Apr. 29.2026. Stayed one night, pre-season. Room was very dated, doorwall didn't have a great lock on it, which leads right out to the beach area. Could almost stick my hand under the gap around the door. No extra blankets or pillows. It was a great view out the bank towards the water. Nice employees and breakfast views were fabulous. read more

The first night we stayed we had dinner outside on the patio at the club. Thank goodness the place stays open late because we were very hungry and we checked in late. I had the whitefish for dinner with potato puree and garlic green beans. It was very good. I would recommend. We also started with the Yucatan shrimp which was full of flavor. We enjoyed dipping the toasted points into the sauce. Yum! Honestly I didn't go in to my stay here with the highest expectations, but I was very impressed with the service at the hotel and restaurant as well as the cleanliness of our room. Lots of friendly smiling and welcoming staff. The bed was very comfortable and the beach is dynamic. Perfect view of Lake Huron, and very enjoyable day or night. We had the breakfast both mornings of our stay, and I can only give that 2 stars. It was ok. Felt like a typical "breakfast included" kind of deal. The staff was very kind and attentive, and the restaurant was very clean. The food was 2 stars. Just basic. Coffee was great and like I said I was pleasantly surprised with my stay. I will definitely consider staying here again because the views and beach were gorgeous, the clean rooms and friendly staff are so important, and you're a hop, skip and a jump from Shepherd's Ferry to Mackinac Island from the hotel. read more

Our stay at Breakers was very nice from the day we checked in till we checked out. Room was clean and comfortable, with a great view. The concierge staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Bev was exceptional, her knowledge of Mackinac Island and handout with map of the island was unbelievably helpful. It made our day trip to the island an exceptional experience. The hotel restaurant was very good and the lake view outstanding. I would recommend Breakers Resort as a great place to stay in St. Ignace. read more

My family and I spent Father's Day weekend there. No soap or shampoo. Electrical outlet for hairdryer did not work. In the next room were two unsupervised young Chinese girls who were very noisy all night, laughing, shouting, and running in the hall. The concierge warned them twice, but did nothing. The next morning coming back from breakfast, they ran past me on the stairs shoving me into the rail. I am an elderly woman who uses a cane and nearly fell. I wrote to the general manager giving all of my contact information but received no reply. This is horrible customer service! read more

Breakers Resort is a wonderful hotel on Lake Huron. The rooms are large, with very comfortable beds and great views of the Lake. The staff members are so friendly and nice. The Club has delicious food and again, great wait staff and bartenders. They all work as a team. Would highly recommend!​ read more

Breakers Resort - Mushroom pizza - Hotels Near Me - Saint Ignace, Michigan

My husband and I stayed at Breakers for 2 nights...a great choice! Our ground-level room was a direct walk to the beach only a few yards away. The staff members were friendly and helpful. The restaurants were delicious, especially the outdoor pizza oven and bar. This is a well renovated older hotel with great amenities. The biggest selling point is that beautiful beachfront. I am already planning my next visit! read more

Excellent service, excellent room and gorgeous view!! We will definitely return! We couldn't have been happier!

