The location is beautiful , rooms were ornately decorated, the pool area was also well done ...

Getting away from the triple digit temperatures at our home location was only one of the many wonderful experiences at this wonderful hotel...

...Besides the dining room, our stay was filled with sweet memories at a romantic, elegant, beautiful location...

...Location and amenities worth every penny...

...The location of the small flat screen tv was placed off to the right side of the bed causing the pole on the bed frame to be in the view of the tv...

...Such a wonderful hotel location and we had no view of Mackinac when in the rooms...

Amazing hotel, excellent staff and incomparable location!...

This hotel is the best of everything- beauty, location, service, and amenities...

...Like many of the areas around Lake Michigan, Mackinac Island was not lacking in beautiful and picturesque Victorian homes and gardens but, add to this the horse drawn carriages, the atmosphere comes alive with a sense of traveling back in time with one foot remaining in the present...

...Alex Graham tends the brilliant music all over Grand Hotel, and this year Daniel Rottenberg offers some ragtime fun each evening as guests are gathering for dinner...

...Every single detail is beautifully crafted to bring your mind and body to a simpler and slower yet exceedingly more elegant and ostentatious time. The space, people, and entire experience are stunning and make you feel like nobility from generations ago...

...The real kick in the teeth moment was when I wandered down to the Grand’s Outlet store and saw exact bedding and decor items from our room for extreme discounts for sale...

...Our room was above the piano in the parlor and we could hear the music just like we were sitting in the parlor itself...

...Here are the things we loved: the view from the hotel porch, the gorgeous flowers all over the hotel grounds, the elegance of the hotel carpet, furnishings in the public areas, and the gym, though small, was adequate... In general the room was nice, but the carpet had numerous holes in it, the pillows on the couches were stained, and the furniture needed lots of touchups...

...It was beautiful and the service, food, decorations were superb. A very good jazz trio was featured for every dinner, a harpist played for tea time in the afternoon, and a decent band played for entertainment in the ballroom... There was also a very good pianist/singer in the Cupula Bar on the top floor...

...The dinner band was outstanding as well... The afternoon tea was very well attended and with the harp player it was very enjoyable...

...Every little detail added to the charm of the hotel, the real metal room keys, the turn down service with chocolate on our pillows every night, the beautiful flowers that were still in bloom on the hotel grounds, so many little things that were just so perfect...

...Music during dinner was a bit too loud...

...The music wasn’t suitable for Grand Experience seniors. We expected big band music... Music should be geared to the guests, in this case overwhelmingly seniors...

...The overall feeling and charm of the place was right up our alley, as lovers of old buildings and 1930 to 60s era jazz, the ambiance, evening dress code and dancing really made the experience special and for this there is the 4th star...

...The music playing in the dining room, Terrace Lounge Parlor and other places throughout the Grand in simply beautiful, the rooms are amazing and service can’t be beat...

...My lovely wife really enjoys going dancing in the evening after dinner...

...It was a nice break in the day and gave us a chance to just relax and enjoy the music and environment...

...My "Daffodil Room" was beautiful with a view of the tea garden and the front porch...

The Grand Hotel is fine if you like over done decor with beautiful fabrics and trims and a vibrant color scheme... Dining should have a relaxed atmosphere, be quiet, so that you can enjoy and savor each course... There you felt rushed, the food was often not hot, with an atmosphere of “slops on”...

...The meals were excellent and they had live bands in the dining room & again later in the evening in a ballroom where large crowds gathered for dancing!...

...Live piano player set the tone...

...It’s still beautifully maintained, still providing harp music at tea and piano jazz in the dining room...

We have been coming to the Grand Hotel for 30 years, in fact, I made it known before we arrived hoping to get one of the rooms we requested. Not only was our request for a room upgrade not granted but we had the worst room we have ever had there (187)... The room was a small interior room with no view, the bathtub was very small and hard to get into because the walls were very tall...

...rooms are horrible and loud, you could hear everything that was been said between guests and hotel employees walls are paper thin...

