Holiday Inn Express St Ignace, St Ignace

We had lakefront view and it was beautiful - the Seagulls get a little carried away sometimes. Very good breakfast! Maids were good cleaning up the rooms! The only complaint I have is the room we were in needs new mattresses badly! Otherwise, enjoyed it!

This hotel was clean smelled great and had great views of the water and Mackinaw Island. The breakfast area was busy, but the staff did a great job of keeping it stocked. We had a lake view room on the first floor with a spa and were really happy with the view. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a pleasant visit to the Holiday Inn Express in St Ignace. Lobby was clean and welcoming. Jamie at the front desk was friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and had a great view. Room was clean except for a pretzel under the air conditioner. Breakfast area was clean and plentiful. Breakfast area was busy, but we sat on patio area. Women stocking breakfast area were friendly and kept everything filled. There was no problem with running out of any breakfast items. Beds were comfortable. Hotel was quiet. I was very surprised to read a review stating there were spiders and bugs at this hotel. We did not experience anything like that. Sunrise over the lake was beautiful.

Did not like the staff. The maid was very unfriendly. She continued to vaccuum as we walked past and did not care about the noise. She stretched the cord out and made trip and almost fall. I told her and she was very ugly. The maids left the carts in the way and I could not walk past. The food was awful. Same food day after day and did not taste good. The room was big. There really was not a beach. We tried to swim but it was very rocky.the view was not the best.

The hotel was in a great location. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They give you casino tokens which was very generous. Also, the bed was very comfortable, the view of the lake from our balcony was just beautiful. Also, the complimentary breakfast was delicious. The price was very affordable -- what more could you ask for :)

I'll start by saying that the exterior of the hotel makes it one of the more attractive hotels in town. And there are many things to consider: Likes: Bought a lakefront room, and LOVED the view. Bonus: got a corner room, so it had an additional window. Room was ok-sized. "Beach" was quiet. Really liked the pool. It was small, but the spa was attached, so you could sit in it and watch your kids swim. And the water in both were comfortable. Dislikes: Not even close to the usual Holiday Inn standards. Bed was cheap and springy, not the comfortable mattresses I've experienced elsewhere. Bed and shower had hair (lots) when we arrived. Headboard showed lots of smears (of who knows what) when the light shined on it. Room was rather dilapidated--sprinkler hanging out of the wall, some wallpaper peeling, screen on patio door was half off, etc. And the breakfast was horrible. I stayed at a HI in Indiana that seemed fresh enough to be from a restaurant. This was NOT comparable. Eggs were watery mush, gravy cold, biscuits rock-hard, bacon limp and greasy. And that was when they weren't out of items. And there was no-where, and I mean no-where to sit. That was a problem every day we were there. But the worst part was the bugs. SPIDERS EVERYWHERE!!! I read that from some other reviews, and thought they were just picky. Nope. Everywhere. Couldn't even use the patio. Talked to the front desk about it, and she said that St. Ignace just had a lot of spiders this year. After I got tired of killing them in our room, front desk had someone spray twice during our stay. Hubby still went to the patio and killed 10 in about 2 minutes. My kids spent all of the time in the room playing "kill the spiders with a shoe" on the patio--no joke. Did I mention that the internet never worked during our stay. Informed front desk, who told us to call their technician, with whom we spent AN HOUR of our vacation on the phone with. Finally, they decided that it was not our computer (no kidding, because we use wireless daily on it). But it still never was fixed. All in all, I was rather disappointed. Had I paid $50 a night for the Motel 6, I would have been fine. But I was paying $120 a night for a HOLIDAY INN!!! And that left a sour taste in my mouth. If you can get a good deal, take a chance on it--there are worse hotels in the area. But it is DEFINITELY overpaying to pay what they charge for a room.

Hotel was nice however, we were near the top floor and around 2am the wind started blowing and there was loose sofit that started flapping and making noise. We were unable to sleep at all as it sounded like a freight train rolling through our room. We told management the next morning however they did nothing to accomadate us for a miserable night at their hotel. We would not stay there again and do not recommend it.
