Stayed here during our Pure Michigan vacation this past summer. From the very start I had a feeling I was going to enjoy this place. Did my reservation by phone and it was one of the most pleasant conversations I've ever had. We spent 4 days getting there with stops along the way at lighthouses, beaches and an old insane asylum... ( see separate review ). When we arrived in the UP it was like another world. Kind of like the feeling of being at the polar opposite of Key West. Laid back, peaceful feeling without all the weirdos. Hotel was great. Staff was wonderful. Room was really good. Clean, clean, clean. Breakfast room was crowded, but adequate. Complimentary breakfast was good start to the day. The view from our balcony was of Mackinaw Island. Simply breathtaking to see Huron and the eastern portion of the Straits. Fantastic indoor pool. I WAS only going to give 4 stars. The only drawback and reason for considering 4 stars was parking, and I should probably overlook this because it's not the staff's fault that two idiots took up 10 parking spots with their towed campers... So, YAY !! 5 stars. We are definitely coming back next summer and staying here. read more

Our family of 3 plus 1 dog, stayed one night. Had a very economical reservation , non- refundable. My husband travels weekly and knows how to professionally check everything for bed bugs. Took us a few minutes of checking and tearing room apart but before we brought our luggage in we were pretty confident there were no bed bugs. This being on the water, in the UP, there were others bugs in the room that come in from opening the door and being on the water. That is expected if you travel up north. The front desk people were very polite and helpful. Our room was clean, sheets and bed clean and fresh. Our view awesome. We were on the first floor and it was so convenient with our dog. This is a nice hotel. Going in , knowing we are not staying at the Ritz Carlton, I think it is definitely a good place for a family to stay and worth the good competitive price we paid. For the hotel it is, compared to what I expected, I would have given it 5 stars except for the only con: The outside entrance doors to each section of rooms is never locked. Anyone off the street can wander the hallways. The hotel room door is secure and has safety locks. read more

This was a perfect spot to stay and get to visit the island. Andy was bartending and he was so knowledgeable about the craft beer selection offered at the restaurant. We had so much fun talking to him. The food was great too. Great breakfast and the staff was so friendly and great. The beds were also so comfortable! read more

Housekeepers stole my husband's wallet! It was there when we to hot tub..I came back...housekeeping was in room, "changing towels".. Which i thought was weird.. we have a multiple night stay, i didnt request housekeeping,,so are they in the room?? My husband returns from pool and immediately notices his wallet is not where he left it, i did notify management, but of course all the housekeepers that was hanging around my room was " gone" for the day. Manager refunded a night...but i still felt unsafe and so we checked out ..no wallet still..vacation RUINED! ..Do not leave your valuables in the room, not even for a second..THEY STEAL ! read more

Said they had tofu on the menu when they did not. I asked for salad without chicken and they took off chickpeas. When I asked for chickpeas, they said they were out read more

Nice hotel. Breakfast was included with a decent variety. The club restaurant was good and the cocktails were good pours. My room and bathroom were extremely clean. read more

What a wonderful place. Spent two nights. Great view of Mackinac island Absolutely beautiful view of the sunrise in the morning. Fire pits on the beach in the evening. Walking out of patio door and onto beach was fun. Geese polluted half the beach the first day. read more

Fabulous place to stay. Very clean. Beautiful view from the room balcony. Very professional and friendly staff. Restaurant has delicious food and the free breakfast was way better than I expected. Will definitely be back. read more

Not a very nice experience. My husband, son and I stayed for 3 nights. The first night was fine. The second day, we had to travel to Sault St. Marie,and were gone most of the day. We came back around 4 p.m. and the room wasn't cleaned. We decided to go grab a bite to eat and come back. We got back around 5:30 to 6 p.m., and the room still wasn't cleaned. We talked to the front desk about 3 different times before they finally cleaned it. Also, I use a cycler for dialysis, and I have to set up the machine beforehand so the solution bag can warm up, so it was very inconvenient. We had a room on the 3rd floor. We were able to use the elevator, but then we had to go down some stairs to get to our room. With my cycler, that was difficult. I have a cart that goes with it. Also, we brought a cart to haul in the rest of our stuff (we had to bring my solution bags...4 boxes with 10 liters of fluid in each). We were able to have someone from the hotel help us with carrying everything in, but when we went to check out, the helpers weren't there yet. I wouldn't recommend staying here. We definitely won't again. read more