...The hotel has over 600 rooms and many, the more expensive ones, face the lake and majestic Mackinaw bridge... One word of caution, the room views can be a bit "iffy" when booking the loser cost rooms (and they aren't cheap) so be mindful of the room you select or are given when checking in...

...The second at 8am asking to clean my room because I didn't put the do not disturb sign on my door... My room had coffee, but no coffee maker... The room had AC and then an additional portable AC hooked up to the window, however wasn't properly installed...

...Needed to change to 3 people and spoke to reservations to upgrade to a deluxe king lakeview balcony deluxe. The woman assured me that we had a front facing high room which would afford a perfect view of fireworks on the 4th... Arrived on June 30 and they put us in a west facing 1st floor room with NO view of fireworks... He then promised a room available on July 3 to move... Asked to speak to the manager and the desk people disappeared into the back room and left me standing at the desk... The room we’re in has chipped paint falling off the balcony railings...

...Conferences usually get a discounted rate for booking in the same hotel, so we took advantage of that and a king room came to be about $500 a night, which while not a steal is also not a bad deal when rooms can sometimes be $700+. This would be a good thing, except… our room looks positively aged and in disrepair... Our room’s carpet is threadbare in places, and I can see they patched the carpets in other spaces of the hotel, so I’m not really sure why they would allow a guest room to be this bad... I submitted an in-house survey while going the wifi network at around 10pm and we received a phone call to our room while sleeping, followed by a text message to my husband’s phone from the front of house staff acknowledging our review and offering a comp’ed bottle of wine for our trouble... The real kick in the teeth moment was when I wandered down to the Grand’s Outlet store and saw exact bedding and decor items from our room for extreme discounts for sale...

We were originally charged $1400 per night for a room the size of motel 6 and a bathroom only big enough for one person!...

...Our room was above the piano in the parlor and we could hear the music just like we were sitting in the parlor itself. The walls were paper thin, we could hear people talking in the rooms surrounding us, walking down the hall and a dog constantly barking down the hall...

...The room rates were extremely high, but we expected this... What we did not like was: that we paid for 2 “amenities” to be in our room upon arrival... In general the room was nice, but the carpet had numerous holes in it, the pillows on the couches were stained, and the furniture needed lots of touchups... At $2000 per night including the meal plan for a room with no view, with a balcony with one chair we think the Grand Hotel is not a good value...

...For the first time staying, our assigned room was smaller than usual and the conversations from room next to us was heard making this a bit uncomfortable... The restricted window opening was not necessary in our all adult room... I requested each day a room change but Dallas and Michael said they could not accommodate... Thank you, Ginny (Virginia Ripslinger) Room 388...

Stayed here for 2 nights with a bus tour group... Although the rooms are very nice, you do need to understand that they do not have all of the usual technical amenities that we are accustomed to...

...Note that formal attire (Jacket/tie for men; formal dress/pants for women) is required after 6PM daily in the parlor and dining room, so pack your suit...

We were in a suite, and when you spend $5,000+ for three nights, you want it to feel like vacation... When we arrived, there were dirty clothes from guests past in the room...

...We originally thought we booked a three day stay for 1500 dollars but the hotel claimed it was two... Room was beautiful but walls paper thin and air conditioner so loud that it woke you up every time it turned on...

...The room was small, the bed uncomfortable, the room temperature too hot or to cold,, and it smelled funny... It was overcrowded -we couldn't even get into some of the events...

...Same with the room, no robes, single shampoo bottle, no moisturizer or conditioner and dirty dishes and glasses were often left in the room when it was cleaned...

...They have raised prices on everything and cut back on amenities that made The Grand so special...

This was my first time staying at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island and I was definitely pleased with the service and the accommodations... My "Daffodil Room" was beautiful with a view of the tea garden and the front porch...

...We had a lake view room and the windows were large enough to enjoy the beautiful view...

The hotel and rooms were great, I thought that the check in process was great until I learned two days into my stay that I was being charged to eat whether I ate at the hotel or not...

