    Clean. Cozy. The bathroom toilet and sink are very low but can you complain? It’s very clean and great view of the bridge from the pool and shoreline.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was clean and fairly updated. There was a kuerig coffee maker in the room. The ferry to the island and shops were all within walking distance

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Location! Beautiful view of the bridge.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Location is #1 right beside the lake, park and lighthouse. No breakfast is included. The motel was built in the 50's, but well maintained and clean and the staff was friendly.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Excellent as always!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Welcomed by a pleasant smile and professional staff. Our room was charming, clean, and a lovely view of the bridge. Location was exceptional with walking distance to downtown and Lighthouse next door. Pool was clean and well maintained.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Only place we will stay in Mackinaw City anymore. Clean, friendly, affordable and a great location

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The Riviera is our go to place when in Mackinaw. It has bear minimum amenities, but is always clean and well maintained. Staff is very courteous. Within walking distance of several restraunts, shopping, historical sites and ferries to Mackinaw Island.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Nice, quiet property. Clean and we'll maintained. Everyone was friendly and what a beautiful spot for viewing lake and bridge

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We love how close this hotel is to the Mackinaw Bridge and the water. The view is amazing.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff was great, I thought that we were supposed to be facing the lake but weren't but that was fine. Bed was comfy, the bugs were intense but also not their problem. Overall a good stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff was very friendly. We were able to walk right out to the beach. The room was quiet and felt isolated from a lot of noise.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great view! Clean room and good price

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This is an original motel, I think. It's been beautifully maintained. The recent bathroom reno is excellent. Our room gave us all we wanted while we prepped our boat to launch: fridge, Kuerig coffee maker, comfortable lounge chair, breakfast table and most important, a very comfy bed. Plus, it's right on the water surrounded by a park!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great vibe for those who live views of the lake and bridge

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The room was clean. There wasn't a microwave in the room, but there was one on the property that could be used. Having a refrigerator in the room is always handy. We could sit and take pictures of the lake and Mackinac Bridge on the beach behind the hotel. It was too cold to go in the pool or the lake. The hotel was within walking distance to the ferry. However after walking all day on the island, it was nice that there was free transportation back to the hotel.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Looks right at the Straits of Mackinac and the Mackinac Bridge.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very cozy place. The staff was very nice and helpful.l really liked view of bridge and lake. I would stay there again.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Clean and compact room. Good for the two of us. Pretty much a nice bed and a good bathroom and tiled shower.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Our stay was excellent. They had a shuttle to take us to the ferry to get to Mackinac Island. The rooms were clean and had parking.
