Bridgeview Motel

The pool was very dirty, thankfully it wasn’t hot. The room was OK, beautiful view.

This hotel and the surrounding properties have so much potential, but it seems like the ownership just does not care to maintain the space. I mean, it was a room. Obviously recently “remodeled” with the wood panel walls, but that’s it. The beach area was covered with poop- it could have easily been raked- the balcony was covered in moss, there was no cleaning service unless requested, the pool looked to be in terrible condition. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Room was clean and newly remodeled. Staff was courteous and helpful. My only two gripes are that the one lamp in my room was broke and couldn't be used. And that the pools and hottub were over filled so the skimmer basket was useless and there was debris and some dead bugs floating in them. There was an employee with a net skimming the top trying to keep it clean but would have been better if they weren't over filled. I would definitely stay there again though.

The property and room were clean, and the view was spectacular. Our bed was a bit uncomfortable, but not horrible. It was a little confusing because check in was at a different hotel. Our biggest complaint is how dark the parking lot is.

Ice machine was broken, indoor pool was drained and not working, no lights outside our building.

No lights in the parking lot, no water in the pool. The person at check in had gold teeth. We didn't stay there. I recommend you don't either.

Beds were very comfy, very clean, fire pits are nice, great view of bridge from beach. Confusion when booking as there are 4 properties linked and not all have the amenities listed (hot tub, pool). Built in hangers stick out into the hallway and pose a hazard, especially in the dark. Sink was blasting water - could probably use a new aerator. Water pressure good, nice towels, nice toiletries. Great price!

The sheet and towels were clean. As for the rest of the place, not really. Dirty fridges and microwaves. Under the beds were items from years past renters. Tried to remodel the property but doors did not even line up enough to lock the door. Putting flooring over a rotten floor does not count as a remodel. Dirty outside as well as inside. Staff was not very welcoming. Could not even get a password for the wifi. Pools looked dirty. Hot tub water was poop brown. Wall were paper thin. Could hear everything that the upstairs guest was doing! Dogs barking at night. Alarms going off in the middle of the night called the desk and they said "Hope it goes off soon". Do not come here. Pay extra and go somewhere nice.

The room was great and large. The room was remodeled in a rustic look and had the feel of being in a cabin. However the grounds couldve been in better shape, as the pool and hot tub had cracks and chuncks missing from the lining along with the hot tub not working. The beach area in front of the property couldve been better as it wasnt enough of it and alot of overgrowth of tall grass and almost swampy looking. Great views for sure!

Great view of bridge, was upgraded to sunrise motels with private fire pits and nice beach

The view and hot shower were great. The carpet was very dirty and the room had cobwebs all around the ceilings with bugs caught in them.

We liked Bridge View Motel. We will stay there again next time we are in the area. Clean fresh room and Lake front. Helpful and friendly front desk

Floors were filthy, furniture was old. Non working smoke detector, no non slip material in tub/ shower. Trash in yard. We will stay here again

The bathroom was not clean at all, we layed a towel on the shower floor. Beautiful view, right on the lake.

The room was very clean

Very very dirty as soon as we walked in, essentiallythe floors. Our daughter walked for only a few minutes and here feet were crazy black. We were very confused, then figured out all our feet were black from the dirty floor. We asked management to clean our room the next day. They never got to it. They only cleaned it the day before we had to leave from our 3 night stay. Very not professional.

Our room smelled like varnish, dirty floors, no TP stick holder, had to use the handle on the crank out window to hold the TP. Spent three nights and no one ever came to clean. The beach aera was littered with bottles and cans and weeds!! Would never go back and would definitely never recommend it!

