Sunrise Beach Motel

The pool was closed. The parking is tricky. The ice machine did not work. Our balcony door was difficult to open. The check-in guy was nice, the bed was comfortable and the view was pretty.

The floor was very sticky and filthy. There was trash on the floor under the table... not good for dogs or children. The ice machine was broken and according to the people next door who had been there all week it was broken when they got there. The pool had been drained so... there was no pool. On the positive side it was right on the water and the first floor rooms had great porches!

The view was nice The sliding glass door lock did not work. The entry way door had to kick it open or hard shoulder it. Parking was tight for big vehicles. The pool was green.

The updated room was nice, but there should be a door at the entrance where the sink is. The pool was ice cold and hot tub floor was flaking off. Also, the jets in the hot tub were very weak and there were no bubbles at all. There aren't enough parking spaces and it is very hard to get out as the parking is angled with no room to back out. The view was nice, but we spent too much on this hotel.

Room was clean, fair price, great location. Loved having a room with balcony overlooking the lake, it was worth the extra money for the view I would definitely stay here again Only negatives were: ice machine was not working, pool did not appear swimmable to me

The property was fine, but the doors were definitely not secure which could have posed an issue, we loved the views and the access to the lake, the pool was out of commission our entire stay which is a big deal for the kids.

Stay was not terrible but has bigger potential. Pool needs serious work. Still enjoyed ourselves. Views made it all worth it!

The first room had mold and spider webs everywhere. The transferred room had mildew on the shower curtain. The pool was green and the hot tub felt like Lake Michigan in September. Do not recommend. The housekeeper was very friendly.

Family owned , freindly. Location of room on water was great. we had a ground floor room with covered patio overlooking Lake Huron. Individual Fire pit on grass outside the room, then sand beach with lounge chairs. Nighttime views of the lights on the Mackinaw Bridge and Mackinaw Island were fabulous. Simple accomadation but comfortable

This hotel was good for sleeping but don’t expect much else. They were draining the pool when we visited and upon check-in they didn’t inform us of this but we overheard another guest asking about waterpark passes and we then found out they were offering complimentary passes to a nearby hotel, but this was not offered to us, we had to ask. We ended up using the other hotel’s beach more than this one because it was cleaner. The balconies were very nice and the view was wonderful! Rooms were clean and beds were nice. If you call Shepler’s ferry their free shuttle will actually pick you up at the motel which was very nice. Also very convenient location to most things downtown mackinaw. If you’re just using the motel for sleeping and not much else then it’ll get the job done.

The place was very dirty, I actually wanted to leave after seeing it but they make you sign at the desk if you cancel you will still have to pay. The view to see the Mackinaw Bridge was the only saving grace. The shower had rust stains & still had the used bar soap from a previous customer. The shower curtain had mold & rust on it. The bedding was awful , the blanket had spots on it. All & all it was terrible and I would advise against staying there.

Tried to walk to the lakefront and there was dog feces all around the grounds. The air conditioner kept fluctuating because they’re using an extension cord block and even THAT switch was under the cord! The first thing I saw was a spider under the sheets. There was a bottle (empty)of shampoo on the shower floor. I used water shoes in the shower because that had mold and who knows what on the floor. These people haven’t invested a dime on these units since the 70’s.

I was VERY disappointed in this property. The ceiling of our bathroom was literally peeling off with big chunks missing, the room wasn’t properly cleaned prior to our check in (dirty floors throughout, unclean glass, and icky bathroom), our bathtub wouldn’t drain correctly, there were literal webs with bugs inside of the room, they literally left us with one tiny bottle of shampoo in the bathroom (we had three travelers…) and no soap of any sort for the sink, and finally they didn’t give us additional towels (even when asked multiple times and promised they would be brought up). The only good thing was the view of the bridge. Save your time and money and book somewhere else. I don’t normally leave reviews, but this time I thought it might save another family from the same fate. This place also owns a couple other properties right next to this one so beware of that also.

The first room had mold and spider webs everywhere. The transferred room had mildew on the shower curtain. The pool was green and the hot tub felt like Lake Michigan in September. Do not recommend. The housekeeper was very friendly.

Tiny, smelly. One room has moldy baseboards around the shower. Another had toilet that hadn't been cleaned in some time, with yellow deposits of some sort below the water line. We'll never go there again.

This property has a beautiful view but the room was dirty. Sliding door to balcony didn’t lock. Balcony screen was ripped. Window in bathroom was broken and taped together. Water in tub was gray. We moved the little table by the beds to plug in charger and was very dirty. Sheets had sand in them. We stayed one night, quick in and out.

Indoor outdoor pool was empty. Stated lightening hit it last week but was so dirty you could tell it hadn't had water in it for a long time. Room was okay but the floor was full of sand. Water in sink and shower was rusty and had a bad smell. Bathroom ceiling peeling and tub surround falling off. Staff was unfriendly and uncaring with complaint about pool. Would not recommend. Just spend a few more dollars and get better accommodations.

