The Best Western in Mackinaw City or St. Ignace? If you have a car, free parking is available at each of the ferry services.

Staying a night on the island? Lodging can be very expensive...but there are several beautiful inns/lodging to choose from.

Summertime...the sidewalks do not roll up...the streets need to be washed from the horses!!!! Night views of the Mackinac Bridge, Round Island, Grand Hotel, Mission Point Resort (the lodging for the 2005 Collectors Reunion)... be sure to get pictures of Round Island light from the grounds of Mission Point.
The movie "Somewhere In Time" was filmed on the grounds of the Grand Hotel. There are markers along the bike route that notes where certain scenes were filmed.

Do you have a preference on travel to the island? Check out Arnold Line, Shepler's and Star Line ferry services, discount online tickets could be available. Also, ferry services returns to the mainland every 15-30 minutes...depending on date.

Hope this helps!
