    Although it's a standard outskirts-of-town hotel/motel, it's walkable to nearby restaurants and downtown Mackinac City. I believe the ferry(ies) shuttle stops at the hotel (you can also walk to the ferry probably in about 5-10 min if you google it). Bed was good. Noise/sound insulation seemed good. Breakfast was OK for these sort of places where you get the very basics on paper plates. We walked about 7-10 min to Audie's for a memorable dinner in their Chippewa room.