The room was dirty. Very dirty and any needed LOTS of maintenance. There were smashed bug remains all over the room. Legs on the bed were broken so the bed is on an incline. All of the issues should’ve been noticed by any staff that went into the room. The outlet was so overloaded it was buzzing and I had to unplug everything just to get the fridge to work. The fridge was full of black mold and the microwave was completely rusted out and unsafe to use. The toilet had urine all over it and around it. The sink had been used prior to my stay and was definitely not cleaned, the dried up toothpaste (?) residue was all over the faucet and in the sink. The extra roll of toilet paper had mold all over the side indicating it had gotten wet at some point and just left there. There were metal flakes all around the faucet that wouldn’t have been there if it had been cleaned. The shower head isn’t tall enough for anyone over 5’4.. the drain cover isn’t attached and the drain is actually just a hole in the bottom of the shower. I ended up leaving a couple days early which was a loss of my money in multiple ways.. definitely don’t recommend, it’s not worth the money you’re “saving”.. the “discount” tickets the hotel offers aren’t discounted at all.. it’s cheaper to buy them on location anywhere you want to go. Staff offered a coupon for a free night in the area which is silly as it would cost more to get there than the “free” night. DON’T BE TEMPTED TO SAVE MONEY STAYING HERE!

Looked nothing like the photos. For the price it's an okay place to sleep for one night, but that's very subjective. As long as you expect no frills & questionable cleanliness. It looked and smelled like I was staying at a divorced deadbeat dad's apartment that hasn't seen a vacuum in 5 years. I think this should have been a $40 motel for what it actually looks like. I think they get away with higher because it's close to the Mackinac Island ferry. But if you're looking for the cheapest possible, I think the bed was clean so I was happy about that.

The pictures are grossly misleading. Pictures show a renovated clean room. We first walked into a room that had NOT been cleaned, (and was not a room even remotely close to the pictures on the website.) We were given a key to an adjoining motel and disgusting doesn't even cover it. Stains on the sheets, dead spiders in the bathroom and water that smelled like a sewage plant!

The room we requested 2 Queen beds on the water front was not available, instead we were given a small house which was under rehab repair, not completed, many things not completed too many to go into details. Had to ask for everything. TV's not plugged in or working-repair man came out about 10:30 pm to fix them. No trash pick up after first night.

Check in was great and the views were, also. Our room was very disappointing. The screen door to the balcony was badly ripped and the handle on the slider was broken. The tub needed replaced and the bathroom window was broken and taped over. The beds felt clean and were very comfortable.

I was nervous after reading the reviews but was pleasantly surprised with our deluxe lake view bridge view room. It is still under renovation so the phone is not able to be used. Maintenance man fixed TV and the hot water as soon as I let management know they were not working. The shower is very nice. No housekeeping but we were okay with that. You have to get your towels off the housekeeping cart but not all kinds of towels were on it. We managed. You can go swimming if you don’t mind sharing the beach with the geese and ducks who leave their poo everywhere. We chose not to go to the beach area because of this. The refrigerator was nice to have in the room The motel is conveniently situated so it easy to get to the downtown area and the parks.

We took our dog and enjoyed ourselves had a good time! has the best view of the bridge? Enjoyed the lights on the bridge at night?

Everything fine, unless the internet.

Upgraded to a room with a view. Room was nice but balcony was dirty. Had to wipe down chairs to sit on

Cute little motel on the water with some updates. Rooms are smaller than they look online. Outdoor trash piled up next to our room was not removed for 2.5 days. Many spider webs and bugs not cleaned by outdoor light. TV did not work. Tub had black marks and not clean. Bed was comfortable. Cute cabin wood inside and nice view. Someone was moving tons of furniture above us at 11pm. A/C & heat did not work well and only on one temperature.

Just a heads-up about the room pics, okay? There are two kinds, and the cheap one's kinda rough. The other one's alright, though.

Room was clean and newly remodeled. However, the sliding glass door handle was broken and the heavy drapes had holes in them you could see when they were closed at night. Everyone was friendly, but no amenities. No hair dryer, no iron etc…

The view from the rooms is great. Firepit and beach very nice! The room has been updated nicely (cottage like)… except the bathroom in room! I can deal with the bathroom being old but the cleaners need to clean it better. I also suggest a broom in each room for the sand that is brought in from the beach. The beds have had their day… clean but they need replaced. People on upper level can be heard through the floor all night if they move alot. The manager is awesome though!!! Super friendly!!!! I would go back all in all.

The pool was closed. The parking is tricky. The ice machine did not work. Our balcony door was difficult to open. The check-in guy was nice, the bed was comfortable and the view was pretty.

Room booked was awful. We requested to update our room and the front desk was very helpful and got us a really nice room for more money but it was worth it. We were very happy with our stay there then.

Monique was very helpful and friendly!

