The Grand Hotel offers a beautiful and historic atmosphere with stunning gardens and views that take you back in time. While the dining options can be hit or miss and the staff seemed overwhelmed at times, the location and unique ambiance of the hotel make it a memorable stay. However, the rooms could use attention to update their decor and comfort level, especially considering the high price tag.

The Grand Hotel offers a unique and historic experience on Mackinac Island. The ambiance is charming, with beautiful grounds and fascinating history, providing a lovely setting for relaxation. However, while the service was generally good, the dining options could feel restrictive, especially for guests paying a premium for their stay. The pricing seems steep compared to the limited meal flexibility, which can detract from the all-inclusive feel that many might expect.

Dining

While the five-course meal was elegant, the dining plan was less than ideal. The expensive buffet options and limited substitutions meant I felt pressured to stick to the buffet when I'd rather explore other dining venues on the island.
Facilities

Facilities are well-kept, but I did find some common area furniture slightly worn out. More attention to the seating comfort would elevate the experience.
