About Mackinaw City!
Explore Mackinaw City
Mackinaw City is a city located in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. With over 20,000 residents, it's one of the most populous cities in the state. It was originally founded as a trading post in 1819 and became a town in 1887. Today, it's known for its many tourist attractions, including its beautiful lakefront and numerous shops and restaurants.
The city is home to Fort Michilimackinac and Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse, as well as Headlands International Dark Sky Park.
Fort Michilimackinac was built by the French in the 17th century and was the first European settlement in what would become Michigan. The fort was later fortified by the British and used during the American Revolutionary War. The buildings at the fort are now open to the public and include a Visitors Center, a military museum, and a ranger station.Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse is one of Michigan's most iconic landmarks.
The lighthouse was established in 1825 and is the tallest light tower in the state. Today, visitors can climb to the top of the lighthouse for 360-degree views of Lake Huron and Mackinac Island. Headlands International Dark Sky Park is one of only a few parks in North America designated as an International Dark Sky Park.
This designation means that it has proven to be an excellent location for stargazing due to its minimal light pollution. Headlands International Dark Sky Park is also home to a number of wildlife species that live in the park, including deer, coyotes, and bobcats.

We checked in and checked out in about 5 minutes after taking a walk around to see the pool area. Liked: Didnt end up staying at this property. Disliked: Room was clean but the smell was really bad. The pool area had hoses all around it going into the pool and the water was green. Went to the front desk to ask for a refund but that wasnt possible.

I would never recommend this place. Liked: Staff at the check in desk were friendly and the room had a mini fridge/microwave, but unfortunately that’s where the positives end. Disliked: The room was run down and dirty. Cigarette ashes left in the ice bucket. Hair and general dirt all over the bathroom floor. There were stains on the pillowcases and comforter. Bloodstains on the wall in the bathroom and cobwebs on the ceilings. The window screen was bent on the side like someone had tried to break in at some point, and the window was unlocked. Non-functional WiFi. It didn’t show on the list of available networks at any point, and the ones for the hotels next door were out of range.

Liked: The mattresses were so comfortable! I was amazed, as my family owns a mattress store, and it felt as though I was sleeping on my own bed at home. Thank you!
