“The Murray Hotel stands out on Mackinac Island for its undeniably central location, making island exploration remarkably accessible. Its accommodating staff readily assist with luggage, a thoughtful touch, and the property itself offers a surprisingly clean and comfortable stay with a welcome heated pool and hot tub amenity. While rooms can be compact, the hotel compensates with complimentary all-day coffee and tea, and their award-winning fudge provides a sweet, authentic island treat.”
