Holiday Inn Express Mackinaw City by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff was amazing! Shuttle to the get was super efficient and convenient. Hotel was very clean. The coffee machine is slow and creates a bottleneck in the morning. There was some sort of loud pump that ran for about 30 minutes in the middle of the night just under our room that made the bed shake. I'm guessing that was just the location of it room though. Would stay here again."
