What guests say
7.9 / 10 · Good on Booking.com, from 280 guest reviews
Budget Host Inn & Suites earns consistent praise for its unbeatable location — just minutes from the Mackinac Island ferry — along with clean rooms, pet-friendliness, and notably warm staff. However, several guests flag an aging property with maintenance concerns, uncomfortable bedding, and noisy heating units that may disappoint those expecting a polished experience. It delivers solid value for a short, activity-focused stay, but falls short for guests seeking comfort and modern upkeep.
