9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (25 reviews)
"We loved staying in the Mackinac Palace! We appreciated the quietness of being in Saint Ignace. The house was clean, spacious and accommodated our family very nicely. The location allowed us to walk the boardwalk with ease, was within walking distance to get on the ferry, and the view from our place was amazing! I would highly recommend staying here! "

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

10/10 Excellent
"My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Hamilton. We were only there for one night, but we will definitely be returning for our next Mackinaw adventure. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was very clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable. The kids especially enjoyed spending time in the pool in the evening. The complimentary breakfast was a nice bonus and had everything we needed before heading out for the day. I highly recommend staying at the Hamilton if you’re ever in the area! "
