I strongly prefer St. Ignace to Mackinaw City: I think the tackiness factor is a lot lower on the north side of the bridge. It’s easier to get a feel for St. Ignace as a town that hosts tourists, while Mackinaw City seems like a town of tourists.

My favorite motel in St. Ignace closed between the last visit and this one. It was a family run place atop a hill on the north side of town, with a nice view over the lake and across to the Island. Since we were spending two nights, we looked instead to pile up reward points with Holiday Inn, and booked a room at the recently renovated HI Express.

This hotel shares a lot in common with the place we used to stay. It’s in the same general location, on State Street (old US 2), on the former road to the Soo. The Holiday Inn Express sits right on the waterfront, however, with many rooms having a lakeview. Like much of Lake Huron’s western shore, there’s not much of a beach here, and the actual shoreline was both rocky and mucky. It was much better just looking out our sliding glass door than walking out and around.

The ‘beachview room’ was large, and comfortably held two beds and a sofa bed. It was fairly deep, and had more than enough room for the five of us and our luggage. The end of it was angled, and the sofa bed was along that angled wall, and still stayed largely out of our way. The renovations were finished a year before our stay, and the whole facility was in good shape. It was busy, too, with lots of families staying here for both short and extended vacation stays.

Like all HIEs, it came with breakfast, which we visited early to both avoid the crowds and catch the early ferry. The hotel was very convenient to the docks, leaving less than a mile’s drive south to the large parking lots for the ferries. We made good use of the in-room coffee maker and fridge, stowing our shrinking store breakfast supplies, which were dwindling as we reached the end of our UP swing.

Rates here in summer are steeper than you might expect, but given the location, demand is high. The hotel is only open from May to October, and rates increase as peak travel times approach. We paid $125 a night for two nights, and that seemed fair given the context; the same room in early May could be had for $75. Without time to find a new non-chain place, and given the free breakfast for both mornings, this hotel worked out fine. Close

Place was clean. Came with a king-size bed which was short in length. Lightbulbs for bathroom and over sink blew a fuse right when we turned them on. There was a hot tub in the room which did not drain unless you held it in place.Room was ...Read more
