I have taken a group to Mackinac Island twice. Both times we stayed at the Murray Hotel. Both times the Murray hotel was easy to work with and so hospitable when we landed on the island - meeting us on the dock and sending us off when we left. Each room is different. The dinner and breakfasts were wonderful!!

My family and I make a trip Mackinac Island almost every summer. Staying at the Murray hotel is a staple. The staff is incredibly helpful. The rooms can be small however on the Island there is so much to do outside it doesn't bother us. There are food options within the hotel and nearby. We love this place and have... More

The hotel makes you feel like you're back in time. I do find the rooms a bit clashed in their fabric choices and their wallpaper, but it adds to its old character. The staff was friendly. We were upgraded just because we were the first ones of the season to come (I think that's why). The room was basic. It... More

Our family of four stayed at the Murray Hotel last July for two nights. We had a corner room, which was a nice size, facing their courtyard area. We never heard any of the street noise. The beds were comfortable and the room clean. We did the breakfast buffet, which was nice because my boys are big eaters! But, what... More

I have not yet stayed in this hotel, but I did have the opportunity this year to enjoy the restaurant inside Amigo Burrito. The portion was huge, and really very good. I love Mexican food, and this was the real deal. Think I spent no more than $7, and probably had the best meal I'd had in days. The hotel... More

The Murray Hotel was right smack in the middle of town where everything was going on day and night. The employees were outstanding and are well trained in taking care of their guest on the spot. We did love the freshly baked cookies and the smell of fudge. What a place to stay especially on Mackinac Island in the summer.... More

I have stayed on the island multiple times, but this was my first stay at the Murray. We made this reservation at the last minute. Therefore, the choice of hotels was limited. That being said, we were happy with our stay. The staff was very friendly, and chocolate chip cookies are delivered to the rooms every night. The room was... More

We gave stayed on the island several times but this was our first at the Murray Hotel and it won't be our last. We loved the charm of the 100 plus building. Our room was very clean as was the whole hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Truly feels like home away from home. Each night they come around with... More

We have stayed in various hotels and B&Bs on Mackinac over the years. If you've been to the island before, you know that most places downtown have small-ish rooms and small bathrooms when you get a basic room. You give up size for being in such a prime location. The basic Queen-sized room at the Murray is no exception. I... More

What a delightful stay at the Murray Hotel on Mackinaw Island. The staff were accommodating to some last minute changes. I was in a double queen room and woke to the soothing sound of the horses clomping down the cobblestone streets. My view was of Market street with Lake Michigan to the left and the postoffice to my right. I... More
