I had a pretty good stay at Lake View Hotel, where the staff was super friendly and the location couldn't be better. My room was spacious and clean, perfect for relaxing after a day out. However, I was disappointed with the breakfast – it just didn't meet my expectations this time around, and it was a bummer. Overall, it was a nice experience but there's room for improvement.

My room was very large and clean, featuring comfy beds and a nice TV. I enjoyed the Keurig coffee maker in my room and the hot cider options available at the front desk. However, I would have liked a table and chairs for playing cards.

The breakfast this time around was a letdown. Items brought to my door weren't the best, with warm yogurt and not-so-good fruit. I wish they had better options available.

The indoor pool area was beautiful and clean. It was a nice spot to unwind after a long day, even though it got a bit noisy during the pool hours.

I had a mix of experiences during my stay at the Lake View Hotel. While the staff was friendly and the location was perfect for exploring Mackinac Island's shops, my stay was marred by disappointing breakfast options and some noise issues from the Great Turtle bar nearby. The indoor pool area felt a bit cramped and could use better supervision. Overall, the hotel had charm with its historic decor, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

Rooms

The staff mostly came off as friendly and helpful, which really enhanced my experience. They accommodated my request for early check-in, but some front desk staff seemed a bit apathetic at times.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right across from the ferry and a stone's throw from downtown. It made it super easy to access restaurants and shops, but I did have a bit of noise from the bar below.

Breakfast was a bit of a letdown, as it wasn't what I expected considering the room rates. While it was convenient to have it delivered, the quality just didn't match up, and I often found the items lacking.

The indoor pool was clean, which is a plus, but I found it quite small and not well-supervised. I noticed some guests being rowdy, and it felt a bit chaotic at times.

During my stay at Lake View Hotel, I appreciated the charming historic decor and the prime location just off Main Street. However, I experienced noise disturbances from the nearby bar, and the pool area was quite chaotic, especially with unsupervised children. Overall, my stay was pleasant, but a few improvements could significantly enhance the experience.

I loved the location as it was close to the shops and ferry docks, making it easy to explore the area. However, the noise from the bar across the street was a drawback, especially late at night.

The breakfast options were adequate but could have been improved - the orange juice was particularly unappealing. There was a nice variety otherwise, which I appreciated.

The indoor pool was not the large, relaxing spot I expected, as it felt cramped and was often busy with unsupervised kids. The cleanliness was fine, but supervision could be improved.

I had a mixed experience at Lake View Hotel. On the plus side, the service was super friendly, and I loved the charming decor in my room. However, I ran into some issues, like lukewarm water in the shower and the bathroom not being fully wheelchair accessible, which was a letdown for the price I paid.

Rooms

6.0

My room was nicely decorated and spacious with a king-sized bed, but the bathroom had a narrow door that made it hard for wheelchair access. The second room was also smaller and lacked a dining table, which wasn't ideal.

The staff were really helpful and kind, especially during check-in. They even moved me to another room when I had accessibility concerns. I appreciated their attentiveness when I mentioned the water issue at checkout.

I didn’t eat at the hotel much since breakfast choices were limited to breads and cereals. Even though there was an omelet station, I would’ve liked more meal options.

The indoor pool area was clean and inviting, which I enjoyed after a long day out, but the WiFi was down for most of the morning, which was inconvenient.

During my three-night stay at Lake View Hotel, I appreciated the charming historic decor and spacious room, which was clean and comfortable. However, I found the WiFi connection terrible, and although the breakfast was convenient, it was quite basic. The location proved to be ideal for exploring Mackinac Island, as it was right near the ferry and Main Street attractions.
