"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was well equipped and spacious. The view was awesome! Very convenient to walk the little town and to grab the shuttle to Mackinac Island. The decor was a bit dated but otherwise a very nice stay."

8/10 Good
"The property is very beautiful and relaxing they offer free carriage rides when you arrive and when departing however if you go anywhere else on the island it cost $11 person one way. This property is a 30-45 minute carriage ride to town. I feel with the cost to stay at this property they should include rides to and from town. When we arrived they took our luggage up to the property so we could stay in town however when we wanted a ride to the resort the carriage for the property was nowhere to be found I called them to send a carriage and waited no one showed up we ended up paying for a taxi which was $11 per person. I also had received an email for a complimentary upgrade to my reservation, when we checked in I showed them the email and was told they had nothing available but I could pay for an upgrade. Beautiful property and I would recommend staying here just beware of the extra cost for carriage rides but you can rent a bike or walk."

"I had wanted to go to Mackinac Island for years and finally had the opportunity to do so this year. The front porch of the motel with its cool breeze and rocking chairs provided a beautiful view of the Lake and ships out in the water. The fire pits on the lawn were awesome at night as we sat around and talked with other guests of the motel. The room was clean, the staff was exceptional, and the breakfast was great. We plan to return."

"Our stay at Breakers was great. The staff was so pleasant and helpful. The shuttle picked us up in the morning and took us to the ferry for Mackinac Island. Nice easy process.The room had a lake view and it was a beautiful day for taking in the beautiful beach. The room was a bit tired looking. Slow draining sink and shower. Patio door was beat up, could use a new handle. The price was good and we would stay again due to the wonderful helpful staff. We ate pizza at the beach in the evening and enjoyed the bonfire and amazing northern stars. The outdoor bar was very convenient."