Originally booked a partial lake view balcony with partial view of fireworks for 4 in February - paid in full... He said he’d refund the surcharge we’d paid (over $1700) but that still didn’t get us any fireworks view... Looked at it today - small, queen bed, no room for the rollaway... Main dining food was overdone and cold...

...Conferences usually get a discounted rate for booking in the same hotel, so we took advantage of that and a king room came to be about $500 a night, which while not a steal is also not a bad deal when rooms can sometimes be $700+... The real kick in the teeth moment was when I wandered down to the Grand’s Outlet store and saw exact bedding and decor items from our room for extreme discounts for sale... I truly can’t believe they are utilizing bedding they are currently selling off at a public outlet that they advertise... All in all, I would say I am extremely disappointed after seeing the Grand as a little girl, our stay is so bad... We stay at a lot of boutique and historic hotels across the county and have never had such poor accommodations, especially at this price point... Come pay $10 and get a drink on the porch, but stay at probably any other hotel on the island...

...We were very disappointed in the service we received and we felt like the food could have been much better considering the steep price... Just sayin the experience was a bit disappointing ☹️...

We were originally charged $1400 per night for a room the size of motel 6 and a bathroom only big enough for one person! After complaining they gave us a $280 credit and some meals which were terrible to average, so the total cost was still $1200 per night!... The worst hotel experience and the most expensive ever...

...The room rates were extremely high, but we expected this... What we did not like was: that we paid for 2 “amenities” to be in our room upon arrival... We would recommend not coming to the hotel during the summer months, though the heavy convention visitors probably continues in other months... At checkout we were charged for a coffee and several other things in the coffee shop that we never entered... There were also $250 in odd breakfast charges... At $2000 per night including the meal plan for a room with no view, with a balcony with one chair we think the Grand Hotel is not a good value...

We stayed at The Grand Hotel for one night with dinner included... The hotel will also nickel and dime you to death with resort fees, luggage transfer fees, taxi service, etc..... I guess it is called "The Grand Hotel" because it will cost you a grand to stay there, not because it is grand itself... On a positive note, the hotel and the grounds itself are beautiful but I would save your money and just get a day pass for $10 and stay elsewhere...

...Hosts made us get buffet even though it was only 30 minutes left and 150 is ridiculous. Manager or something came over asking if we were done with buffet we didn’t even get 2 “courses” didn’t even get to try the desserts... Just found out my boyfriend got charged twice too, absolutely garbage... Only negative thing that happened on our vacation was that hotel...

...I was worried when it was sold in 2019; I don't know if I changed or it's the new management, but the magic is gone... We had better meals at the Yankee Rebel Tavern... I would have understood if this was the beginning of the season, but it was mid-October... I felt like the Grand was "too old" for me (and I'm 50)... But I don't think I could recommend the Grand to anyone under 65; Baby Boomers will find the reheated food nostalgic...

...We originally thought we booked a three day stay for 1500 dollars but the hotel claimed it was two. The dinner the first night was 285 dollars and wine for the house was an extra 25 dollars a glass... I called the front desk to say how disappointed I was and they offered a 3 night stay for basically the price of two nights that included breakfast and dinner... But they charge for everything and our stay was still close to 2500 for 3 days even with the package... If you drink 3 glasses of wine with a five course meal, it’s easy to spend 200 a day on wine alone... But again it was built over a hundred years ago... Horses are wonderful and nostalgic but 14 dollars for the short ride to town per couple...

We were in a suite, and when you spend $5,000+ for three nights, you want it to feel like vacation... These are the little details that make the experience feel cheap...

...We booked our stay during a sale, where they listed what you would receive in that package... We were told we would receive discounts at their restaurants, but most of the Grand Hotel restaurants were not open, and the one that was open was very resistant to give us the discount...

...A breakfast and dinner is included with each night of your stay and you will not be disappointed, five course dinner and buffet/menu for breakfast, five stars all the way...

