2/10 Poor

NASTY

Horrible. Sealing cracked and paint is literally falling as if there was at one point a leak. Lampshade barely holding onto the wire rim of the lamp. The WORST PART? tub WOULDNT DRAIN, which meant no showers or baths available. We had the room for 2 days, Waited 1.5 days for them to tell us the drain was fixed ONLY FOR IT TO IMMEDIATELY BACK UP. management said we would have to take up our issues with 3rd party booking agent. NEVER RETURNING TO THIS LOCATION.

Laurie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

For it being located right on the beach, it was great. The only down side was the bathroom had black mold all on and around the ceiling.
Blake, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Older roadside motel that has been kept in reasonable condition. The room was simple and clean. The staff were very nice. The place is just what I wanted and expected.

Esther, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and great price beds were comfortable staff was really amazing polite and courteous and knowledgeable of the area and recommending things to see and do. My only complaint is hot tub didn't work and pool was very cold but the lake views and beach was well worth it. I will definitely return and highly recommend

A wounderful experience

The owner and staff were wonderful, they helped with needs. My husband and I had a beautiful view from our cabin and we would book another reservation at Bell's Melody Motel.

Mint, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Property has a small beach, fire pit and seats to see the bridge all day and the ferries leaving port for the island. The room was decent sized with older beds and quiet.
Angela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Outdated but clean. Staff was very friendly. There was no heat and no water pressure to take a shower.
Malinda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were very nice and helpful. We had a beautiful view of the bridge and fireworks. The hotel was very outdated, it had 2 beds, so it all was good. We just needed a place to crash for the night!

Pictures are not accurate. Would not stay here again.

2/10 Poor

Worst Motel in Mackinac

Room pictured was not the room received. Rooms were very dirty, pool was very dirty, no cable, no A/C, mold everywhere. We did not stay there.
Jonathan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The check in ladies were lovely. Our room had a gorgeous view. It is a budget motel so thats what we got. Outdated yes but clean and inexpensive.
Terry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Was pleasantly surprised. Not sure what we were getting to at first. They provided a free upgrade and the room we were provided with was recently remodeled and so was very clean. It was on the 2nd floor with a balcony overlooking the Lake (Huron) and the beach where some people were enjoying themselves. Didn't get a change to check out the indoor/outdoor pool.
Todd, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Attempts at room upgrades poorly done. Beds had older, well used mattresses. Ice ands soda machines outside the room not working. Booked 2 nights, stayed one.
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The rooms could have been a little cleaner
Kenneth, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Was on a motorcycle to find a gravel drive way. Dead bugs on the wall, air condition to small for the cottage, tv didn’t work, shower was at a height for someone 5 foot at most. Shower surrounded falling a part
Erin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice little place to stay for a night.

The room was a little dated and didn't have many options to plug phones in, but overall pretty clean and comfortable. The room they put us in was on the end of the row so we had a nice little patio so that was a nice suprise. The pool/hot tub area could use a little cleaning and fixing up but the overall experience was worth the money!
1-night trip

2/10 Poor

WE didn't like too much. Asked for a room in one of the properties they moved us to it. That room Had a bathtub that had a new tub insert but the corner had been broken off and you could see the old rusty tub. We stayed but will never go back and that's too bad because we have stayed there before. The first desk clerk that checked us in was nice but when we came back we had a different one and she became indignant. If anyone stays here check out your room first.
Barbara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Picture under the motel post showed a swimming pool, and there was no pool. But did a a good view of the bridge
