Motel Super 8 by Wyndham Bridgeview of Mackinaw City (Mackinaw City, USA)

This Super 8 location sported a quirky, log cabin exterior that really appealed to guests, most of whom were here to enjoy the area’s natural charms and attractions.

Many rooms at this property afforded guests glimpses of the Mackinac Bridge and Lake Huron. Given this property’s budget price point, this beautiful view came as a delightful surprise, but the real draw here was the location. This property put guests within easy reach of downtown Mackinaw City and just steps from the historic Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse.

Those keen for a bargain were quick to note that this motel appeared to be well-priced for its central location, especially in contrast to other nearby properties.

They weren’t rude or unhelpful, but most commented that the staff at this Super 8 location just seemed to lack that special something. Many felt that they could be a bit friendlier to arriving guests.

There were consistent reports here of sheets not being fitted properly onto mattresses. This resulted in linens slipping off in the middle of the night, resulting in disturbed sleep for many, who attempted to remedy the issue by tugging sheets into place in the small hours. While this was annoying, many were more put out by the mattresses here, which seemed to be consistently hard and uncomfortable.

Guests consistently reported issues at this property when trying to book rooms with hot tubs. It’s unclear whether this is simply an issue of supply and demand or a problem with the hotel’s booking system, but many have been left disappointed by the unavailability of this configuration.