...It was very expensive but we chose the Fall Offer that included breakfast, lunch and dinner... The hot tub was barely warmer than a bath and the heated pool and was frankly a waste of time to visit and takes a lot of effort to go down the hill to it only to be disappointed... The average glass of wine was $ 20 US, about $ 28 Cdn... That is almost 3 times what we would pay for wine at home in Canada for a glass... We left $ 5 at our bedside table after the first night and cleaning staff did not take it!... This was closing weekend, yes they close end of October...

...Food and drink were very good and we expect restaurant wine markups of 200 or 300 percent, but our Malbec was closer to 500% over most liquor store prices...

...The portions were extremely small and the food was not hot. The dinner rolls tasted like they came from a grocery store... These dinners ere over 100 dollars... The 45 dollar breakfast was better, but 45 dollars is way too much... In the bar 20 dollars for a glass of average wine... the least expensive room here is over 800 dollars... If you are planning on visiting stay somewhere else and pay 10 dollars to tour the property...

...Drink prices were as you'd expect: very high... The added insult of a noisy elevator next to our room just contributed to our (two couples) decision to avoid the Grand Hotel in the future...

...Food was great and room was lovely though located directly under the Cupola Bar.. Costs have increased greatly (room, breakfast, dinner was $1,200+) and tipping has been added - not required. House wine was $22 per glass...

...And all the "extras" were overpriced... $68 for " high tea" for example...

...They have raised prices on everything and cut back on amenities that made The Grand so special. We will never go back again.. We used to love The Grand and stayed many times We will stay elsewhere when visiting the island...

...Even though the main dining room had a good dinner and breakfast, both were considerably over priced for the food quality and service. Less so for the Woods Restaurant which seemed like a better value...

...The grounds were clean and staff was very friendly, except at check-in, the "manager on duty" at check in cared very little that we are repeat guests who brought friends along this time who also had a subpar room...

...Housekeeping is clearly working very hard...

...The second at 8am asking to clean my room because I didn't put the do not disturb sign on my door...

...The bathroom has been nicely remodeled and is large and very functional...

...There were multiple days where my wife had to hunt down a housekeeper to get a washcloth or bath mat towel to shower before dinner...

...I was expecting a closet for the price we paid, but turned out we had a spacious room with two comfortable double beds, a sizable (and very clean) bathroom, and plenty of room to spread out our stuff...

...Full hotel maid service is restored and ensures the rooms stay clean, and neat, and comfortable...

...Everything, and I mean everything is well cared for and maintained from the rooms, to the halls, to the porch, to grounds...

...The hotel has never looked better improvements inside and out of this historic a must do. The public spaces look and feel fresh and our room was delightful...

...The room was clean and convenient for us on the Parlor level... The maid service visited our room at least 3 times a day to keep our room tidy...

...The shampoo wax the smallest one tiny bottle I e ever seen...

...In the bathroom, there was a bar of soap, a bottle of lotion and a bottle of shampoo... I don't need a new towel everyday; that is a waste, but there wasn't any night where the dirty washcloths from our bathroom were taken away...

...Housekeeping did an excellent job and I was very impressed with the level of service...

...The hotel was impeccably clean and even the basic room facing the back was lovely... The flowers on the porch were beautiful and the chairs were clean and not dusty!... We left $ 5 at our bedside table after the first night and cleaning staff did not take it!...

...The room was clean and all the staff with whom I interacted were friendly and helpful...

...Our room was expertly cleaned and kept daily by the hotel staff... Thank you all for making our stay perfect!...

...On a positive note the room was very nice as always and room service exceptional...

...After we'd leave to explore the island for the day, we'd return to a clean room. We'd get ready to go to dinner and then come back to a once again clean room and chocolate left on our pillows...

...Housekeeping staff was fabulous and very friendly...

...I loved the history, the hotel was spotless, and the staff very friendly...

...The attention to detail and the friendliness and kindness of each employee that I came in contact with was very much appreciated. It was nice receiving text messages daily in regards to events going on at the resort to not only remind me of possible things that might interest us in doing but also to just stay in the know... This was the first visit that I received them and they were very much appreciated... Another plus this trip was knowing that the pool was actually still open while we were there... We partook in the Afternoon Tea this trip and are so glad we did...