Check in was quick and easy. Very friendly at the counter and informative. Gave us coupons to save money on the ferry and breakfast places 2 can dine for 1. Nice inexpensive place to stay right on the water.

We arrived early (12:30-ish) anticipating that a room would not be ready - surprisingly it was but it was on the second floor, and I was recovering from a knee replacement and requested a first-floor room. We were told "no problem" but it would not be ready until later so come back at 4:00 - that worked great for us as we were going to Mackinac Island. We returned to the hotel at 7:10 pm and were given the key to our room., When we got there, it was still being cleaned and the room cleaner said he needed another 20- 30 minutes because no one told him this room was rented out. We went back to the front desk to explain and the woman told us that we would just have to wait in our car until he was done - she said that "housekeeping fell behind" (3 hours behind???). So we waited in our car (motel was 100% booked) - housekeeping said they were done and we unloaded the car - only to find that the door would not lock nor even stay shut. So we went back to the front desk and the same woman came to our room to confirm that, "yes, something is wrong". She had to call maintenance and by the time it was fixed (something was wrong with the door frame weather stripping?) we had waited a full hour and half before we could relax and unwind after a long day. The attitude of the front desk lady was terribly disrespectful - implying that WE were the issue causers when we had nothing to do with it except pay $300 for the night!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Sunrise. Loved our view from the balcony it was just beautiful to have the window open at night and morning. Room and bathroom were nice and clean. Staff was nice as well. I will consider Sunrise Beach Motel in the future and will highly recommended to family and friends if they ever visit Mackinac Island.

Rooms were nice and clean. Great view of the Bridge and awesome little beach for kids to play on. Room were a little small, but no problem for one night. Pool was a little run down and wasn't heated, but kids still went in. Loss of star was our room wasn't ready when we arrived after check out time and at first we were given a key to the wrong sized room. Staff quickly corrected and were very nice.

Long story short, the first person I dealt with was rude and stuck us in a smelly room not much bigger than the closet in our bedroom. The second person was very polite and moved us into a great room in another building. On checkout I was forced to deal with the rude attitude when I asked for a receipt and was given a piece of paper that indicated that I had a balance. My trip was for business. How would it look if I handed the company a receipt saying I didn’t pay? This guy should never have access to the public. I will not be visiting any of the properties owned by this company because of his actions and attitude.

We requested early check in when reserving. We stopped in and were told to return at 3:00 and our room would be ready. We returned at 3:15 and the room wasn't even started to be clean. Every time the desk staff wanted to communicate with housekeeping, she had to go outside and find them. It was a bit of a zoo around 4:00 check in time and we finally got our room about 4:15. The room was outdated but clean and pleasant (bed was hard). The TV did not work.

The property had a nice laid-back feel and is right off Lake Huron, many rooms have a view of the lake which is literally feet away. The rooms have a fridge and a microwave. It is also within walking distance of the boats to Mackinac Island. The staff is great, particularly Monique who checked me in. She was extremely pleasant as well as knowledgeable. I would definitely return and with any luck, maybe Monique will be there👍

Great place to stay on the beach.

They have recently remodeled and it is beautiful. The view was better than a lot of the big name places. It was quiet and right on the beach. I will absolutely come back and look forward to staying here again. We were on the second floor and I was more than pleased with our room, balcony and view. We got there after hours and the staff was incredibly accommodating and kind. 10/10 completely recommend

Our room had a nice view of the bridge..Enjoyed it!!

An older property but just far enough out to be calm and quiet and not inconvenient to the city center and activities.

Room was very clean, freshly redone and adorable. Beds were comfy and the view was great. Within 5 minutes of all major destinations in Mackinaw. Staff was friendly and quick. Would absolutely stay again!

Great stay especially for the price. Location is perfect for exploring the area and the view of the bridge and sunrise are great

It was very relaxing being right on the lake. Had lots of wild life outside the door. Is close to everything you want to do.

The location is fantastic! The staff is very friendly! The price is good. Walk out of your room and wade into the lake. We loved everything about the Sunrise Motel except the room. Smelled musty and is in desperate need of updating. The bathroom doesn’t have a fan so after a shower the whole room feels damp. The toilet seat was very loose. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was clean. Overall we were satisfied with the Sunrise however some minor updates are definitely due.

Nothing close by and no breakfast

Pool was filthy, hot tub not in service and filthy, bathroom ceiling falling down, cobwebs everywhere, no breakfast included that was advertised. The front door did not look safe could see where there was pieces of the trim gone like someone had pryed it open at one time. Light bulbs burned out, and cracked plastic lamp shade. The lock on the sliding glass door was not good and the screen door didn't even have a lock as well as, there was duct tape holding the handle on. The shower curtain was filthy It seems that it needs to be state inspected for safety It was advertised as something that it was not! As far as booking with Hotels.com, I will never recommend anyone using this app and I will be deleting it from my contacts.

Great location, friendly people. The unit needs vending for snacks and coffee. No trash receptacle on premises.

The front desk clerk did give us a great recommendation for dinner
