The room never did get warm, carpet was stained pretty bad, and there was a can of ready whip in the refrigerator from the last guest’s escapade. Did not use the jetted tub as we were unsure of how much DNA was sprayed all over the place.

Property was not maintained, parking lot full of ice and walkways full of snow. Staff was nice and tried to be helpful. Pool was filling with a garden hose not available during stay, but they sent you to differnt hotel to use there dirty pool. Hotel is falling apart, you can roting wood and flooded down stair walkways. Breakfast was exceptable. If you have a chance to go for the day in mackinaw, stay somewhere else.