...There were however some pretty glaring oversights in maintenance and service... The service was also something my wife and I were surprised by... I have spent roughly 15 years in food service, starting as a porter in a hotel (none so nice as the grand of course) and then in kitchens as a cook and then chef... that I enjoyed but can't place, and not ONCE could one of the service staff answer a question about what they were serving... Along with this it seemed lacking in training on formal meal service with people reaching across people to bus or serve plates and pour water... Didn't bother us personally but if you claim to offer exceptional service you have to walk the walk afterward...

...In the bathroom, there was a bar of soap, a bottle of lotion and a bottle of shampoo... Most of the staff was kind and lovely, but sometimes service was disappointing... When we were in the ballroom, it took 20 minutes for my father to receive his drink which would have been understandable had it been busy, but there were only four tables taken, and the server had a conversation with another employee before leaving to go get the order... The doormen would open the door by extending out his arm rather than stepping outside and holding it so you don't have to pass sideways when carrying bags... Service is in the details, and there's opportunity for improvement...

...When I went to the front desk about changing rooms, they showed me another room, making sure it was to my liking, instead of just assigning another one to me. The service in the dining room was top notch... I have a few food allergies and the wait staff worked with me and the chef to ensure I wasn’t eating anything I should not, Breakfast and dinner menus offered many different choices... The wait staff was very attentive at every meal... There was a bed turn down service that left chocolates on the pillow each night... I rented a bicycle from the hotel also... I wish the young man who had explained the gear system had also mentioned how to adjust the seat - that would have been helpful up front instead of me having to figure it out myself... I don’t know how much the room cost because I was part of an all inclusive bus tour... The room was clean and all the staff with whom I interacted were friendly and helpful...

...However, when we arrived we were told no meal plan for us. We were told we would receive discounts at their restaurants, but most of the Grand Hotel restaurants were not open, and the one that was open was very resistant to give us the discount...

...The food was delicious, room service was prompt... The front desk did seem to get a little snippy when we asked a question regarding our luggage request back to the ferry- so we ended up just bringing it ourselves...

...Had a great stay on my birthday Oct 28/29/30... The breakfast and lunch buffet was great, Dinners were good although portions were very small but just right to ensure we ate them all!... The only thing we found was that the staff in the dinning room were inconsistent in their knowledge of dinner and anticipating our needs... On our last dinner, I was annoyed that our server kept calling my wife 'Moma' and me 'Papa'... He also complained that I had not closed my menu which is the way he would know I am ready to order!... Staff need to pay attention to who they are seating and find us people who are as smartly dressed as we were to sit next to... The hot tub was barely warmer than a bath and the heated pool and was frankly a waste of time to visit and takes a lot of effort to go down the hill to it only to be disappointed... The flowers on the porch were beautiful and the chairs were clean and not dusty!... We left $ 5 at our bedside table after the first night and cleaning staff did not take it!...

...The afternoon tea was very well attended and with the harp player it was very enjoyable...

...The hotel goes out of its way to make the weekend magical for its guests... It is 135 years young and the staff goes out of its way to make your stay magical... A breakfast and dinner is included with each night of your stay and you will not be disappointed, five course dinner and buffet/menu for breakfast, five stars all the way... The staff is multi-international and they truly enjoy their jobs and making you feel welcome...

...We were especially impressed with one of our servers from Indonesia named Danelia and one of the stable managers named Jeff who spent a great deal of time explaining the lives and positive treatment of the island's majestic carriage horses... There are many wonderful places to stay on the island but the Grand Hotel is the upmost in first class hospitality...

...the MParks Grand Experience had wonderful programming and the Hotel accommodated these events in a seamless manner... My only complaint is that I could not stay longer!...

...We originally thought we booked a three day stay for 1500 dollars but the hotel claimed it was two... I called the front desk to say how disappointed I was and they offered a 3 night stay for basically the price of two nights that included breakfast and dinner... Food is fabulous and service is best ever...