When we arrived, we had to walk to a neighboring hotel to check in. One guy was taking care of 4 motels, including ours. He gave us our room key, we walk back to our room only to find it completely dirty from the last persons stay. So we walked back to the first hotel and got keys to a clean room. During the walk I picked up 4 nails and screws in the parking lot. We didn’t think our room had any hot water, we had to let it run about 15 minutes before it started to get a little warm and we took lukewarm showers both mornings of our stay. Our mini fridge had black mold in it. It appeared the room had been recently renovated with flooring and knotty pine walls but the fixtures and everything else were old. We found cob webs in the corner of the room. We couldn’t use the slider on our balcony because the screen was ripped out of it. We went to turn on our lamp only to realize there was no lightbulb in it. Definitely not impressed and won’t be back

Went to stay here for 2 nights. Arrived late at night and they left the key in the mailbox. Went into room and there was cob webs in every corner, I had to kill 9 giant spiders (seen in pictures) I used a coat handed to twirl up the cob webs. There was tissue stuffed in the window a/c unit (fully view of the outside/draft). The shower didn’t drain. Tried to go to office to talk to and no one was there. Called multiple times to get a different room no one answered. It was late so we had to stay the one night. I was in the phone with Expedia trying to cancel tomorrows night cause we couldn’t stay another night in these conditions. In the morning, was told I need to go to management to get a refund for the following night. And I had to drive to different hotels with a sign on the door saying go to this location, once you got to that location had to go to the other location. Once arrived had to wait for someone to arrive and she was extremely unprofessional and rude. Not to be mean but she was straight “white trash” and Her face was wrinkled up and stuck up not to because she already knew she wasn’t going to accommodate her guest and said you need to cancel 3 days prior to your stay. How were we suppose to know the room was going to be this poor of condition and then can’t cancel the following night. Total scam to have a policy in place that you need to cancel 3 days prior when you can see the condition of the room until you get there. The pictures are false advertising.

The bed was NOT MADE in the first room we were given. The second room air conditioner ran loud

Bridge View Motel was quiet and clean. The beds were uncomfortable. The small AC unit could not keep up with the 90 degree days. There were lots of deferred maintenance issues around the property. Door and light fixtures were damaged, we were unable to open the slider for ventilation as the screen was missing. The outdoor amenities listed were not available, the pool was green and had a patio umbrella floating in it for two days. Housekeeping staff were great, linens were nice, but be sure to bring your own toilet paper.

We booked a king room with a beach/bridge view the same day as check in. We arrived late at night and the area was poorly lit, and check in at our motel was actually next door at the neighboring facility (not a big deal, I assume it’s late in the season so they are condensing properties and staff). The check in “lobby” was pretty gross, dirty, and dated and had me nervous for the condition of our room but I was pleasantly surprised. While dated for sure, the room was big, clean, had updated hard flooring and cedar wall paneling. It had a nice clean smell and had everything we needed for a good nights sleep. The view was amazing. Would definitely stay again.

I would not stay here again. The ice machine was broken all during our stay. Bathroom fan/ light fixture made a horrible sound when turned on. Room was so dark it was nearly impossible to read. The ceiling light did not work. Old window a/c unit in bathroom barely cooled the entire room and was noisy. Stay somewhere else!

Arrived after check-in hours, so we had to check in at a sister hotel just down the road. We were not provided a map of the hotel, had to search for our room in the dark, the light outside our door did not work. Other than that, the room was acceptably clean. Furniture was dated. Location was great!

Definitely no-frill, which is fine. There were lots of spiders and webs, rusting door hinges, underpowered and veNot "dirty" but not well-kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful.ry poorly installed AC unit.

First off, I would recommend. Here's a breakdown. Pros: -Good rates compared to other hotels. -Great location. It was right on the water and looking out our sliding door was the bridge, freighters and ferries. -Room was remodeled. It had a fridge with freezer, a coffee maker and a microwave as well. -It was quiet. I could hear the waves from my room too. -The beds and pillows were comfortable. Also there were many pillows with two levels of firmness. -Staff was nice and helpful. -Perks like games to borrow, and a fire pit right outside our sliding door, were nice. Cons: -Pool seemed to need some attention and the hot tub was not hot. -Some small things: Some epoxy or polyurethane looked to be dripped on the tub during remodel. The screen door had some small rips. The bathroom door was hard to close. Overall, I was glad we booked the place. I wanted to be right on the water with a nice beach. I didn't care about having a pool or complementary breakfast. I cared more about having a nice comfortable room, with the perks I needed and wanted. This place had those things.

