Round Island, Michigan hotel rooms at the Independent

"All is good."

"The hotel is not a large building, but several smaller ones, with motel style rooms (they have a door outside). The property is a bit hilly and it is right next to the shore (albeit mostly rocks). There are some great views of Mackinaw Island! The room was clean but the shower/toilet part of the bathroom was small. The pool room is in the main office building and we decided to not use it (early May was cold). Breakfast was fine: typical hotel breakfast. Note to Best Western: individual milk cartons are a better option than the milk in the dispenser -- it was mostly empty. Staff was friendly. The room was just under $100, which is the best selling point. I thought it was fine but the family vetoed my opinion. In all, we will probably try another hotel next time."

"Great service staff was very helpful and polite"

"Nice inn. They were still setting things up for the season. Good place to stay but their emails were confusing w pricing info that did not align w info from Expefia. Charged me correctly but the confusion was significant."

"We got in late and had to be up and back on the road early, and was so sad we had a beautiful sunrise and view right outside our window,but had to go so only got to enjoy it for a moment.My only complaint was the bed was so high for my short legs.Would love to come back when we can enjoy it longer."

"The place is being renovated but honestly its overlap deteriorating. Everything is done cheaply. Breakfast sucks "

"If you are looking for a pet friendly stay on Mackinac Island don’t go to Mission Point. There are no other places to stay which are pet friendly so you may want to stay off the island. We will NEVER stay at Mission Point again. We paid a premium to stay there with our small dog. AFTER we arrived we were given a form to sign stating we could not leave our dog alone in the room even to go to eat at the restaurant on the grounds or we would be charged an additional $250. Weather being only 40 degrees we were told the back deck outside was pet friendly if we wanted to eat there. The coffee shop in our building was closed. The only other coffee shop or restaurant was about a quarter mile away from our room. The “pet friendly “ building was completely isolated from the main buildings. It is an older building that has a musty smell even though everything appears to be clean. The main restaurants and shop in town are about 15-20 minute walk from the room or a short carriage ride away. Staff was very friendly and we had no complaints with them. Our main complaint is that we had to pay a premium to bring our pet, then we were given a kind of a bait and switch on being able to leave our pet in the room after we arrived so we couldn’t go eat in a restaurant, there was no room service available to get food delivered to our room. If you want to take your pet to the island do not stay at Mission Point. Find a hotel off the island to stay like the Hampton Inn in Saint Ignace."

"Great place"

"Heater in our room only blew cold air. Told the front desk. Could have switched rooms but we had already unloaded everything. But they provided a space heater so we were good. "
