The room looks like it is a camping cabin from 1970. Right down to the hanging light fixtures with cracked shades. Extremely old blue tub and shower with no grip on the bottom. The caulking around everything was molded and cracked. Mold on the bathroom ceiling, probably due to no bathroom fan. Every outlet was so loose, you can't plug anything in, the plugs fall out. The hair dryer has literally never been cleaned and had no air flow. I tried to clean it and the dust was rusted into the grate and won't come off, and smells like it's on fire. We had only 1 washcloth in our room when we arrived, and no one answered when we called so we had to walk across the parking lot in the rain to get some. Parking lot had a huge lake in the middle of it. You can hear EVERYTHING in your neighbor's room. And smell the pot they are smoking on their little porch... because you have to open the bathroom window to get any air to clear the moisture in the bathroom. One thing that was good was that the beds were comfortable and clean. Oh... and had a fridge but no microwave, so that was odd.

This property is a SCAM! Do NOT book here. I booked here 8 months in advanced, paid in full, and then was called 1.5 hours before checking in that they did not have a room for my family over Labor Day weekend (we had already traveled 4.5 hours to this hotel). They said one of their other properties (Thunderbird Inn) had room but only 1 king bed (for 3 people). When we went to check in, they switched us again to another hotel (at least with 2 beds) but definitely a huge downgrade - Starlite Budget Inn. Not the same quality or even a discount but it was either this or cancel and try to find a reasonably price room over Labor Day weekend! Then at 10 pm that night (we were staying two nights), the hotel manager/staff came to our room and told us we had to sign a form saying “we acknowledge that the hotel we originally booked was open for business but we choose to stay at the Starlite.” Heck no we did not “choose”! When we said the form was incorrect the staff said either sign the form or leave immediately! Again it was 10 pm at night, our child was already in bed! We ended up amending the form to tell the reality of the situation, initialed it, and signed the modified form. Be aware this hotel is part of 20ish hotels in the Mackinaw area that has done this many times before. They were even fined in the past by the Michigan attorney general. We also wrote up a complaint to the attorney general. Expedia should not be working with this property. I would NEVER stay here again.