We stayed at Breakers August 11-12, 2019. Reviews were good but our experience was below expectations. The room was very nice when we arrived, we were exhausted and the lake view was lovely. The next day housekeeping picked up our used towels but did not vacuum the dark carpet, pick anything up, make the bed or replace the towels or bath mat. They have breakfast listed as an amenity but breakfast offering is poor at best and looks extremely unappetizing. The best thing about the breakfast was the apple. read more

"Think how snug it'll be underneath our flannel When it's just you and me and the English Channel In our cozy retreat, kept all neat and tidy We'll have chums over every Friday By the sea, anything you say Don't you love the weather? By the sea, we'll grow old together By the seaside, hoo, hoo By the beautiful sea" This is how I feel about Breakers Inn (or Comfort? Who knows?). The hotel staff is super friendly and always up for a chat and the breakfast is actually decent. It's in a gorgeous part of Michigan. Small, quaint town with a lovely hotel to go with it. The rooms are slightly dated from the look of the carpets and the decor, but it has its charms. The rooms are spacious which isn't the problem. They just have so much room to do nothing with. Just a bit boring, but a clean room is all you can ask for. Plus, the bottles of shampoo and conditioner are so cute! Novelty gifts if you ask me. Just being able to open the back door and walk out into the water is something that everyone should be able to experience on vacation, at work, wherever you are. Check out Breakers in St. Ignace and get some tasty seafood while you're at it! read more

I would give it 5 stars if the breakfast was little healthier, but overall great place to stay with beautiful lake front view and really affordable. read more

Its now called 'Breakers Resort' Great hotel for cheap, located right along the beach on Lake Huron, we got a free upgrade and paid $80 for a double queen bed, with a balcony overlooking the lake, it was gorgeous. Sadly we didn't make much use of the balcony or beach cause it was so cold the whole time we were there, but still great view. Staff all were very friendly, it was quite busy there as well. Nice pool and hot tub, awesome breakfast as well! :) read more

We were bumped from a planned hotel stay in Mackinaw City, when a phone call came that they were closing for the season early. Scrambling to rescue our get away, we booked at Breakers, and were pleasantly surprised. We had a third floor double queen lakefront room with a fireplace - perfect for late October, at a really reasonable rate. The room was clean, pretty, fresh - looked as if the carpet had just been cleaned - and very comfortable. It was nice to find a small table and pair of chairs in the room, giving us a place to enjoy our delivery food after a long, tiring drive. The view of the sunrise over Mackinac Island the next morning was spectacular. The curtains did an excellent job of darkening the room. This place nearly got my 5 star, but is lacking just a couple things. The rooms don't have microwaves, and if you're like me, you never clean your plate; you bring your leftovers back for lunch the next day. We managed to get the food in the tiny fridge, but then had to take it back to the (separate) lobby building, in the pouring rain, to use the breakfast room microwave. If you can't provide microwaves for each room, at least put one in the lobby of the building where guests stay, so we don't have to bring waders to go warm up our dinner. I'd also suggest that each room be provided with door hangtags to indicate "do not disturb" or "make up room please." I was surprised not to find those. The room also did not have a folder of resort info, with restaurant recommendations and sample menus, something I rely on frequently when traveling. Thank goodness I was able to bring up Yelp on my phone, or we could've starved to death! ;) read more

Breakers Resort - Sunrise over Mackinac Island from room 317 - Hotels Near Me - Saint Ignace, Michigan

Nice enough for the price. Room clean, and kept clean during our stay over a busy memorial weekend. Pool clean, and not overly chlorinated. Continental breakfast included, but be forewarned the breakfast area was SMALL. As in miniscule, tiny, almost non existent. And since we were there on a busy weekend it was jammed with families, so never got a chance to get breakfast. Otherwise would stay here again. read more