...I was very impressed with how attentive the staff was, how clean our room was and how amazing our breakfast and dinner was every day! Every little detail added to the charm of the hotel, the real metal room keys, the turn down service with chocolate on our pillows every night, the beautiful flowers that were still in bloom on the hotel grounds, so many little things that were just so perfect... Oh and get the Grand Pecan Ball, Yum!!!...

...The grounds, service and experience is like no other. From the dining room to the room service employees, they all take great pride in their work and it shows...

My husband surprised me for my birthday to stay here... It was not crowded and waitresses were clearly not interested... We had a reservation for the Woods and Australian waiting waited 45 minutes and we’re told to be on time... The tour of the museum horse barn wax a young Wonsan who led us there and told us to read... The concierge also made a reservation for us to go home but messed up sending us to the Woods restaurant which was not even open...

...A special shout out goes to Elizabeth Schweitzer and Kayvon who made every meal a wonderful occasion...

...There you felt rushed, the food was often not hot, with an atmosphere of “slops on”...

...Wait staff very professional and friendly... The pool had a infinity adult only pool that was heated nicely - we swam on September 19th!...

...Dinner service was somewhat disappointing as we waited at least 15 minutes to be acknowledged once we were seated... We asked the concierge but she had no info either, other than the short timeline to build the hotel...

...The server we had at breakfast was not friendly, didn't seem to have knowledge of the menu items, and appeared to be a bit lazy. My husband and I had to ask for drinks and flatware several times from other wait staff... Dinner that same day at the hotel was much better... The service was wonderful and the food was great... Housekeeping staff was fabulous and very friendly...

We were in a suite, and when you spend $5,000+ for three nights, you want it to feel like vacation... In the bathroom, there was a bar of soap, a bottle of lotion and a bottle of shampoo... The doormen would open the door by extending out his arm rather than stepping outside and holding it so you don't have to pass sideways when carrying bags...

Spent two nights at the Grand Hotel... When I went to the front desk about changing rooms, they showed me another room, making sure it was to my liking, instead of just assigning another one to me... The service in the dining room was top notch... I have a few food allergies and the wait staff worked with me and the chef to ensure I wasn’t eating anything I should not, Breakfast and dinner menus offered many different choices... The wait staff was very attentive at every meal... There was a bed turn down service that left chocolates on the pillow each night... I rented a bicycle from the hotel also...

I don’t know how much the room cost because I was part of an all inclusive bus tour... The room was clean and all the staff with whom I interacted were friendly and helpful...

...The hotel is in excellent shape and had been remodeled and upgraded since we'd been there prior. It was beautiful and the service, food, decorations were superb... A very good jazz trio was featured for every dinner, a harpist played for tea time in the afternoon, and a decent band played for entertainment in the ballroom... There was also a very good pianist/singer in the Cupula Bar on the top floor... We were especially impressed with one of our servers from Indonesia named Danelia and one of the stable managers named Jeff who spent a great deal of time explaining the lives and positive treatment of the island's majestic carriage horses... The accommodations are more than five star and view of the straights of Mackinaw and the Mackinaw Bridge especially at night are stunning... There are many wonderful places to stay on the island but the Grand Hotel is the upmost in first class hospitality...

We love the Grand Hotel and enjoy being here... The pool is complete and looks fantastic, however, we didn't plan on using it in October, but people did and looked warm... The afternoon tea was very well attended and with the harp player it was very enjoyable... The Grand is the place to be when on the Island, don't miss out...

...The hotel goes out of its way to make the weekend magical for its guests... It is 135 years young and the staff goes out of its way to make your stay magical... A breakfast and dinner is included with each night of your stay and you will not be disappointed, five course dinner and buffet/menu for breakfast, five stars all the way...

Make sure you book a package that includes breakfast and dinner... The dinner the first night was 285 dollars and wine for the house was an extra 25 dollars a glass... I called the front desk to say how disappointed I was and they offered a 3 night stay for basically the price of two nights that included breakfast and dinner... Food is fabulous and service is best ever... The bike trail around the island was incredible staying next to the water the whole way...