The restaurant, called the "Club", is the ONLY jewel of this property. We had dinner in the restaurant one evening and although the menu was limited, the food was good and the server attentive. We did not have breakfast or lunch at the restaurant. The hotel side of the property is basically an old dirty worn seaside hotel. Unfortunately for potential guests, the website copywriter is quite the exaggerator, using verbiage that embellishes a bit too much--such as describing the hotel as having "completely upgraded guest rooms." A fresh coat of paint and new bed skirts do not make hotel rooms "completed upgraded," as those items are standard maintenance. The room was small and cramped and it was just two of us. The streaming box and multiple wires just hung from the back of the television. We ended up setting the box on top of the television frame as the streaming kept disconnecting because of the weight of the box pulling on the connection cables. Maintenance using a few zip ties and attaching the box to the back of the television set with velcro strips would have fixed this situation. Instead, it was an unsightly mess. We were warned at check-in that midge-fly season was just ending. Although we did not see one live midge fly, we could not use our balcony as the chairs, deck, door jambs, door sill, everything was covered with dead midge flies--into the thousands! Maintenance should be daily blowing those dead flies off the decks. As you can see from the images, those dead flies had been on that balcony for some time. Balconies need to be power washed and swept clean before guests check in. Sheets were stained, which unfortunately for us, was not discovered until the morning we were leaving. Although our stay was at the beginning of the season following months of the hotel being closed for the winter, it was obvious there was no heavy cleaning done to the rooms before the hotel reopened. Two of the three mornings of our stay, there was no coffee in the lobby by 9:00 a.m. There was a coffee pot in the room, but 5 out of 6 of the pods were decaffeinated. The small beach area, which on the website photo gallery is beautiful with perfectly lined rows on turquoise blue Adirondack chairs, is a jumbled mess. Dark brown chairs have replaced the blue chairs and during our entire stay, maintenance never straightened the chairs. Canadian geese, masses of them, have made the beach their home and the hotel owners have surrendered the beach to the geese rather than looking into ways to deter them. With the "territorial attitude" of the geese and the massive amounts of geese "poop," the beach area is not pleasant. There is no way we can recommend this hotel. Breaker's is the most expense hotel in St. Ignace with water views--our final folio without meals, was just shy of $1,000 for a 3-night stay--and our room was NOT a suite, a deluxe, or a king. So disappointed. read more

We had a lovely and relaxing time at Breakers Resort. The calmness of this location was much need. On Sunday evening there was live music and the mornings began with a hot breakfast. We were confused with the lack of consistency with what they stated they offered and when they actually did provide it. For example, they did not open for dinner service on one of the nights that were stated as open for dinner. They didn't offer the bonfire each night they stayed they would even though the weather was pleasant. Other that these discrepancies we enjoyed our time. read more

What a great location with a view of the water. This place has so much potential but needs a little update and attention to details. This place is to nice to be serving a powdered egg mock omelet for breakfast. As you can see in the pic below the cable box is just sitting on the tv with wires all around it. Don't get me wrong, the rooms have comfortable beds and it is a safe place with a friendly staff but put something on the doors to make them close softly. Other hotels have figured this out. Our neighbors never held the door to close it and when it slammed, you would think the TV was falling off the wall. Maybe I am just picky. Yes, I would still stay there again. I just hope someone would see the diamond in the rough and take it to its full potential. The staff is also not wearing any company apparel so it is hard to tell them from the guest except in the restaurant. read more

Hot tub is not working and no fire or fire roasted pizza becaus it rained today and the wood is wet. We left the Best Western after one night to stay here where we always stay. They had a fire plus 2 working hot tubs. The reason we didn't stay at the Breakers last night is because they were booked. read more

I come here because I'm familiar with it. I stayed here on a whim a few years ago and was happy with the relaxed vibes and the nice bar. Stayed again, fell in love with the beach and the bonfires, enjoying the view of Lake Huron. Fast forward to 2025 and I've already stayed here once in May, June, and now July. I love the brightness of the rooms, the balconies or patios depending on floor are a great way to spend the morning or evening watching the sun and moon move across the skies. The staff is always helpful and funny. The bar has great food, have yet to be disappointed in anything I've gotten. The hostess is lovely and the bar (manager?) with the Michigan skull tattoo on his hand is always fun to interact with. Even when I came here in June and the power was out for a little while they did everything they could to make sure the experience was great. I've continued to choose this place, even when the prices are sometimes higher than their competitors, because of the service and the quality of everything and I'll likely continue to do so every time I stay in Saint Ignace. I recommend to all of my friends and family if they are doing anything in the area. read more