I am very upset with this resort. The only reason why i am giving them 1 star is because in order to post a review I have to do at least 1 star. I would have given they 0. I booked a 2 night stay on the first floor with a lakeside view because i was told we would be able to walk out the slider door and enjoy the grassy area and private beach on the lake with my family. After checking in my kids and I quickly grabbed the sand toys and ran out the patio door excited about playing on the beach. We had to very quickly slow down because the entire grassy area as well as the beach was covered in goose feces. You can clearly tell no one picks it up. My husband informed the front desk and he was told that someone is supposed to clean it up daily and it would be better the following day. Nothing changed the next day. Walking from our room to the water was like side stepping land mines!!!! It was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!! At breakfast there was a woman who worked for the resort that was picking food out of trash, loading it on 1 plate and then walked away with it. Where she went, i dont know but why was she picking food out of the trash. The second morning we had breakfast the same woman was walking around asking people including me and my children if we were done with our plates when we clearly still had more than half our food left and eating off our plates and was again, pulling food out of the trash and taking it somewhere else. I spoke to a woman at the front desk asking to speak to the manager and she stated he was not in but would have him call me. I emailed the resort after returning home and have left 5 messages with the front desk in the last 2 weeks asking for a phone call back and have yet to hear back from him. Clearly the manager doesn't understand the importance of good customer service and is dodging my calls. I have never written a bad review for anyone but felt it was necessary with this place due to the poor business practices. Please, save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Overpriced. Rude. Over charged me for my stay. All the pictures they show online are lies. LIES!! The beach is covered in seagull and goose poop. Don't even attempt to sit and eat breakfast, the breakfast room is incredibly small. The facade they put on, online is nice, but in reality, stay somewhere else!! read more

Wow! What horrible out of date technology does this "resort" have got lock out of my suite, walked to the lobby twice for keys- reception lady came down and open the door. And has yet to return. Hope I am going to get a refund. read more

Breakers Resort - So glad I don't have a child lock in there. - Hotels Near Me - Saint Ignace, Michigan

Breakers was the first night of our weeklong trip to the UP, and it was the best and most reasonable stay of our entire trip. The room (312) was very comfortable. The king bed & bedding, the balcony & view, the fireplace & decor, the pool & spa, and the hot breakfast were all up to our high standards. And the staff was courteous and helpful. We arose at sunrise, stepped onto the balcony, and snapped this picture. It doesn't get any better than this. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to the UP! read more

Breakers Resort - Sunrise from the balcony of our room. - Hotels Near Me - Saint Ignace, Michigan

There is not a single thing I can say bad about this place. Starting from Brie (spelling) at the front desk-she was very welcoming and set the tone for our stay. The hotel was super clean, halls, our room, elevator, outdoors etc. They lit fire on beach every eve, which is a nice touch. The continental breakfast had a wide variety and changed a little each day. It was set up classy and you could eat lake side also. Our third party booking messed up and we didn't get the hideaway couch but they took care of it and before we were in our room, there was already a rollaway bed. Loved this place. read more

We found a bedbug in the bathroom around 5am, called the front desk and no one was there. When someone finally came up we saw more crawling on the ceiling and walls. We were told that the housekeeping staff vacuums the top comforter and does not replace bedding after each guest leaves (GROSS). We were also told that they couldn't move us or give us a refund until the manager came in at 9am, so we were patient and waited out on the balcony for the 4 hours. We even waited until 9:30 because we figured we'd let him get settled before he helped us. This man never showed up to work, his name is Andy. We were yelled at by a man named Travis (who isn't a manager or a front desk agent so we don't even know why he even got involved), he verbally abused us and told us we were not welcome here. While Travis is yelling at us and telling us we are not welcome here, the lady behind him is processing our refund...WHY WERE WE WAITING ALL MORNING IF THEY COULD JUST REFUND US WITHOUT THE MANAGER?! After doing my research I found out that this isn't the first time they've had an issue with bedbugs, dirty beds, verbally abusing customers, or having an absentee manager. They do this because the owner and his family passed away last year in a plane crash (you can google this, there was only one surviving family member and he is only 16), so they have no one to answer to. Shame on them ALL for making a mockery of this deceased family's legacy and taking advantage of a terrible situation. It is now 4 days later and Andy still has not shown up to work, he comes in when he feels like, and an exterminator still has not been contacted (called the exterminator they claimed to have called to confirm this). Please save your money and stay elsewhere. On top of this all the room was sub par, the private beach is disgusting, full of poop and bird feathers, and the pool water is brown. I'm warning you, stay elsewhere. EDIT: Here is the article about the family: http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2016/09/hotel_owners_from_michigan_kil.html read more

