AIDEN B.
I had a positive stay and thought the price was a great deal. The room was comfortable, in good condition, and had good space and amenities. A little more attention to cleaning details would improve it. For context, it's a 3-star hotel, so I wasn't expecting the Hilton. As of October 2025, it was the only place on the strip I saw without a review mentioning roaches, which counts as a big win for me. My evening check-in was handled by a male employee whose customer service skills were 'limited', to put it kindly. The woman who checked me out was fantastic: friendly, cheerful, and professional. I'd recommend it for the value, comfortable rooms, and pleasant atmosphere. I'd rate it 4/5, honestly, but I'm giving 5 stars to help lift its current 2.9 rating.

The view was beautiful, and the Jacuzzi was clean and in good condition. There were a couple of minor, normal wear-and-tear flaws in our room, but we'd stay again if we come back up north. We came for our honeymoon and were completely happy with the stay. The hotel was clean, and housekeeping changed our sheets and took out the trash. We were in and out at all hours and never had trouble with our key card after the lobby closed, even when we came back as late as 11pm. The pool and water park were available at our hotel, and they also gave us the option of going to the other hotels. We appreciated that. There were fire pits on the beach too. The manager helped us get discounted Ferry Tickets, with a printout of the Mackinac Island options. Arnold Mackinac Island ferry is within walking distance. The manager also suggested breakfast, lunch, and dinner spots, and we liked every recommendation.

We found the room we wanted at the "blue water hotel" after searching a few places for a nice view and a good price on a spontaneous trip to Mackinaw mi. We stayed three nights and were very pleased. Trish was great, giving us a newly renovated room with a lovely view at a good price. We're excited to come back next summer. TIM ..

The staff made the stay feel especially welcoming. They were attentive and quick to respond whenever I asked for something, without being intrusive. Blue Water was just what I wanted for a beachfront getaway. You walk from the lobby through the lot and straight onto soft sand, with gorgeous views. My spacious, spotless room had a balcony where I watched the sunrise each morning. I'd love to return.

We had a wonderful honeymoon here. The staff were friendly and very helpful, and we got discounted tickets for the ferry and the butterfly house. Our renovated room was lovely, with a beautiful view of the beach from the balcony. We enjoyed the property's beach bonfire and the pool was perfect. We'd come back, 10/10.
