    Expedia Verified Review…
    5/5
    I was looking for a pet-friendly hotel near Mackinaw City and found this one. The hotel is located just 2 blocks from the bridge, so it was nice to be able to walk my dog to and from the park near the bridge. Almost all restaurants and shops were closed due to COVID, but many restaurants were doing take-out or delivery. The hotel was clean, even for being a pet-friendly hotel. We had to stay on the first floor since those were the pet-friendly rooms, so our view was not the greatest, but this didn't matter to me.…

    The room in the clock tower was too small for five people. The food was great although my mid-rare steak was more rare than I liked at the 40 Acres Tavern. There was blood all over my plate. Loved the Alpine Lounge. It was fun dancing there and the Valentine's Day bar crawl provided a lot of entertainment for us one night.…
