Deutlicher Aufschlag (ca 100 $ !!!), weil das Zimmer im voraus für zwei Tage gebucht wurde. Betrag wurde zu einem Zeitpunkt abgebucht, an dem.eine kostenfreie Stornierung noch möglich gewesen wäre. Schimmel im Bad, Fliegengitterfenster verbogen, Tisch klebte.

The room had a really bad smell. Dusty and musty.
We were overcharged ,room says $73 dollars per night ,we stayed 2 nights
But was charged 272.00 + $55 for our 2 small dogs, we should of only been charged$146.00 for the 2 nights and the $55 for our 2 small dogs. We will not be returning to this motel anymore.

The staff was nice.
The inside pool was not opened and the outside pool should have been closed. You couldn’t even see the bottom. Did not use as I have an open and something is for sure wrong. Needed to be cleaned and chemicals badly. There was spider webs in our room with a half a dollar side spider in the bathroom. The box spring had stains on it. The smell in the room smelled as mold. The alarm clock was not pulled in and the tv was not working. Had to figure out how to fix. Did not like that there was no phone in the room to call the front desk. And did not like that the front desk was not at the hotel. Didn’t feel safe about that.

Office staff the we were able to contact at the Thunderbird were very friendly and professional.
Breakfast no longer offered. No staff at Starlight office. We needed to go two motels away to register. Pool water was murky/dirty. We have stayed here before and were sad to see how things have deteriorated. We had no hot water for shower in AM. Carpet in room was buckled and needs to be replaced. Yard swing was broken.

Room was clean and comfy. Had a sliding door onto patio and yard.
Unique situation where 3 motels owned by same person. Only 1 check-in location and only 1 person at desk.
Fan in bathroom sounded like airplane . Rooms and bathroom could use an update.

location
The fact that the outside pool wasn’t ready and you have to go two hotels down to check in or if you need anything.

We had a dog with us. The hotel states it was pet friendly. When we arrived we were told we were supposed to call and let them know. That is no where on the website..now in our confirmation email. Also the cost was 60.00 a night. Again no where in the booking or in our confirmation email. We have never been charged 60.00...30.00 yes sure fine. 60.00 rip off. Caution on this motel.

Everything was fine. Clean and warm. The only issue was that the bed was too hard. Breakfast was not included in our stay. Other than that, everything was fine!
The bed was hard and uncomfortable. Everything else was fine.

Every time my family visits Mackinac we stay at the Starlite. It's conveniently located and a bit of nostalgia for us.
The only downside was they have merged with the hotel next-door and no longer have their own check in office.

It was clean.
The check-in office is closed and we were required to go to a nearby motel The Thunderbird Inn - to check in. The wall AC unit was so high up I needed to stand on a chair to see/adjust the controls. No extra blankets in the room. My partner (we're in our 80s!) walked in the dark back to The Thunderbird to ask for a blanket and was told they didn't have any. He stopped by the pool and picked up some large towels to use as blankets. Later a kind person staying in a nearby unit knocked on our door and offered us a blanket. The office must have called him. The shower offered very little water.

Centrally located with onsite parking, decent hotel with all facilities. Clean rooms and hygienic bathrooms. Management was friendly and helping.
Check In process done at a different location but was close by with clear instructions. White colored Duvet Covers on the bed could have helped ensure that they are clean. Pricing could have been a little lower.

The room was clean and orderly. Was easy to find and park.
The floor in the bathroom had a bubble in the floor. Likely from previous damage that was not properly repaired.

Terri was awesome. Super chatty, freindly Lady. It was end of season, so she moved us to a better room that was open. Evrything was great except some unruly people next door.
