The guests above us sound like storm troopers stoping up a down the room all night keep is awake for two nights. We had a family emergency and had to leave prior to our check out by 1 day for a funeral. Hotels.com and the hotel both gave us lip service only acting like they would try to refund us the night but both did nothing to help us. The breakfast is disappointing at best and the pool was out of order our whole stay.

The facility is a bit dated but they have an excellent staff, the breakfast is good, they give a Shepler’s Ferry discount. I wished the system was updated where tipping could be done electronically- so please bring cash to tip the service folks. This hotel is not next to the lake. It’s across a busy road from the lake.

The property is spread across several parcels of land which made us feel disconnected from using the pool, getting breakfast, and getting a fresh cup of coffee. Because it was raining and didn’t feel like driving to find a spot closer to the office we had to run with our bathing suits on across a price of property that said private residence. The pool and hot tub were nice but then had to run back to our rooms again in our bathing suits. The recommendation for dinner was great but service was very slow!

We arrived late and could smell the campfire they had going in the yard. Nice touch. Spotless clean room with comfy beds if a bit outdated. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again.

Most disgusting hotel I have ever seen. The room was filthy. Urine stains in several areas and I only went 3ft into the room. Lamp broken and could have electrocuted someone, went to switch it on and it fell over with exposed wires. A/C unit was not installed properly and I could see and hear the outside via 1-2”gaps on each side. Which would also allow bugs to get in. This hotel was deplorable. They wouldn’t issue refund and Expedia didn’t fight for me. This lodge should be reported to the health dept. Hope this honest review gets posted. Absolutely disgusting. Oh and they did offer me a different room. Why would I even stay in any room when the initial one they offered me was supposed to be satisfactory to them? I drove 5hrs back home instead of staying. They said “we offered her a new room” as their excuse to not credit me the value. Expedia did give me back my key cash. I will file an insurance claim as I did buy that. Buyer beware that Expedia doesn’t fight for you. They each point the finger back at the other. Very sad.

Our first room was horrible. Very disgusting and filthy and dark. They switched us to a new room with 2 queens and a baloney. Chairs on baloney were broke, but was happy for the light into the room. Had a larger frig which was nice and brought us a microwave. However tons of hair under the sink. Noise was horrible. You could hear your neighbors on each side with every foot step, but we just turned on the fan to drown it out. Breakfast was average quality, not enough room for people to sit. Poor seating design. Very cheap towels, but was ok. Cable was hard to figure out. Best thing was the ice machine. Will not stay here again.

The beds need to be replaced, they weren’t very comfortable. But the view of the lake made up for it. the hotel provided chairs on the balcony, but the balcony was not private, it was shared with 2 other rooms, which were occupied. The walls are thin and we could here the neighbors below us talking.

I needed a place to stop for the night, and was able to make a reservation at 8pm for a 9pm arrival. The hotel is older, but it was clean, bed was comfortable, and I was able to park my 26ft U-Haul with no problem. The office staff was very helpful, and breakfast & coffee were good, also. Great little spot by the lake, and conveniently located at the I-75 and US Hwy 2 interchange.

Upon arrival, we felt very unsafe, the door to the room did not latch evenly, the mattress was literally crusty, the room smelled moldy, and there was food shoved in the AC vent. We didn't even want to set our bags down. It seriously looked like a place you would catch bedbugs. When we walked in, the beds we unmade. We reported to the staff that we couldn't stay in the room, and by that point we were so icked out, we didn't want to stay there at all, regardless of the room. The night manager said she would put a note and refund us. When we got home, we found there was no refund, and every time I have tried to contact them through Expedia or directly, they hang up on me. Stay far away from this "Lodge" that is barely a motel

This hotel was picked because it was pet friendly. When we got there, the young lady at check in was so nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. It was a great introduction! Then our room was in a great location and there was a very convenient green space for dog walking. My sister and I enjoyed our coffee and bagel for breakfast. Wonderful start to our day.

They said we would get a refund. All they refunded was the pet fee. Right before that, they tried to say we didn't pay the pet fee.

The Cedar Hill Lodge is well situated for all activities in the St. Ignace area. Their staff are extremely friendly and professional and are eager to help with any question or issue. They also sell tickets and offer a free shuttle service to one of the ferries that go to Mackinac Island. I would stay here again.

The location was convenient and room was clean. They do have a shuttle to Mackinaw Island but had to all the front desk to call twice. That is where the good ends. No hot water in the shower and barely in the sink. When explained to the front desk the answer was "Yeah that happens when we are busy" Breakfast was a joke with rubbery eggs and not much to choose from. Would not recommend or stay here again.
