Our last couple visits have been very troubling and stressful. From the owners new side piece sharing personal details with us about their relationship at the park while walking her dogs, to our last visit with the cleaning girl's child walking in and out of our room looking through our bags several times during our stay, we will no longer be staying at or recommending what was once such an amazing place to relax and visit.

We stayed her for four nights, basing our choice on previous ratings. The location was another…read morereason for choosing this motel. It's off the beaten path, but close enough to the shops in town and it's an easy walk to many places to eat as well. It's not a big place and it's not a big well known company either. It's a nice family owned business. There were pros and cons to our room so I'll be sure to cover everything. First off, the room was very clean and that comes from someone who is a neat freak. Housekeeping was fantastic. The bathroom could have been more user friendly. Although it was nicely updated, there was no room to set toiletries because it had a pedestal sink which looked very nice, but when you're traveling, you have 'stuff' that needs to set out. The odd thing was there was no toilet paper holder and because it had the pedestal sink, there was no room to set the roll. We either had to set it behind us on the tank lid which was an awkward reach or put it on the shower 'step in'. It was kind of maddening but maybe they weren't done updating or maybe someone forgot to reinstall the holder after the update. Now on to the shower.... it was beautifully tiled with a very nice and newer looking shower head. I loved it. The downside was that the shower didn't have any type of shelf or area to put shampoo, conditioner, soap etc except for the safety railing. So... we had to balance the bottles, razor and bar of soap on the railing. That was a fun daily game of balancing everything. The towels and wash cloths were thick, soft and clean and there was plenty of bar soap and shampoo that was replenished daily. The light and overhead fan were connected rather than separate so when you turned on the light, the fan went on as well. The toilet looked fairly new and it was the newer type that had the water saving flush. All in all the bathroom was pretty nice. If they could add a toilet paper holder and maybe a shelf for the shower to set the bottles, bar soap and anything else on and maybe a shelf for toiletries and accessories next to the sink, the bathroom would be perfect. For the main living area, it was your standard motel room with a smaller size TV, a small fridge with a freezer, a small Keurig type coffee maker with two coffee pods a day and an ice bucket. There were 2 drawers on the dresser and one of them was where I had to put my cosmetics and toiletries when getting ready each morning due to the bathroom having no room for anything. There was also a small rack above the dresser for hanging a few clothes The two beds were full size. Needless to say, I was happy to come back home to the queen size we're used to. They had a variety of pillow to choose from based on your sleeping preferences. The bed overall was a bit too soft for my liking but for 4 nights, the full size, softer bed was fine. The comforters looked clean and fairly new and updated. There was an outlet next to the beds to plug in charging cables, and the bedside table had a wireless charger that we were able to just set our phones on to charge so that was nice. The outlet did have a couple of ports too, but unfortunately they weren't working. There's a heated pool, but we didn't use it so I can't say anything about it except that it had a nice sitting area and people seemed to enjoy swimming in it. The best part about staying here is the awesome view of the Mackinac Bridge. Pretty much every room here has a great view. We were closer to the end, which is closer to the water, which is closest to the bridge and we were on the 2nd floor. I'm glad we were up a level because the morning and evening views of the bridge were beautiful from the 2nd floor. You do have to walk upstairs because there's no elevator so if you have difficulty with climbing stairs, the lower level is where you want to be. The sunrises from the balcony were fantastic, beautiful and picturesque. There is a small beach, a walkway and benches for sitting as well. There's also a grassy area with picnic tables right outside the motel. So....there you have it! A pretty nice place with absolutely fantastic views of the bridge along with lovely morning sunrises and close to the bustling town where there are plenty of shops and places to eat. If you decide to stay here, I hope you enjoy your stay just as we did.

I loved that we had our own little patio on the landing overlooking the water - a great spot to sit outside in the morning having coffee. We were greeted warmly when we arrived, super easy check in. The two beds are in the same room, with a door to close off the 'living room' which worked great for different needs of my husband and young adult kid. Nice table to play games on, the fridge was a good size, two tvs (one per room) and easy to walk to a ferry to the island! The attached restaurant had good food, too. Is it a high class place to stay? Nah, it's a motel! The price was great for us and met all our needs!

I've been staying at the Driftwood Motel for decades. I learned from my wife's dad how much cheaper…read moreit is to stay here than it is to stay on the island. I don't know what the prices were when he started coming here, but I was able to book 2 rooms for three nights for cheaper than it costs to stay on the island in one room for one night. Sorry about the flashback to math class, people, but this is an economics lesson where you'll want to pay attention. There is a log cabin kind of feel to the architecture. And, in another throwback to a bygone age, the doors use keys...actual, metal keys, not plastic cards. Outside the room, you'll find gas barbecue grills with tongs and other tools to enjoy your home away from home. While the room itself seems humble, it does contain most of the amenities you would expect. It's spacious. The beds are reasonably comfortable. There is a mini fridge, but unfortunately no microwave. And the restaurant is just a few steps away from your room, and it's excellent. One thing you would not expect, however, is a mind-boggling array of on-demand programming on your flat screen TV. Dozens of shows are available from maybe 30 different networks. And, it's no extra charge for any of it. Even if it weren't for all this, the location itself is perfect. Directly across the street are two Mackinac Island ferry terminals. I'm not exaggerating: they're literally across the street. That $27 you pay for a round-trip ticket is a heck of a lot cheaper than you would pay each day to stay on the island. Economics, people. So, go ahead and get a second mortgage to pay for a stay on the island. I will keep on coming here and enjoying all the great benefits, while also having money left over to actually pay for things to do on the island.

The room was clean and functional. While there it didn't seem too busy, based on parking lot. Overall, it was a simple stay with two beds for our party of 3. The beds are on the firm side, the shower was hot but lacked water pressure, and they give you an actual key, vs a card. I did enjoy that outside each room are 2 white plastic patio chairs that were clean and a nice spot to sit for a bit in the evening. The next morning checkout was simple (leave the key on the table), and we walked across the parking lot to the Wild Blueberry to grab some treats for the road. Although it doesn't have the luxury of a Holiday Inn, etc. it was the absolute definition of "eh, not bad." Reasonably priced, clean (an imperative), and convenient.

We contacted the booking site by email to cancel the Wednesday reservations 72 hours in advance to comply with the restrictions. It should be noted that there was no change option. However, on a Sunday afternoon, we received no response. It's 9/29, too late for summer, and too early for real fall color. As we were driving through town, every single motel/hotel had vacancy signs and empty parking lots. The person staffing the desk at the motel was just a temp and asked us to wait for the regular person. I stepped across the parking lot to get a blueberry donut at The Wild Blueberry. Ten minutes later, I returned to the motel door to stand and eat my donut. A woman breezed past me and asked, "You don't want a room, do you?" I kid you not!!!! At that point, I could tell we were not going to have a good experience. Sure enough, she proceeded to argue forcibly with my man about cancellation restrictions and that the rate instead of being $78 a night was now $99 a night. My man said he didn't want to cancel but simply change our reservations receiving the previously booked rate. She started talking loudly over him. He said, "It sounds like you don't want to help us." She responded that she thought we should stay elsewhere. We're staying at the Holiday Inn Express who welcomed our business!
