Main Street Inn is located at the perfect location on Mackinac Island directly across from the ferry and offers many amenities and comforts for travelers. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and every front desk and cleaning staff member was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay so much we already made reservations for next year!

Main Street Inn and Suites on Mackinac Island is a lovely hotel in a beautiful place. We experienced a wonderful 3 days and nights in a one-bedroom king suite with a balcony where we enjoyed views of Main Street buildings and activity. The hotel is beautifully decorated and very clean.
The hotel has various room types. We found our suite to be exactly as expected based on the hotel website photos and descriptions. Walking into the suite from the hallway, we entered the bedroom with king bed. The bed was comfortable, furnishings beautiful and functional, and lighting good. The split bath between the bedroom and living room is convenient for two people preparing for the day; the spaces are clean and well-lit with plenty of storage, handrails, and towel racks; the shower has good water pressure. The living room is both comfortable and beautiful, and the wet bar is very convenient for eating and snacking in the suite. Two wicker chairs and a small table on the street-front balcony provide for pleasant time watching people, horses, and carriages.
A wide hallway on the second floor provides morning coffee and afternoon lemon water. A room with game table, sofa and coffee table, pool table, game/book cabinet, and small microwave is a pleasant space for visiting with other hotel guests.
Interactions with all hotel staff were pleasant – front desk staff, porter Lewis, and housekeeping staff. Lewis picked up our luggage labeled for the hotel at the Shepler’s Ferry dock even as we were making our way across the street to the hotel. We were carrying personal items (toiletries/medications bags and sleep machine which we dropped at the front desk) and were glad we did not have to retrieve our 2 suitcases and cooler. When our room was ready, Lewis delivered everything to our suite. Housekeeping not only keeps clean, neat rooms, but in the evening, they provide turndown service and a small box of JoAnn’s fudge. Special shoutout to Vandalyn for excellent service and very pleasant greetings.
The small lobby is not impressive, but provides the service needed. We received a free slice of fudge coupon for JoAnn’s at checkout – don’t know if they provide this for every guest or if it was based on length of stay or the fact that I was turning in a survey, but we appreciated the parting gift which we picked up at the shop next door.
We loved our stay at Main Street Inn and Suites and our time on the island. We would love to visit again, and we will definitely recommend it to our friends.

This was our third time to stay at Main Street Inn. There are many places to choose from on Mackinac Island, but you can’t beat the location, cleanliness, location, roominess, bedding, hospitality and location of Main Street Inn and Suites!!

Highly recommend! We stayed in Room 306, which is an interior room with a skylight. Extremely clean with very comfortable pillows and mattress. And quiet without an exterior window. Employees were very nice, and they even offered a turndown service (with a piece of fudge) and cleaned the room every day without requset, which has become an unknown feature in most hotels post-COVID.

Spent mother's Day weekend with my two sisters at this hotel and it was such a fantastic experience! The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, the hotel room was so clean and little details like lemon water and coffee that was made available made us feel really welcomed and taken care of. We would absolutely recommend this establishment and hope to return ourselves next year!

Main Street Inn is a lovely place. The rooms are decorated beautifully and are maintained spotlessly. Our family group stayed in two suites and one standard room which were all spacious. The balconies off the suites are great for observing the lively street action. There is a storage area for bikes, coffee is available in the morning and chilled water is out on a hallway table all day. All of the employees are extremely friendly and helpful including the front desk staff, housekeepers and luggage porters. Our family had a wonderful time staying in this lovely place!

Girls 2 day stay on the island and this was the PERFECT place to stay, rooms tastefully decorated, very comfortable bedding and soft towels for the bathroom. Loved the fudge placement on the bed. We had EXCELLENT service from the front desk people and they safely guarded our luggage and purchases prior to check in and also at check out so we could enjoy more of the island. I cannot tell you how much this hotel exceeded our expectations. It will be one that I would definitely recommend to others and would gladly go back to. Plus, the rates were so good compared to some of the other options!!!

Our kids (6yr & 5yr) have never been to Mackinaw Island before so we decided to take a small family trip to let them experience this place. I've stayed with my wife at this location once before about 11 years ago and it was pretty neat to be centrally located to most of the action on the island. You're in the heart of downtown where the horses roam, the bikers ride, and the smells of fudge and food are apparent.
The staff was courteous on arrival after our ferry ride to the island. Even had a small square of fudge waiting for us at check-in! The hotel itself is dated, showing it's old age charm in the decor and fixings. Still, it's very quiet on the premises and easy to access the various features. Three floors up (top floor BTW) we stayed in your standard room with 2 queen beds. Mattresses were very comfy and everyone slept well with hardly any ambient noise from outside the room. Leftovers from dinner at the Pink Pony were kept nice in the fridge, shower boasted hot water with no worries, and room had enough A/C to keep us cool during the day/night. Bonus to the staff for the 1/2 pound of free fudge at checkout. Nice snack on the ferry ride back to the City. Suggestion to the staff: A Laundry Bag for dirty clothes was not present in room, had to ask the staff for one. Please make this a standard for future guests.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Main Street Inn & Suites and we think you will too. Rooms during peak season can be $$ in price, so book early and get the one you would like to stay in if possible.
Thanks!

I booked a deluxe suite. It was clean, roomy and the beds were comfortable. Coffee and cucumber/lemon water was available on each floor daily. Got a knock on the door asking if we wanted turn down service. I didn't even know that was a thing anymore!! The hotel is in the middle of downtown, very convenient. With the hustle and bustle of the outside town area, you never heard any of that in your room, very peaceful. I will definitely stay there again! Pleasant staff too!

Main Street Inn and Suites is the most reasonably priced rooms I have found on the island. The rooms are large and spacious, and the beds are very comfortable. The water pressure in the shower is the BEST, and the towels are the softest and fluffiest of any hotel I have ever stayed at. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and every day they leave you a nice little box of Joann's Fudge! Highly recommend to anyone staying on the Island.
