a large group and rented 5 rooms for 2 nights. All 5 of the rooms were reasonably clean and the facilities well kept. They did however mess up our reservations, but they made it right... More
