Quality Inn Saint Ignace

Perched in St. Ignace on Point La Barbe, this smoke-free, pet-friendly hotel sits by the Straits of Mackinac. You’re minutes from the Mackinac Bridge, the Star Line ferry dock to Mackinac Island, Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. It’s a family-friendly base for golf, ferry runs and island day trips.

Rooms are updated and practical with microwaves, coffee makers and satellite TV, and some suites add refrigerators or in-room hot tubs. The hotel has an indoor corridor to rooms, upgraded suites and handy in-room essentials like hair dryers, irons and safes. Expect straightforward décor and a relaxed, lake-town vibe.

Swim in the indoor pool, soak in the jacuzzi, or heat things up in the sauna. Work out on new Precor equipment in the fitness center, grab Seattle’s Best Coffee 24/7, and enjoy a nightly popcorn social and complimentary hot breakfast. Other perks include a picnic area, gift shop, free self-parking and an area shuttle (surcharge) — perfect for waking up near lake breezes.

There’s a business center, meeting rooms and conference space for events. Complimentary wireless internet, 24-hour front desk service and a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) keep things simple for work or group travel.

Start the day with a complimentary hot buffet breakfast and coffee bar. Limited room service is available, and the hotel’s nightly popcorn social is a low-key way to snack before heading out to nearby restaurants and fudge shops.
