We had wanted to make a special trip to this location for many years so we finally decided we would go for lunch. Honestly glad we did not spend the extra money to spend the night it would have been a huge mistake!! All the décor was very out dated and almost worn out. The staff didn't speak much English....

I have to tell you I was awaiting this for 5 months. My wife and I loved the movie "Somewhere In Time" and this hotel is very special to us and has been for 30 years. The hotel is really a grand step back in time and has the eccentric allure to it in every way. The architecture is amazing... More

We have been to the Grand Hotel before in the fall. This visit was not nearly as enjoyable. Although it was promoted as a mother's day weekend there were alot of other groups. Some staying at the hotel and others coming and going. We never got the feeling that we were communally celebrating mothers day. The service appeared to have... More

I have wanted to visit Mackinac Island and stay at the Grand Hotel after watching 'Somewhere in Time' when I was a kid. After many years, a lot of planning and flying over two continents, I did on 3 May and it was worth the trip, absolutely and totally. One might feel a little letdown after achieving a much dreamed...

I have always wanted to stay at this hotel, so finally my significant other and me made the trip up. We got a discounted rate since it was opening weekend. Breakfast and dinner were included with our package. We thoroughly enjoyed the dining experiences in the hotel. The room was very clean and comfortable. The color scheme was a bit... More

Pay for a name but not the quality. If you want to pay twice what a hotel is worth, this is the place for you. They are so full of themselves it is beyond belief. Save yourself the hassle and annoyance and stay anywhere else on the island for a fraction of the cost and twice the quality.

However when you are paying over $200 a night a little customer service is not a lot to ask for. They have a big sign behind the desk posted "NO TIPPING" my comment "who would you tip there is...

We are so pleased to hear that you have enjoyed the hotel from a new perspective. While some enjoy the hustle and bustle of peek season, it is nice to hear that you have now experienced two variations of our quieter times. We hope to see you again in the fall. More

From the moment you arrive on the island, its very well organized. We arrived at the docks and the employees said the luggage will be taken to the hotel. The Grand Hotel also has a carriage to meet you and to take you to the Grand Hotel about 6 blocks away. We have been to the island yearly and stay... More
