What guests think

Across many reviews, Court Plaza Inn & Suites of Mackinaw is praised for its downtown location within walking distance to ferries, shops, and restaurants, offering simple, no-frills lodging that works well for quick stays before or after island trips.

Rooms are generally clean and often spacious, but many are dated with worn fixtures, thin walls, and occasional musty odors or humidity. Amenities are basic: no breakfast, limited in-room appliances (frequently no microwave and sometimes no fridge), and an indoor pool and hot tub that some enjoyed while others found lukewarm, dirty, or with broken jets. Staff interactions are commonly friendly with quick check-in, though housekeeping is on request and Wi-Fi can be weak or unreliable. Expect a no-frills, centrally located stay.

The room was clean and comfortable. The pool was warm and the hot tub was hot. I would stay here again. Great location right downtown near the ferry docks and all of the shops. The front counter was not always staffed. They have an area for breakfast but didn’t offer any while we were there. Not even a pot of coffee. They did add a small fridge to our room at no charge, at our request

It’s a nice motel but they don’t have coffee. Just a little coffee pot with horrible tasting coffee, our room had no refrigerator, but they did have an ice machine, the hot tub isn’t very hot and it was dirty. But the rooms are very nice and seem clean

It is a two story hotel with no elevator. That was a bit of a surprise when we ended up on the second floor. Also, the parking lot is very small. it has enough number of spaces but you may not be able to park right in front of your room to make loading and unloading easier. Wi-Fi was terrible - we had almost no Internet in our room and we certainly couldn’t watch any videos or streaming. Pool closes by 9 PM. Finally, you have to request housekeeping service at check-in. It is assumed that you don’t want it unless you specifically ask for it. Also, make sure you check the fridge to be sure that it’s turned on when you enter your room. On the other hand, the room was very, very clean and huge! Located about two blocks away from the ferry docks.

It’s an old property. Can hear neighboring rooms, a/c didn’t work well and was loud, room smelled musty. It was inexpensive and ok just to sleep a night or two. It did appear to be clean and the location is fantastic for walking to everything. I probably would not stay here again though.

This property has a great downtown Mackinaw City location and was clean. We've been staying here off and on for the last 20+ years and it has become dated over the years. They also stopped offering breakfast while we were there and we also had to ask daily for towels, soap, toliet paper, coffee, etc.

It was very convenient to walk to downtown for ice cream and food, but the rooms are very outdated and smelt very musty the entire weekend. We left the door open a couple hours a day to try and get fresh air in the room but it didn’t help much.

Very friendly staff, however we booked a room with 1 queen size bed, and were put in a room with 2 doubles… not a huge deal but less space in the room. Rooms could use some updates, and a little more cleaning. Great location to downtown and the ferry. Overall not a bad stay.

The hotel is located on the main strip of Mackinaw City. It’s within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, ferry pier, and Mackinaw Crossings. Very convenient location. Considering it is downtown, the hotel was pretty quiet. The room was very clean. This hotel does not offer breakfast, but plenty of places to eat. Drawbacks: No elevator, but the stairs are minimal and not steep. Parking can be tight, especially at the end of the evening when everyone is coming back from activities. Would definitely stay here again!

The motel is located within the town and close to a little mall which takes minutes to walk there. Minutes from the Schepler Ferry so could walk there. Motel was clean. No Continental breakfast which was a bummer. The pool was unaccessible. It was on the property with a hot tub but the motel room key was a different lock so it would've been helpful to be told that at the check in desk.

Both rooms had a window wide open and HVAC set to cool the room with outside weather conditions in low 50 degrees. The bathrooms only had a bar of hand soap, no complimentary shampoo or body wash, and one bath had only a partial box of tissue. The web site said breakfast was available, but no breakfast was available.