We were In the area for a wedding and went for dinner on a Saturday night upon multiple recommendations. The food was the worst we'd ever had in a restaurant. I'm 46 and travel extensively. I love good food , trying new things, and fine dining. And I appreciate a dive that cares about their food. This place was neither. My husband and I shared a pizza that had about a quarter of a cup of balsamic reduction on it. It was hard to eat because the vinegar was so overwhelming. My daughter had a "beet salad with sumac" which was a bed of plain yogurt covered in chopped unseasoned boiled beets with a few small sumac leaves around it. Not a salad at all. It was beets and yogurt. And my daughter's boyfriend had the beef bourguignon. It was fine. A piece of oiled ciabatta and a small portion of stew. And my other daughter had a Caesar salad which was mediocre. The menu was very small as they had apparently just gotten a new chef two weeks prior. This was the weekend of September 10th, 2022. The service was poor. We sat down and the waitress looked at us. And said, would you like something to drink? I said sure, what do you have? She mentioned the soda products. Do you have something besides soda? (Note there is a giant bar in the middle of the room.) She said, yes. No offer of a drink menu, no letting me know what was on tap. Just a blank stare. I had a water. Later on, another waitress did bring us a drink menu listing a handful of canned and bottled items, bud light, Truly. Which would have been fine if the menu would have also been casual and unpretentious. Or good tasting. The food came out quite slowly. The setting is beautiful after you navigate the entrance through a hotel pool. So that was strange. But as you're sitting in the restaurant, you're surrounded by three sides of windows with views to the beach and the water. How there's not a single fish item on the menu is absolutely beyond me. That would have been a layup. Scratch that, there is one fish item on the menu and that is a whitefish dip appetizer. Which appears to be some sort of canned deviled fish and cream cheese. Again, no seasoning to speak of. Dip served cold with vegetables and crackers. Not great. Maybe I would look upon it more fondly if the rest of our meal hadn't been such a train wreck. A large party walked in shortly after us, after several tables were arranged to accommodate them, sat down, got waters, looked at the menu and probably got up to leave. As they were walking out immediately said did you guys already order? We told them yes. They said, too bad, we come here every year, this place used to be great. I think they ended up at the Mexican restaurant. Avoid at all costs. read more

We had a really nice stay over a long weekend at Breakers. We arrived early and we were able to check into our room early. The room was standard and clean. I like the setup of the sink separate from the shower and toilet. The only thing that seemed to be missing was an ironing board, we had an iron but no board. The hotel is situated on the beach which is lovely. It was quiet and peaceful. They have a bunch of chairs set up along the beach which is helpful so you don't have to bring any. There is a beach volleyball area and they have some other yard games such as cornhole set up. Breakfast is included in your stay. It is served buffet style and they had scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and gravy, cereal and pastries available and of course coffee. I have to eat gluten free so unfortunately I was unable to partake but it's nice they have it. The restaurant/bar is open for lunch and dinner and the bar is a great spot to grab a drink and sit outside and watch the water. Another great feature is the pool. It is indoor but it's a nice break from the sun on a hot day. There is also a hot tub and a small changing area. But as always, sometimes parents use this pool as a babysitter and the kids are wild. Overall a great stay and we will definitely stay here again! read more

Definitely a value for the $, nice clean rooms with balconies. Situated right on the shore of Lake Huron. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on site. Family friendly and informal. They even provided us with fire wood to burn and sit by the lake. Would recommend better lighting and cleanliness in and by the pool. Overall would definitely visit again. read more

Friendly staff - Room was clean and comfortable- location is great - Restaurant was frustrating. I had pizza (less than average). And my wife had a fish sandwich ( better than average). Service was bad - after we ordered it took 50 minutes to get our food and we never saw our server again until the food arrived. All in all we enjoyed our stay and the view of the lake is excellent. Rooms have been recently renovated and are nice. Due to COVID-19 your complimentary breakfast is a cup of cereal, apple, muffin in a bag with a cup of OJ. Given the current situation this was fine and we appreciated their efforts for keeping everyone safe. Everyone was super friendly. I would recommend exploring some other restaurants in the area though. We would stay again. read more

