First let me state we are NOT fancy people..just give us a clean, safe room with comfortable beds. This is an old hotel that is being renovated. We arrived on a sunny evening, opened the door and one person said, “Oh, how pretty!” The wood on the walls was beautiful, the room had solid surface floors with nicely made beds and a BEAUTIFUL view of Lake Huron..then things went downhill. Our shoes stuck to the floor. “metal” bathtub looked like it may have had old anti-slip decals which were gone and left “stains” on the tub and the drain for the tub was discolored or possibly rusty.. not sure. Shower head was EXTREMELY low. Bathroom was clean EXCEPT the sticky floor ..plenty of clean towels and toiletries. The smoke detector was hanging loose from the ceiling..there was another device of some kind on a side wall not sure if it a smoke detector. The sliding glass door to our second floor balcony didn’t lock and the security bar appeared to have its end broken off so it only lightly rested on the top of a screw. Only 1 light out of 4 worked in bedroom by a switch above the bed furthest from the entrance door…used a flashlight to find our clothes in suitcases. Table in the room jutted out into the bathroom entrance. Metal surrounding underside of one bed sounded like thunder when someone rolled over. STUNNING view of Mackinac Island, bridge, lake, and sunrise…sitting on balcony was so relaxing. Renovations can be disruptive but cleanliness and safety should never lax.

First off, the waterfront view from this motel is great! The room was recently updated inside, but could use some finishing touches. Exposed wiring beside the bed and a smoke alarm hanging open (I assume not in working order) are not ok. Balcony and furniture were dated. Otherwise the room itself was good. Ice cold AC, hot shower with good water pressure, comfortable beds, TV, fridge and microwave!

The exterior needs some work. Stairs to the upper level have some boards popped up. Beach is sandy but had some trash. Swingset on the property looked from the 80s. And the overhang at the check in office is held up by some sketchy pillars.

If you are looking for a great view of the island and bridge for a reasonable price, this could be your place to stay. If you have high expectations of a high end stay, maybe go for a hotel in town.

The room was very clean, the staff was friendly, the parking was great for my mom who can’t walk far, and the beach view was the best I have ever had in Mackinaw. The thing I loved most was the bottom floor patio doesn’t have a barrier, so you are steps from the beach. You can lay in bed, hearing and seeing the waves. I will definitely stay again. The price was also amazing!

I didn't know what to expect coming into Sunrise Beach Motel since I had read both very positive reviews as well as some pretty scathing ones. But my experience was excellent. We were given a nicely rehabbed 2nd story room overlooking Lake Huron with beautiful views of the bridge and surrounding islands. Our room had the pinewood paneling on the walls and new LVP flooring. The beds made a spring sound when you moved around, but nothing too bad. Everything was clean. The handle on our sliding patio door was broken but could still be used. Although a free breakfast was not provided, they did give you coupons for a BOGO breakfast buffet (we did the one at Toast A Go-Go, which was excellent! Be sure to have the coupons because they won't give you the discount without it each day. Grab as many as you need.) The bathroom was small but clean. The only thing I could gripe about was that the shower water had a fishy smell to it, almost like it was coming from the lake, and the hot water came in unexpected bursts. A minor gripe. Overall, for the price I paid for two nights, I was very pleased with my stay and would stay there again.

The room was spacious and had a nice view of the lake. I couldn't get a good night's sleep because it was so loud. Not that there were loud people, but because the building is so old and poorly insulated that you can hear everything happening in other rooms like it's in your room.

This is a property that has a ton of potential. The view from our room was wonderful. We were in a 2nd floor “refurbished” room. The interior walls and floor were new. Beds were great. Thumbs up.
The table in our room, though, was unsafe…the top was not connected to the base (as well as being too big for the space). The balcony could have been great, if it had new flooring and seating-we would have loved to sit out there.
The parking lot was under construction due to erosion and it needed to be maintained
The pool looked super cool. Indoor/outdoor connected pool.
If they continue to make improvements, I would stay here, again.