We checked in and our room was full of bugs. I mean a lot of bugs. The staff changed our room. When we got there I could hear construction going on above us. I called the front desk and they said it would stop at 6. The room wasn't that clean. I could hear people walking and talking out in the hallway. I could hear everything outside the room. There is no comparison to the holiday inn next door. I will never stay here again. read more

If you like bugs in your room -- lots and lots of bugs, including the smeared remains of bugs killed by previous occupants -- then this is your place! I understand, rooms open to the beach, so you expect some of this. But I'm not sure the room I was in had been cleaned in some time. ... Pool area is highly dangerous because of slipperiness of floor. Water was super cold. ... Also to get to some rooms you have to take stairs; not fun carrying your bags this way. read more

Meh...You should probably stay somewhere else. The room was not very nice. Broken toilet seat, screen on sliding door was almost completely ripped off, the hallways have no air and smell, beach area is not kept up and finally the breakfast is in the lobby across from hotel. The dining area is very small and had stale food out. We stayed for three nights and went elsewhere for breakfast. I was kinda disappointed with our stay. I'd look somewhere else if I visit St. Ignace again. read more

This hotel was a steal. The rates are very cheap for a Lake View balcony room. I recommend paying the extra $10 for the balcony room, lake view. The beds are nice and the room has all that you would need. You are only about 30 feet or so away from Lake Huron so if it is warm enough, it would be easy to take a dip. If not, the pool and hottub are actually in pretty good shape. You are about 4 miles from the casino and maybe a mile or so to downtown St. Ignace. I actually wish I had another night to say here. If I am on vacation in the area, I will stay here. I believe it is one of the newer hotels in the area 15 years maybe 10 so, which makes it better than the competitors. For some reason they designed this hotel with stairs in the hallways of each floor so I recommend getting a room near the elevator to prevent carrying your luggage up and down them. read more

Stayed there for 3 days last month. It seemed like a good deal at the time. Room with a balcony overlooking the lake. Hotel was over all pretty clean. On the down side, we had to drag our luggage up stairs to get our room. Lots of bugs, which is not the hotels fault. Breakfast was crowded with limited seating and one day, they ran out of food.There was also no "do not disturb "sign to hang on your door. read more

NOTE: This apparently is now called Breakers Resort even though when your cc is charged it says Comfort Inn Beachside. I HIGHLY recommend this place! It was my 1st time staying in St. Ignace but I was visiting my in laws who also stayed at the hotel and have stayed at several different hotels in St. Ignace and they could not get over this place. The staff was very sweet and helpful, the lobby was nice and clean and our rooms were so cute and very clean! If you book a room pay the extra to be on the lake with the balcony. The only downfall I could find to this place was hallways and elevator need some upgrades. The carpet was worn pretty badly but I still give it 5 starts because for me what's most important are service and the room. read more

