Hampton Inn by Hilton St Ignace Lakefront Mackinac

We stayed at this brand new hotel travelling through on New Year’s Eve. It’s still slightly under construction with some finishing touches that need to be finished. The guest laundry, games room, ice machines and hot tub were not operational during our stay. We were really disappointed that the hot tub wasn’t operational yet as we were looking forward to sitting under the winter stars on New Year’s Eve. We enjoyed the pool though and it was warm. A good size, plenty of towels and chairs. The work out room was a good size and well equipped. Check in was a little glitchy as we were checked into the wrong guests room but not a big deal. Luckily they weren’t already in their room. We didn’t take advantage of the Hilton app to check in online however that is an option and you can even select your room and utilize the e-key on your phone. The app doesn’t display the floor plan so you can’t visualize your approximation to the elevators etc when selecting. Our room was amazing-room 433. We booked the King with sofa bed and balcony. We arrived too late to see the sunset but I’m sure it would have been amazing to see. The bed was very comfortable and I can tell the hotel designer was paying attention to small details. Lots of hooks to hang coats etc. Wall plugs were plentiful for charging devices and accessible. The bathroom was well planned as well. Great hooks behind the door-not just one or two that are flimsy. Perfect height shelf in the shower to place items, a lower shelf to raise your foot for shaving, the shower pan itself sits higher around the edges so no water pooling out. Shower tap opposite to shower head and position of shower doors allow water to flow with the glass rather than seep through the two doors. None of those plastic strips on the glass edge required. Nice bathroom shampoo etc supplied. I was very impressed with the design compared to other hotels. Breakfast was great as well with a beautiful view! Three cold cereal choices (brand flakes, raisin bran and fruit loops), hot oatmeal, bacon, eggs, potato chunk hash browns, Chobani Greek yogurt, as well as flavoured Yoplait, bread, bagels, English muffins, biscuits, vanilla and blueberry waffle mix, juice, coffee, tea etc. Great offerings and well replenished! This hotel will be booming come summer! We hope to be back the next time we travel through.
