we took a girls trip and stayed here. the place was pretty clean except the outside of the room doors. it is really close to shopping and restaurants. we loved that we could see the bridge from the beach and there's fire pits to have fires on the beach! overall it was a great experience and we will definitely come back to this hotel!

I had such a great stay at the Blue Water Beachfront Hotel. The view from the room was absolutely stunning — you can literally step outside and be right on the beach. Everything was clean, comfortable, and quiet, and the staff were friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive. It’s the perfect mix of peaceful and convenient — close enough to St. Ignace and Mackinaw City for exploring, but tucked away enough to feel like your own private getaway. My favorite part was waking up early and watching the sunrise over the water — it was absolutely breathtaking and worth every minute of sleep lost. I’d definitely stay here again — it’s the kind of place that makes you slow down, breathe, and just enjoy being up north. 🌅

Pleasantly surprised that our room had a balcony. Nice updates. Overall great spot to stay right on the lake. The beds and pillows are so-so, but I slept just fine. Our family really enjoyed this spot! Excellent value and cost.