It is absolutely unbelievable that me and my family experienced such unprofessional and disrespectful behavior by the General Manager during our very short stay at this location on this past Saturday. Let me just preference this by making it clear that I am an African American woman who was accompanied by my 29 year old daughter, her 6 month old son - my grandson, and my 77 year old mother. We were put out of the hotel at 11pm-ish on the same night we checked in. Please be mindful of this as you read this review. At approximately 8:30 pm, we were beginning to settle into the hotel room. My daughter discovered that the toilet could use more cleaning given that there was still evidence in the toilet that the prior person (perhaps) who stayed in the room left a little something in the toilet. So, they sent someone up to clean the toilet - pretty promptly also. We then discovered that the comforter had an odor in one specific spot, we requested a clean comforter but truly expected a full change in linen. As it turns out, it definitely seemed that the linen had not been changed. I requested to have a manager come to the room to smell the odor in the linen himself. He did not come but did send an employee up to change the linen. Initially, this guy did not seem very happy with us so I went down to ask for the manager again. They claimed he had left the premise. Either way, I requested that linen for both beds be changed. Well, by the time I got back to my room, the manager called the room. In the nastiest tone ever, he tells me they will send someone up for the last time and no one will come up to the room any more for any reason. In a very nasty tone, tells me that they have sent someone up seven times (???). For starters that was a flat out lie. He also told me that we could leave the hotel - and that he would be happy to refund our money. I mean his tone was absolutely nasty. In the end, there was nothing for me to say. I politely hung up the phone and had no idea what my next move was. He then calls back. My daughter answers and he pretty much tells us to get "the fuck off of his property". We requested clean linen and a clean bathroom for a hotel that charged $300/night. He told us if we weren't out in 5 minutes he would send someone up to get us out of his hotel. Keep in mind, a 6-month old baby, my 77-year old mom, me and my daughter. So, my daughter decided to call the St Ignace police. When they arrived, the officer said he was not surprised. He has seen this happen before. What the heck! The nice officer tried to help us find a hotel with no success. So, at 11ish at night, I drove back to Detroit. I do question if this would have happened to me and my family if we were not African American. This General Manager has some serious hate in his heart. Trust me....no one responds to complaints in the way he did without there being other underlying issues going on. I will never visit Saint Ignace again nor will I advise others to visit. This guy should be in the Hall of Shame!!! read more

Awesome hotel! Stopped here last minute after visiting the Mackinac Islands and what a great last minute find! It's now called Breakers Resort, but clean room and awesome price, also great view of the lake. The indoor pool and spa was a nice touch. And to top it off the Front staff was super friendly and helpful, couldn't ask for more!! Highly recommended would definitely come back. read more

Sally and Andy are saints! My partner and I accidently booked our stay for the evening before, and they worked with us and found a room last minute! Thank you so much! The room was spacious and clean. Best cable out of any place we have stayed on this trip, and the bed was cozy too! Thank you so much! We will be back! read more

We found the hotel to be very clean and very up-to-date, there were no signs of older fixtures or carpeting or anything like that. The breakfast was listed as a full breakfast even though I would call it a lite full breakfast. The pillows though I found to be the only distraction and that they were only about throw pillow size. I would recommend bringing your own. Overall read more

Check-in was easy and the room was pretty clean and comfortable (with a nice view). However, I think overall our experience wasn't great. Our sliding door didn't lock, the WiFi wasn't working, and there was only 1 elevator that was pretty slow so you may need to take the stairs. That night we called to see when the kitchen closed - the front desk said 10pm, but when we got there the door was locked so we knocked to get someone's attention. The manager came out to let us know they actually closed at 9pm. Another man came by and said he also called the front desk and was told that the kitchen closed at 10pm. Another thing to note is that when we returned to our hotel room our door was semi open which alarmed us, but I think we just didn't check to see if it shut completely before we left. That was our fault for not checking, but I do think it would be good for the hotel to check that doors close automatically behind in case others make the same mistake. We only stayed for 1 night so it was manageable but if you plan on staying longer I would book at another hotel. read more

We booked this hotel for the night before we left for a stay on Mackinac Island. Lake view was important to us and boy did we get it! Private balcony looking at Lake Huron and The Island. We booked it knowing it was rated 2.5 stars so we didn't expect the Ritz but we got a better than 2.5-star stay. The room was spotless, very spacious and cute. Our front desk person Angela was very friendly, helpful and really added to our experience. We'd definitely stay again. read more

I travel allot for work and Comfort Inn's can go either way. This one was was decent. Nothing fancy but the rooms were clean and there was a nice pool for the kids. read more