Room was a bit small but liked the pine board siding. The lake was 30 feet from the room door so great views of lake Huron and the bridge! The fire pits were a great feature also. Only downside was the bathtub drained slowly.

We stayed in updated room facing the water. The rooms was nice, but beds need to be updated. It was clean. The plumbing not so great for the toilet. View was gorgeous.

This is a scam. They have multiple properties. When you show up, they tell you the property you booked is full and push you to a cheaper property they own. The replacement property was a drive away. We signed the replacement paperwork, big mistake. The replacement property was terrible and they refused a refund. We went to the parking lot and called the original property they said was full. They told us at least 2 rooms were available. This was right after they told us the property was overbooked. So basically, they collect higher rates from the nicer property and then give you a room in the cheaper property. Scam. Avoid.

Manager wasn’t very unprofessional and didn’t give two s**** that I had to wait an extra 90 minutes to check in. Will never give that place my money again.

I rarely write a review, but I felt so cheated. So it's partly my own fault, I didn't want to pay to inflated prices in the Mackinaw area, so I settled for the cheapest price - 129 for Friday, 159 for Saturday. The property is tired, dated and run down. The carpets are stained, the mattresses were new in 1980 and uncomfortable. None of the pillows matched and they were all super old as was the polyester bedspread from 1990. That being said, they were clean and no bed bugs, I I had nightmares of bugs. No care is put into the maintenance of the property for example the deck hasn't been painted in years and weeds are growing up through it, the exterior could use a power wash. The outside pool was green. The service was lousy - was turned away for check in (which is located at a different hotel down the street) at 4 and not able to check in until 630pm. No compensation or discount. I realized when I got to my room that they didn't give me the wifi password. I went back to the front desk and was reluctantly given it. I gave the password to two other guests because they are in the same boat. But, the wifi didn't work in my room, I had to stand in the parking lot to get reception. I would have called the front desk, but there was no phones in the rooms. When I went to the front desk to get the password, I heard another guest getting a waiver for a waterpark that was included in the room, so I asked for one also, and was given it. If you don't ask, they won't tell you, there are 2

Great view of the Mackinac Bridge. Staff was very friendly and helpful

After reading the reviews we were a little nervous, but as soon as we arrived the front desk staff was amazing, and they even quickly accommodated for our puppy and a last minute additional night stay! The rooms were newly renovated, and very spacious! We even got a little gift for staying with them! Totally recommend!

Very basic, mediocre property. Staff at check in and out were very helpful. Nice location lake side but room was just OK.

Very. Accommodating staff person. He went above and beyond to help and make us feel welcome.

Friendly staff,clean rooms, private and more quiet then the one's closer to the main strip. We would book again!

I liked that this property was right on the water. It had a beautiful view of the bridge it was close to town and the room looked remodeled. Not sure why, but the floor was very slippery and my socks were filthy on walking on the floor. It’s almost as if they put Something to make the floor shiny. it actually felt dangerously slippery to walk on. I wiped it off and my towel was really dirty. The beds were pretty comfortable and I did hear the people upstairs walking around and that was not fun, but I put the fan on and that helped. .

Great view of the Mackinaw Bridge and one of the Great Lakes

Nice location. Clean and beds comfortable. Beautiful views of lake

Had a pretty good stay! The hotel was clean, felt very safe, and was wonderfully quiet. The beach was nice and relaxing.

Awesome view of the bridge. Being right on the water was exactly why i chose this location. The price was very budget friendly for our quick overnight stay.

We loved the view from our room straight out to Lake Huron. The room was newly remodeled and clean. Close to everything. Be sure to do the Lumberjack show just down the road at Jack Pine.

We really enjoyed our room. The beds were comfortable. We had a nice view of the bridge, and the hotel is so close to everything in Mackinaw City.

Very nice and quiet! Great veiw of the lake and bridge. Within walking distance of the city

Property was in disrepair screen broken & torn on deck area floors dirty. Beach area muddy and unapproahable. Pool dirty full of debris. No staff on site. No breakfast offered
