Pet-friendly Hotels in Saint Ignace

We've gone to the Mackinaw City/Mackinaw Island area for 5 of the last 6 years. We always try to go off-season, so we ended up at this HI Express in St. Ignace this year. First time at this location. We generally don't think much of the hotels in this part of Michigan. They are solely ”tourist” properties, and they seem to be poorly maintained by the hotel owners. Nevertheless they charge over-premium prices and should be doing better. Booked a lake-facing balcony room. On arrival however the hotel switched us to a ground floor ”pet friendly” room I travel with a certified service dog, NOT a pet. This is an ADA violation. Much of the room was filthy. Carpets worn and huge stains on the (from the ”unfriendly pets” previous??). The sofa smelled and couldn't be used. Bathroom was clean and water pressure and hot water adequate. Security lock on the door broken, and the exterior balcony door lock was faulty as well. HI Express breakfast was done very well, with all the proper items available and all the equipment working properly. Hotel would not address the issues with our room claiming they were ”fully booked”. We would not stay here again.

Perfect location on the shore! Fire pits and free breakfast were amazing! The staff were helpful and accommodating!

We decided to use St. Ignace as a base for trips to Mackinac Island, Mackinaw City, and various spots in the U.P. We chose Cedar Hill based on other reviews and the location. The room was small. The AC was either freezing or warm; it froze up one day and we were left w no AC at all overnight. I understand many places have shortages with staff and housekeeping. If this were the case, I'm fine if the management let's us know. But, our beds were made only once on the second morning, and only after we inquired. Trash was taken out and we got new towels only after we asked. The breakfast was limited. On our second day there, our keys did not work. They gave us new ones at breakfast. Those didnt work. We walked down,and the front desk gave us new ones. We went back, and they still did not work. My husband called and asked to have someone please come up and fix it, and also open our door. The man came up, looked at it. At first he said the code was reading that our deadbolt was on, but we insisted no one was in the room. He then said that he thought the battery was dead. But, he had to go back, as he didn't have the tools to get us into our room! Over 20 more minutes passed until he came back and got us into our room. We were now delayed close to an hour, and missed an appointment we had made on Mackinac Island! I'm sure you get the point...we were disappointed in our stay. Luckily we were not in the rooms much, but bc of the AC, it was often uncomfortable and hard to sleep.

The check-in woman could have been friendlier (she wasn't unfriendly, just not friendly). The best thing about the motel is that it is almost immediately after you turn right on US 2. The motel itself was clean, a bit worn perhaps, with a tiny (by 21st century standards) TV. Check out was easy, just drop your keys in a box. Would I stay here again? Sure, if I'm simply looking for a no-frills experience--a place to sleep and then move on.