...This was the first visit that I received them and they were very much appreciated. Another plus this trip was knowing that the pool was actually still open while we were there... All three areas (main pool-adult pool-hot tub) were heated at a different temperature... We partook in the Afternoon Tea this trip and are so glad we did... It was a nice break in the day and gave us a chance to just relax and enjoy the music and environment...

...The hotel is extravagant, fun, and classy... Our room had one of the most amazing views I’ve seen, overlooking Lake Huron and the hotel grounds... The hotel doesn’t provide much about where restaurants or amenities are located, so you’ll want to plan things out a little...

...It was very expensive but we chose the Fall Offer that included breakfast, lunch and dinner. The breakfast and lunch buffet was great, Dinners were good although portions were very small but just right to ensure we ate them all!... The hotel was impeccably clean and even the basic room facing the back was lovely... Staff need to pay attention to who they are seating and find us people who are as smartly dressed as we were to sit next to... The hot tub was barely warmer than a bath and the heated pool and was frankly a waste of time to visit and takes a lot of effort to go down the hill to it only to be disappointed... The flowers on the porch were beautiful and the chairs were clean and not dusty!... The band in the room above the parlour was outstanding as well... I look forward to another trip in which I can venture out and see more of what the Grand Hotel has to offer and the rest of the island...

...I love how they are individualized and yet have necessary modern amenities. the MParks Grand Experience had wonderful programming and the Hotel accommodated these events in a seamless manner...

Very attentive staff made our visit nice... Such a wonderful hotel location and we had no view of Mackinac when in the rooms... Food and drink were very good and we expect restaurant wine markups of 200 or 300 percent, but our Malbec was closer to 500% over most liquor store prices...

...While the weather was uncooperative, The Grand offered many activities that kept everyone amused... The staff throughout was extremely attentive...

...I was very impressed with how attentive the staff was, how clean our room was and how amazing our breakfast and dinner was every day! Every little detail added to the charm of the hotel, the real metal room keys, the turn down service with chocolate on our pillows every night, the beautiful flowers that were still in bloom on the hotel grounds, so many little things that were just so perfect... Oh and get the Grand Pecan Ball, Yum!!!... I've always dreamed of staying at The Grand Hotel, it was definitely a stay to remember...

...Wait staff very professional and friendly... The grounds were well maintained with beautiful flowers... The pool had a infinity adult only pool that was heated nicely - we swam on September 19th!... Can't wait to come back to the Grand Hotel soon!...

We decided to stay at The Grand since we came a long way to see Mackinac Island & we’re so glad we did. It’s a spectacular historic hotel with the kind of first class service you expect... The meals were excellent and they had live bands in the dining room & again later in the evening in a ballroom where large crowds gathered for dancing!...

We loved our stay at the Grand Hotel... When we checked in, we were told we were upgraded to a lake view room!... We loved swimming in the pool and using the hot tub, as well as renting bikes... The live music was fantastic and service exceptional...

Our bus tour dined on the fabulous lunch buffet... Live piano player set the tone...

...It’s still beautifully maintained, still providing harp music at tea and piano jazz in the dining room...

...Sometimes we'd sneak in a second visit for a special event - wine tasting, ballroom dancing, etc... Yes, there have been significant updates, such as the pool, entry area, bathrooms, etc... You want a relaxing afternoon tea with beautiful live music?... You want to enjoy the vista of the Cupola Bar at cocktail hour?... We will stay at the Iriquois this season and plan on exploring Stonecliffe...

I stayed at the Grand Hotel for two nights while and on a tour of Michigan... The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner... For a special charge you can enjoy afternoon tea... The hotel boast that it has the world's longest porch... On the porch you can sit on a rocking chair and have a view of the gardens, the pool, the lawn games and the lake... You can go for a walk on the grounds and search for the secret garden... This hotel is very pricey but I think it was worth the experience...
