This hotel has the best views on the island. Our room consisted of two large rooms, a living room and a bedroom. Our balcony overlooked the water and marina. It was wonderful to look out from our room to see sailboats and occasionally a cruise ship. The staff were so welcoming to all who stayed there. Best location on the island.

Perfect as always from check in to check out! Very friendly staff, great service, nice rooms and very convenient to everything. We enjoy The Pink Pony on site. The service is top notch and the food is great. My husband and I always stay at The Chip when we visit the island. Til next time!

This was absolutely the best decision on a hotel EVER. The rooms are huge with a fridge and coffee maker and dishes. We were overlooking the harbor from our balcony. We enjoyed the quiet of that bit also the music from the restaurant and the hustle of the ferries coming and going. The staff was so nice and helpful, all the staff. Restaurant is delicious, although plan on spending $30+ just on food. Easy access to the park, fort, local grocery store. Just ????!! We will definitely make this our hotel for future Mackinac stops.

When visiting Mackinac Island, our go-to for accommodations is ALWAYS the Chippewa Hotel! The location is absolutely perfect, with a back deck right on the water. The Pink Pony restaurant and waterfront bar has excellent food and beverages as well. The staff is absolutely top notch, with a special shout out to Ntombi and the front desk staff! They do such an incredible job making everyone feel very welcome.Cookies and milk in the evening.The peaceful sounds of horses clip-clopping down the street in the mornings.Right in the heart of everything the island has to offer.We highly recommend you stay at the Chippewa, and enjoy a meal at the Pink Pony!For convenience' sake, take the Star Line Ferry - it's literally next door to the Chippewa.Enjoy!

We just returned from our 29th trip to Mackinac. The last 27 of those stays have been at the Chippewa. Need I say more?? This is the place you want to be on Mackinac!

Wonderful hotel to stay at on the island. In my opinion it is the best in most comfortable. You are right downtown close to all the activities. Bart at the front desk always makes us feel welcome. We had a very nice stay thank you very much. Hopefully see you next year.

Chippewa Hotel is amazing!!! We stayed June 18-20, 2020, our room was on the top floor and it was absolutely beautiful we were very spoiled. Everyone that we came in contact were very very friendly, Bart, Matt, Ntombi and Archie are only some of the names I can remember. We wish we would have stayed another night just to relax, sit on the balcony and people and boat watch. We cannot not say enough about our stay at the Chippewa and we cannot wait to come back again.
Thank you everyone for making our family vacation and 40th Anniversary celebration very memorable. Highly recommend to anyone to stay at the Chippewa on a visit to Mackinaw Island.

I visit the Island once or twice each season, so I’m no longer a tourist. I know the Island better than my own town. I have stayed at the Chippewa probably more than any other hotel. There are many to boast about on the Island, but the Chippewa is always on my list to look at, and the reason it often gets my reservation is that it consistently checks all my boxes. Its clean, the rooms are lovely, the location is good, it has an elevator and the staff is friendly. Now that can be said about most of the Island hotels, so usually my deciding factor is price. If you are comparing accommodations and can get the same for a better rate, why not. Yes the Island is enchanting, but the practical side of me wins when I’m booking my room.

Just returned from our stay at the Chippewa on Mackinac. From the minute we walked through the lobby doors we knew we had chosen the right place. Everything was outstanding!

Maggie S.

We had a great stay! The shower in our room and the public hot tub were both top notch. We also enjoyed the balcony looking out on the water. Would definitely stay here again

Christine W.

Loved this place! Convenient location, good food/drink (try the Pink Pony Rose), nightly entertainment, outdoor hot tub overlooking the harbor, what more could you ask for! Bartenders, waitresses, housekeepers, and especially Ntombi at the front desk, were friendly and efficient! We will be back!

Everything was great from the minute we arrived starting with their porter at the dock. when we checked in, we were given a box of fudge with a note congratulating us on our 50th wedding anniversary. Our room was very nice overlooking the street. the room was a very good size with a big loveseat, chair, coffee table and other pieces. we even had a mini frig. we had a king size bed which was very nice. we liked the decor. housekeeping did a very good job. we even got cookies and chocolates at night which was very nice. the help starting with the front desk was great we couldn’t have asked for a better three days. this was the first time we have ever stayed overnight on the island, and we would love to do it again and we would love to stay at the Chippewa. we couldn’t have asked for a better 50th anniversary trip.

Kathleen

Exceeded our expectations! Clean rooms, friendly and very accommodating staff! We loved this hotel so much, we booked for next year.
Love Chippewa Hotel and the Pink Pony!

Deborah

We spent three nights and four days on the island and stayed at our favorite hotel – the Chippewa Waterfront. This is our favorite place to stay on the island. Nice rooms, staff.

Jim R.

My wife and I have stayed at the Grand Hotel and the Island House before our stay at the Chippewa. We had a suite on the 2nd floor. Wow, 2 rooms, balcony, water view. The best.

Dave L.

The Chippewa Hotel was right up there at the top that made our visit to Mackinac Island such a delight. Everything from the room to the easy access to the many shops on main street to the delicious food to the staff was best-in-class. Speaking of staff – Kara while working at the front desk took significant time to assist me in solving a serious problem with my smart phone. Highly recommend the Chippewa Hotel!

Jack S.

Fantastic stay! We not only recommend staying here but will definitely be returning!!! My husband and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. I had forgotten that I must have mentioned it when the room was booked. We had a small welcome package of cheese popcorn, fudge and a some truffles with a very nice card from the staff wishing us a wonderful anniversary and stay. I thought that was very thoughtful. Quick service for the 4th of July weekend, great food and friendly staff at the Pink Pony! We purchased the Shepler’s Ferry July 4th package where they pick you up and return you to the island to see the fireworks over the water. Highly recommend! They only downside of our stay was that my husband and I left our black Bubba insulated cups we brought from home in our room when we checked out and didn’t notice it until we were home. Other than it, it was a perfect stay.
