Stayed in b12 with 2 queens, small table and 4 side chairs. Nice size room and freshly painted. Bathroom seemed brand new. No a/c but a fan in the closet. No phone but can use cell. 3rd floor quite a climb but ok for us. Location just at end of town so looks out over a grassy area (the dog... More

I stayed at the Windermere a few years ago in October (my third trip to the Island). The staff behind the desk barely spoke to us, offered no hospitality at all. And, most times when we went into the lobby, there was no one behind the desk. When we did ask a question, we were given a very short, uninterested... More

I would avoid Windermere. Very overpriced and a nasty older lady behind the front desk hiding in her office, unhelpful and always talking on her phone about personal problems. She gave an unattractive scowl at the guests, no smiles here. Other negatives are: A very poor continental breakfast, a few rolls and coffee, no plates or fruit. No internet in... More

Third time here, and we felt that the overall feel dropped a notch. After staying at other B&B's, I feel this is not a very good value. You are better off staying at the other end of Main St, near St. Anne's. Better breakfasts and less expensive, not to mention friendlier on that end.

This was our first trip to the Windermere and to Mackinac Island. We love the Windermere! If you are looking for tv and internet games, look elsewhere. There are is no tv or internet in the guest rooms, only downstairs in the lobby and sunroom. We didn't miss them at all. We had a lovely lake view from our 3rd... More

For the last 17 years we have done a family vacation on Mackinac Island. Typically, this includes 2 families and grandma so we rent anywhere from 2-3 rooms. Through the years we have stayed at many Inn's or Hotels. As of late we have chosen the Windermere and will once again visit there in July. What makes the Windermere stand... More

A nice hotel. Romms are a bit dated but the location is wonderful. The best part of staying at this hotel is enjoying the evenings and mornings sitting on the porch that has a wonderful views of the lake. Not all rooms have lake views. Glen, the long time porter will greet you at the docks. Before Glen it was... More

We come to the island a few times every year, but this is our first (and only) stay at this hotel. We decided to splurge and choose a lake view room for our 1 night stay when I phoned for reservations. Surprise!...if you craned your head to the very right of the window, you could see the lake...disappointing! No toiletries...disappointing!... More

The Windermere was not our first choice. The bed and breakfast we originally booked did not have a record of our reservations. Not to worry. Glen, our porter contacted the Windermere and they had one room available for our two night stay. Glen transported our luggage to the Windermere and up three flights of stairs. The room was small but... More
