If you get the single queen room, you'll have plenty of space to move around. I was really pleased to see how nice and clean the room and bathroom was when I moved in for the weekend. I will be visiting St. Ignace in the summer and have already made plans to stay at the Driftwood. Attached dining and bar... More

I recently arrived in Mackinac City on a cold rainy night in November, expecting the large hotels to be open. Turned out to be quite an eerie ghost town. I headed over the bridge into St. Ignace and stumbled upon the Driftwood, which was like an oasis. Terrific on-site sports bar and full restaurant. Clean, updated rooms with quality mattresses....

Very nicely surprised upon our arrival at the remodeled rooms plus the bathroom expansion. We had heard the rooms were updated, but we weren't expecting new carpet, new windows/doors, new expanded bathroom, flat screen tv. The mattress even seemed new. What a great room for the money! Convenient location wth the restaurant right there. Casino coupons, ferry coupons etc. available... More

Stopped into the Bar & Grill to grab something to eat on our way through town. We were ignored, while the bartender was socalizing, prior to getting our drink order taken. Took forever for him to take our food order, so went into the dining room, informed the front desk of our situation, and that we would be coming in... More

We stayed here when a family member was briefly hospitalized in St. Ignace. Based on some quick searching, it was the best off season deal. The room was clean and quiet and our dog was welcome. Staff in the restaurant were accommodating with some special needs for our ill son. The in room fridge and coffee maker were appreciated but... More
