Ramada By Wyndham Mackinaw City Waterfront

“A nice hotel with good views of the lake and excellent service!”

We really enjoyed our time at the Ramada, staying in the (HUGE) “lake view” Deluxe Suite for 3 nights (with king-size AND queen-size bed and sofa sleeper!) and a “lake front” room (with two queen-sized beds) for 2 nights.

We really enjoyed our time at the Ramada, staying in the (HUGE) “lake view” Deluxe Suite for 3 nights (with king-size AND queen-size bed and sofa sleeper!) and a “lake front” room (with two queen-sized beds) for 2 nights. Both rooms were on the 3rd floor with a balcony. Although the Suite didn’t face the lake, it still had a nice 3/4 panoramic view of Lake Huron, the piers and Mackinaw Island off in the distance. The rooms were clean, tastefully decorated and had everything we needed: a large mini-fridge (nicely concealed in the cabinet), a microwave oven, an iron and ironing board and a coffee maker (with coffee and condiments). Saneika (who went by “Tricia”) was an excellent concierge, who went the extra mile by giving us a smooth transition from one room to the other. She is just a sweetheart, and I really enjoyed getting to know her!! She gave us the coupons for the BOGO breakfasts at two of the restaurants down the street, mentioning, too, that there were also granola bars by the coffee dispensers. I was aware ahead of time that there was no hot breakfast at the hotel, and four out of five days, we ate at Toast A Go-Go, a very enjoyable (and reasonably-priced with the coupon) restaurant down the street. She also gave us flyers with a number of hotels that will give Ramada guests 10% off their meal. I have noticed that some reviewers have been critical of this hotel, and they have that right and maybe it’s justified, but I also know that with every positive comment there are nine negative comments—in all areas of life. This was our first visit to Mackinaw City., and every summer that we return, we will be staying at the Ramada by Wyndham Waterfront.

“Good place to stay on water”

We had a 2nd floor balcony room overlooking parking lot, my parked car and the water. Pool & Hot tub were clean, front desk was helpful.

We had a 2nd floor balcony room overlooking parking lot, my parked car and the water. Pool & Hot tub were clean, front desk was helpful. Room had an overabundance of 'cleaning' smell, but quickly aired out w/ slider to fresh air balcony opened. Very quiet room - other than for some rude motorcyclists revving motors and yelling obscenities to each other across the parking lot (and they were friends?) Bathroom wallpaper in bathroom was separating from wall, but room was in general decent shape, other than stains on carpet. Beds were clean and comfortable. As an FYI: if you rented thru Super.com - they falsely claim this property has free breakfast, IT DOESN'T. Not Ramada's fault. The front desk had 2-for 1 coupons for restaurants w/in walking distance that saved us $21. I would stay again BTW: Beware of "Bedbug" feedback at this or any other hotel. Trust me - if they had bedbugs they would have easily taken and shared pictures as proof. No pictures, no proof, just an easy way to trash a property. One can easily tell if there is an issue prior to checking in; google it.
