Top East Bluff Hotel Reviews

Cedar Hill Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and clean. Close to everything. Delicious continental breakfast. Comfortable bed."

Super 8 by Wyndham Bridgeview of Mackinaw City

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Super 8 Bridge in Mackinaw City. Our room was well-appointed. We had a closed in balcony with two comfortable stuffed chairs, so we could view the Mackinaw Bridge in the night without bugs bothering us in excellent seating. The chairs were also put to use during the night when we moved to sleep in them and watch the sun rise. This was room 305, which is just over the main entrance. Other rooms had open balconies. Our three night stay included one night we watched a thunderstorm roll through the UP/St Ignace area, one night with lots of dense fog hanging on the Straits of Mackinaw, so our view was of the Bridge fading into nothingness, and one night that was overcast, however the Bridge was still visible. Our room's bathroom had no scratches on the side moldings and the tub was spotless. The toilet flushed completely each time we used it. The fan was noisier and could use some maintenance, but it was only on when we were in the bathroom so it did not disturb sleep or leisure time in the room. The beds had woodsy headboards and a side table and chairs matched it with a woodsy look, as did the end table between the bed and a dresser. It was a leisurely walk to Fort Michilimackinac on the mainland and to the public beach by the Bridge. Food was within a couple blocks and it is easy and safe to walk to the main tourist areas or ferries to Mackinaw Island from this hotel, if you are a walker. Definitely will stay here again next time!"

Best Western Plus Dockside Waterfront Inn

8/10 Good

"We were extremely happy with our stay. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, the view was amazing, the staff was friendly, the pool Was warm, hot tub was relaxing, the beach was clean, and everything was within walking distance. Loved it. Only thing we wished we had was a microwave. Past that exceeded expectations. We hope to stay there again in the future❤️"

Hamilton Inn Select Beachfront Mackinaw City

8/10 Good

"Location, location, location. Walking distance to ferry and town great. Fireworks just off our balcony was awesome. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast was just okay. A lot of people to feed in a 2 hour window. Very Long lines. I was not sure everyone in line was staying at the hotel."

Inn on Mackinac

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful, historic property- very walkable location- welcoming staff. Our rooms were the least expensive and thus very small- including the bed being so cramped that I hit the side table through out the night. We really appreciated that the Porter met us at the Ferry and took our bags to our room so we could explore Mackinac. I would stay again- but would upgrade to a larger room. Breakfast was coffee, juice, muffins, yogurt, sysco hard boiled eggs, toast, bagels - nothing fancy- but enough to tide you over until lunch - cookies when we checked in were a nice touch."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to East Bluff?

The best time to visit East Bluff is typically during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the outdoors.

During this period, the days are long, and the average temperatures are ideal for activities like hiking, swimming in Lake Michigan, and exploring the Bluff itself. The natural beauty of the area, including the expansive lake views and lush forests, is at its peak.

Couples looking for a relaxing getaway will appreciate the pleasant evenings for dining al fresco or taking strolls along the Bluff's walking paths. Many local establishments are fully open and offer a range of experiences, from quiet dinners to live music.
