Great outdoor dining with a great view.They also allow dogs on the patio.Turkey Panini was awesome.The only negative is expense.

A fantastic location. The food is decent—the main selling point is the location on the water and the fact that the food is very affordable compared to the rest of the restaurants on the island. Unfortunately they never seem to be open when we visit the island lately. There is always a sign saying they’ll open at 11 AM, but it never opens. It’s very frustrating.

The food has been good and easy in the past for me, as well as the park setting. I'm pretty sad though, because they are so unreliably open, and keep such inconsistent hours that it's hard to ever actually eat there anymore. I have been here three times now for multiple days at a time each, and ever since my first visit they have never been open.

Waited three day to open (opens of Friday) and the service was less than tolerable. All I waited was a Detroit Dog and when I finally got to the window they had no coney sauce.My recommendation if your walking by and you're hungry... keep walk and find somewhere else.

We biked the whole island and ended right at the park and opted to grab hot dogs and burgers since this seemed like a really cheap option considering everything on Mackinac is so expensive. Sometimes, you get what you pay for. Attendant took order no problem, I ordered no drinks mind you, and it took a good 20-30 min to get our simple hot dogs and burgers(think Sam's club pack of 20 burgers with cheese on a bun for $7-8), no lettuce or tomato. They were very crowded at the time and just kept taking orders while the wait line kept getting longer and longer. They do have some interesting hot dog selections which may be a great cheap option to feed a large family. I'm disappointed we wasted time eating such mediocre food when there were so many great other places to eat lunch.

This hotel is overrated and over priced. The room was cramped and old. It smelled like dirty socks. The breakfast was a joke. The front desk woman was rude and could barely get out of her chair to answer one simple question. The WiFi was terrible. The towels were cheap and smelled like bleach. Will never stay here again.
Delicious!!! Got a hamburger and a sugarloaf hotdog. Both were delicious. Fast service and staff was very friendly. Plenty of picnic tables to enjoy a nice lunch in the sun and listen to the waves. Highly recommend and will definitely come back

We made a stop for lunch after biking around the island. My hotdog was excellent. The bun kind of fell apart but I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Nice classic Mackinac Island Hotel, great location a few hundred feet from Star Line dock #2 which we used from St. Ignace. Our two queen room was spacious and comfortable, the beds were very firm which my wife didn’t enjoy as much as me. We had a view of the garden and partial street. Porch was fantastic, particularly for morning sun. Bathroom was modern and great water pressure. Check in and out was easy. Small things kept it from a 5. No fridge, which was not great for leftovers, no TV - but did stream from wifi. The ceiling leaked into the bathroom and the area around our toilet was soaked. When I reported this it was said that had been happening since May (a few times) and I think they should have figured that out after the first couple times. At least it wasn’t toilet water. We would return.

Very nice beach, all rocks. The water is crystal clear and the waves were crazy. Saw kids swimming but there is no swimming because of the strong currents and the waves. Good place to relax and take in the great scenery.

We were able to stay last minute. They were super nice and accommodating. Room was cute and clean. Beds were super comfy! Perfect location at the edge of main strip and beautiful view from porch! One of the more affordable options and will definitely stay here again!
