My wife and I planned on doing the Mackinac Bridge walk on labor day. We picked The lake view hotel by chance and were pleasantly suprised. The location was great for us, it was directly across the street from the ferry we were using. The bell man was there to whisk our luggage to our room as soon as we... more

Traveling with children and staying on the island, I would recommend this hotel. We stayed two nights. The only issues we had did not have anything to do with the hotel or staff but the other people staying at the hotel. My one downfall would be not having enough staff, there was only one person at the front desk when... more

Booked double queen "turret" room w/jacuzzi tub and AC. Arrived via ferry, had to find luggage what was "given to porter". Found Byron - would take our one suitcase across the street to hotel and bring it up to our room immediately. Checked in (uneventful) and told to just go to the room and our luggage would be up shortly.... more

The location of the hoetl is beautiful but his is about all it has going for itself. From check in until we left I felt we were aburden on the staff. I would never recommend to anyone, find a better hotel there are plenty on the island more

The accomodations were great. Staff was very helpful. Enjoyed the front porch as well as indoor pool. more

Stayed one Friday night with my husband and 2 kids (9 & 13). Location was super. Right across the street from Shepler's ferry with hotel baggage service at the dock. Easy walk to all restaurants, shops on & off Main street, but on "quieter" section. After a day of fort touring and carriage tours around the island, the hotel's pool... more

We stayed at the Lake View Hotel for one night with our two children (5) and (3). We had a turret room with a view of Main Street and the water. We all enjoyed sitting by the window and watching the horses and people on Main Street. The room was pretty and comfortable. Our beds were very comfortable and it... more

I booked the room the morning of our late afternoon arrival on a weekend of July 2009. It was an easy and smooth transaction. The staff was kind and professional. The hotel had the traditional Mackinac Island qualities such as old fashioned wall paper, furniture and rooms, but it all worked as it was all clean and well kept up.... more

We thought the Lakeview was great! We had never stayed there before, and we were pleased the whole time we were there. We booked the cheapest room, and it was a double queen overlooking the indoor pool. The room was clean and more than we expected. We've stayed elsewhere on the Island, and at times our rooms have been just... more