I had a wonderful stay in a deluxe room right on the water with a patio. I was able to bring my fur baby (beagle) along with me and she loved it too. The room was clean and recently updated. The view was the best, I could see the Mackinac Bridge, which I absolutely love and also the Island. It was a little chilly when I was there, but the patio doors were perfect to sit and look out at the water and enjoy it all from inside. I believe I saw 8 Freighters go by that day as well. Staff were great! Very welcoming and friendly. I definitely plan to return again! I’ve also told others about it and they are planning on coming there as well. Also, even though it’s in Mackinaw City, it was down far enough it was quiet, peaceful and very relaxing, without all the people everywhere like downtown and down right by the bridge and fort. It’s the perfect spot to relax and recharge!

I don’t think I have had a better experience with a staff. They were extremely helpful, extremely friendly and fun to chat with. The location was great, we walked out of our room and ten steps to the water. There was a little fire pit outside (have to bring your own firewood but that’s ok) and a place to set up my travel grill. The renovated room was very nicely done and great cabin feel, plenty of linens and towels. The only suggestion I would make it to update the in room furniture. Wasn’t awful but could really elevate the space.

Unfortunately I was really disappointed by this stay. We booked online as it was labeled “pet friendly” only to show up and be charged a $35 dollar pet fee PER dog, totaling $70, almost as much as the room itself. The pool and hot tub were both empty, there was trash piling up outside in the trash cans, our balcony door handle was snapped off, sharp, and unable to lock, and they only provided small, clear, Dixie cups for coffee. The beds were very uncomfortable and made loud, rusty squeaking sounds when you moved at night. The lake view was gorgeous, but with all the hotel options in this area, I’d choose somewhere else next time.

We were originally going to stay in Traverse City but they had no availability in pet friendly hotels, we had searched for hotels around Petoskey and surrounding areas but no luck! We decided to try and book in Mackinaw City and luckily we were able to get 2 rooms and pet friendly. The gentleman behind the counter was managing the people the phone calls asking for room availability some people were upset but even he didn't expect the busyness but he didn't lose composure and remained polite!
The rooms looked like they were being remodeled clean sheets, towels. Only problem was no television, luckily I was able to watch my shows on my phone! Also if you are scared ofspiders dont look up the door frame! Id stay again!

The good is location and sitting on the covered porch with the sounds of the waves and the view of the bridge. Inside: under renovation? Reserved 2 weeks in advanced does not guarantee you will get the room you choose. They tried to put us on level 2 but my spouse could not do stairs. They said they would not charge me extra for the room they gave us. Bathroom door didn't close, stained bedspread. See photos of our room. Inside/Outside pool looked like it was closed due to pylons at the entrance and no lighting. Free parking, hard to maneuver around the rocks. Key card inoperable on day 2. They have a good location, hope they are able to fix the detailed stuff and politely accommodate reservations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Close to Mackinac, but just outside the hustle and bustle. Easy to get to and parking was ample. No elevator, so be prepared to take carry your items to the 2nd floor. The staff was great and very accommodating! Our room was one of the renovated ones on the 2nd floor and we loved it. They did a really great job on it. The mayflies were awful though if you left the porch light on next to your door ... so we just kept ours off (just slightly unscrewed the light bulb). Stayed here June 13-14.

The first room I was given upon check-in at 5 PM had not been cleaned. The second room I was given had allegedly been cleaned, but upon closer inspection, it was really dirty. I took my shoes off and walked around for about five minutes barefoot on the tile floor and my feet were filthy. There were cobwebs and insects around the light fixtures. The sliding glass door could not be locked however they provided a stick to keep the door from opening. There was a gap around the main door a quarter of an inch wide and you could hear absolutely everything outside. There was no iron or ironing board in the room. Stains in the bathtub. The general condition of the property and the rooms overall was just very poor. All this for $160 a night.

There was also no one available for checkout at 7:30 AM to get a copy of your receipt. Just a key drop.

I’m so confused. When checking in, I found out they manage 4 properties from the sunrise beach desk. I had reservations for Sunrise Beach. When I got there, they said they didn’t have my reservation but they were going to put me in a nicer motel next door for no up charge. That sounded great. When I got there, it looked exactly like the pictures I reserved. What does Sunrise Beach look like?!?!

