Holiday Inn Express St. Ignace-Lake Front, an IHG Hotel

This experience was poor die to upkeep of rooms and cleanliness, we came across old ripped sheets, clean but ripped, the kind of tear that you notice and need to replace, there were spiders in unit so the pest control is probably set up with the correct recurrence. There were nail trims, band aid on the floor so obviously the housekeeping is not diligent enough. Aside from that the rooms are old and tired, not what I would look forward to come back to. It is interesting because my family insisted on getting in a quaint local motel and I pushed onto the national brand hotel because of their higher standards nationwide but it backfired, seems like national chains perform poorly in smaller markets as they are not as busy, but when the experience is not consistent across markets systemwide then the brand hurts.

Still have some construction in the courtyard. Carpet in halls could use cleaning or replacing. Room was large and view of the lake was nice. Family and dog owners had dogs and children running and was a little loud at times if you are looking for privacy and quiet. Price seemed a little high for location.

The hotel was nice. Was in a good location, clean and had friendly staff. Breakfast bar had good options, although the seating area was small for the number of guests enjoying breakfast. Only other complaint was apparently our room was near some very loud guests who could not shut a door quietly. Constant door slamming starting in the early morning and lasting throughout the day into the night. Not sure if it was kids or what, but very annoying. Otherwise the hotel itself was great.

Brought our 4 and 5 yr old boys here for a family vaca and trip to Mackinac Island. We had a nice big room with a jetted tub in it, view of the beach and island and easy access to the restaurant/bar on the property. Would return.