The place is really, really clean. On first blush it looks very nice. On close inspection it needs some small detail work - grout missing in the tub...ceiling peeling in the shower, spiders in between the screens and the sliding glass doors. The pool and hot tub are nice and again, it's all clean and smells clean too. It's only open in season (Memorial day to Labor day or later) and has a nice beach (a Michigan beach...sand and some grass). My family had the two bed suite with kitchenette and were very happy with it - it had two balconeys and a great view of the Straits (Lake Huron and Lake Superior). It has a breakfast with the requisite waffles which the kiddos love. Staff was very friendly and helpful. There are other, nicer and more expensive places but they were booked in February when I made this June reservation. In the "Whoa! They do things different category" : Michigan seems a bit behind in the Smoke Free category and the non-smoking rooms are on the same floors with the smoking. That caught me by surprise as I smelled smoke in my hall and I realized that gosh, even in my libertarian Alaska, public buildings and private that are open to the public are all non-smoking. So, smoker's rejoice. ***** last minute edit *****on last morning at breakfast, 5 of the 8 bagels were loaded with mold on the undersides (and I mean at least 3 large spots on each) and I had to set them aside. There was no attendant around to tell. read more

Now called the breakers inn resort. It's just OK. The rooms are all right but it's still pretty expensive for what you get. Halls are not air conditioned and musty. The breakfast looked awful, we didn't even eat it. Grey sausage patties, pre made egg rounds. The waffles were probably ok but I was very disappointed. Do yourself a favor and go next-door to Java Joe's instead for that. read more

Booked on a travel site. Prepaid. Checked in, unfriendly staff. Did not have our room I booked and paid for. Gave us a different room with a roll away....roll away is a joke. Maintenance who brought the roll say could care a less that it even made it in the room. Room is blah.. I think it's clean... Hotel looks heavily used. It's only for one night so my family can manage some how. I'm really disappointed.to add to it, when I pulled the sheets back to go to bed, there was someone's sex on it!!! Gross. I called front desk and some guy changed the sheets... The roll away bed for our third guest was a joke of a mattress. I don't expect fancy, but I expect friendly and CLEAN, read more

This is a bare bones motel but we were in a bind with no other rooms. Holiday inn express recommended them but they shouldn't be after our experience. We got to the room & it didn't smell very clean. Immediately went into the bathroom to find someone had " crapped" in the toilet & it was clogged. They had maintenance come up & fix it quickly. Started looking around the room to find coffee stains on table, no towels or toiletries plus dog hair on bedspread & carpet. We did talk to a older women at the desk & she apologized. She said she would have it cleaned while we went to dinner. When we came back it was clean & stocked. She thought they had just missed it but I don't think so since bed was made up. I think they lack the basic skills for running a hotel. Looking around there were many things neglected that should have been done in their off season like cleaning the exhaust vents in the bathroom, dust on emergency lighting in the stairwells, chipped paint, etc etc. The manager in the morning just had excuses why things were not done. This town seems to be like that in all areas. Since it's a major tourist area during the summer months I would believe it could be so much better. read more

Stopped in on my way through the UP on my way downstate. Price is reasonable for end of April stay. I got in the room and it is beyond cold. I've had the heat cranked for 2 hours and it's finally getting reasonable. The deck door won't latch and the extra safety hasp doesn't line up. Looks like I'll be sleeping with my finger on the trigger tonight. I checked in late last night with my 4 year old daughter, who will be 7 by the time I'm done posting this review as the internet is SLOW. Once again for 60 bucks plus tax, I can't be too bummed out. I can live with everything but the nonlocking door. We will see how the food and pool are in the morning. read more

We were assured by John when calling to make a reservation that we would be getting a first floor hotel room with a walk-out directly onto the beach. We were also told that the reason for the price of the room was because this was the best price of the room for this "room type." We reserved the room SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE WE WANTED A WALK-OUT ONTO THE BEACH since we have kids. When we arrived, we were not given the room we expected to get, and the manager Andy would not even compensate us in any way since he claimed "it was a holiday weekend." I'm not sure what the time frame had to do with anything, but poor customer service = a bad experience. I would not trust anything you are promised when reserving a room here. But I guess a second floor room wasn't so bad after seeing that the whole beach was filled with seagull poop. read more