Also, the sign out front had a price waayyyy lower than I paid. AND, Bridgeview and Sunrise prices out front were the same. If it’s a nicer motel, it should be higher right?

I can only speak for Bridgeview Motel. It was newly remodeled and looked fairly clean, but still made me feel dirty. Not sure how to explain why. Beds were ok. Sheets felt super cheap. Beach extends back behind Sunrise and Bridgeview. It was weedy and not well-maintained.

Not knocking the motel too much. It looked like almost every hotel in the area. Overall, it was an OK experience, but unless you pay outrageous prices to stay on the island, I’d expect your hotel to be about the same experience as mine.

no limpian

no limpian los cuartos en tu estancia! ni siquiera t dejan toallas limpias, ni sacan basura!, la playa huele mal y no hay sillas para sentarse en la playa, el cuarto demasiado pequeño y sin lugar o closet para poner la ropa, lo unico q me gusto fue la vista desde mi cuarto

The room was clean minus all the spiders and bugs in every single corner. As well as every lampshade, the air conditioning unit was in the bathroom which was odd. The plaster and drywall was falling apart in areas of the room, just had a weird old smell to it. Definitely thought I was getting a better room than what the reviews all said. Definitely needs some updating, just glad the bed was clean for a night stay.

Although our check in was excellent with Zachary, I STRONGLY warn you to NOT stay here. Dog poo everywhere outside, the room we had was questionable. Old; outdated ; nasty; had ants; tiny; smelled; half the outlets didn’t work. Nothing like the picture online. Only plus was coupons we received and cheap enough price (but price on their sign was cheaper than what we paid online).

Motel full of pros and cons

This motel was overall average to below average, but it has several pros and cons to consider.
Pros: Literally right on the water, lots of amenities, and there are discounts for the Mackinac Island ferries and several restaurants in the area. The motel has a community feel to it. The staff member who checked us in was wonderful and very helpful.
Cons: The place just isn't clean. There was constantly sand on the floor (not from us - it was there when we checked in), and bugs in the room. No bedbugs or anything like that - but flying bugs on the ceiling and in the bathroom. The sheets are stained red which gives the impression of bedbugs, but staff said it's rust from the washing machine (!). The pool and hot tub area are disgusting - the plaster is discolored, the hot tub jets didn't work, and the pool temperature was freezing, making it unusable. The staff member who took over from the one who checked us in demonstrated poor customer service throughout our day. We had to ask for towels and a hair dryer (which should've been in the room in the first place) and it took forever to get both. She was overall dismissive of our requests.
Overall, this is not the worst motel you could stay in. It was expensive for what we got, but outside summer it's probably a bargain. If you are a budget conscious traveler wanting area discounts, this may be the place for you. You'll need to lower your standards for cleanliness, though.

We booked through you(Expedia) and received two confirmation emails only to show up to the place and they told us that we did not have reservations. We are now staying at the quality Inn and paying more per night for a not so nice place WE ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOU and will never use your service again

The room itself was mediocre. Shower/tub dirty. Outside the door leading to the beach couldnt even walk out there without stepping in goose poop. When we asked the office for a rake that we planned on cleaning up the goose poop ourselves we were told there was no rake there and the janitor would get it in the morning...never showed up so we went and bought our own rake.

Only one outlet worked in the entire room, and it wasn’t the one next to the TV. Woke up next to several deal bugs in the bed.

Liked the beach access right of our room and view to the bridge. Beautiful sunrise.
The room was small, pretty clean, bathroom too.
Mattress was very comfortable.
Screen door and sliding door need to be replaced.

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.

Cute remodled rooms with water view

The room we stayed in was recently remodled. Very cute. Beds were really nice. Considerably comfortable for a hotel bed. Sheets were crisp and clean. The manager check on us every time he saw us to see how everything was going. The girls at the desk were very friendly and helpful. Will definetly stay again.

DO NOT STAY HERE!

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!

Upon checking in the suggestion was made to upgrade which I chose to do. I am so happy I did. Got a freshly renovated room overlooking the water. The bed was so comfortable and the view of the bridge was phenomenal. If I ever went back to Mackinaw City. I would definitely stay here again.