What an amazing view! This hotel is right on the shore of Lake Huron. I would stay here again for sure. Here's the run down for you: -All of the rooms have a balcony with a beautiful view of Lake Huron just feet front you. Simply beautiful. -The hotel has a nice stretch of beach right outside. There's plenty of beach chairs to use and just relax on the beach. This was great for when my kid wanted to play in the freezing water and I could just sit and watch her and not get hypothermia. -The rooms were a decent size. We had a king sized room with a fireplace. We also rented a rollaway bed for the kiddo. We had room for all 3 of us and weren't too cramped for a hotel room. -Free breakfast! On the day we were there, we had biscuits and gravy, fried eggs, bacon, sausage, several types of cereal, a section of fresh fruit, different breakfast breads, and juice. Not too shabby for an included breakfast. The dining room is a bit small, but people seem to come and go, so tables did open up pretty quickly. -There's an indoor pool on property. -The hotel is a bit dated, but it wasn't horrible. St. Ignace is a sleepy little coastal town. There's not much fancy, so this is pretty typical. This is where it lost a star. Overall, it's still a pretty good place to stay. -We received great service from the front desk. We had some questions and needed some help during our stay. Whatever we asked about, we got help right away and everyone was always super friendly. -It's conveniently located. There's also a trolley stop if you don't want to walk or drive around town. -Lots of parking, no matter what time you get in. -The price is very reasonable. I booked our stay through Hotels.com for a visit in July. I believe after tax, it was $105 a night. Next time we are in St. Ignace, we will definitely stay at the Breakers Resort. I would recommend this place to everyone. read more

Found this while on our way back from Toronto to Minneapolis and thought the Mackanac Island area would be great ... started with Google and then narrowed the choices down with Hotels.com and Yelp. We got a great deal. So about the ratings .. this place has had a big recent overhaul. You can see the old building on Google Earth, clearly missing The Club. The facility is big, four floors, new carpeting and in very good condition. Love the sandy/rocky beaches, fire pits and gas fire pit going at night. The bar was a key factor, just hanging out on the deck at night talking to other guests. Lake Huron is just below the Club deck. Great vibe. The bar has a good mix of liquor and both tap and canned beer. I wish they had draft IPA, but the Bells Two Hearted was close. I did have a canned IPA as well. They should offer only local beers, in my snobby beer loving opinion.I would love to sample their best. I know there are many. Wife loved her fruity liquor drink. We also ordered a flatbread pizza, which my wife and I shared. Really good. Not at all Dominos. Much higher quality. Morning breakfast is included and was just okay. It is free, so why complain? Add eating out on the deck and then wading in the water after and drinking coffee from the beach chairs, it was awesome. Coffee was surprisingly good. Our room was really nice. Working fireplace, flatscreen TV, really nice double queen beds. Water facing. Slept really well. Front desk, Club wait staff, maids all really nice. We are ready to bring the family back here. High return value. read more

Had a really enjoyable stay here. Immaculate room with 2 queen beds, flatscreen tv, fireplace, mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and a lovely view of Lake Huron and Mackinaw Island. Nice Sandy beach with bonfires at dusk. Breakfast is included. Went to the small restaurant for a light dinner. Margarita was very good. Flatbread pizza definitely not good. Live music on Saturday night. Would stay there again. read more

Hotel main desk is in another building which was inconvenient for room issues. Room was dirty it had cobwebs and spiders all over the room. Sheets on pullout couch were dirty. Be aware that there are steps on on every floor that separate the room levels from the elevator. Very difficult to use luggage carts or transport coolers. Ice only available on two levels. Pool has capacity and time limitation due to COVID. No one is enforcing. read more

Hate leaving 1 star reports. But came with my family (party of 6) to enjoy food and live music tonight. We waited in the patio area and had a family member go in and open a tab at the bar, get drinks and menus and was okayed to sit at a table on the patio. We were seated for approximately 15 min while looking over the menu and firing out what appetizers to order a women (worker) with short purple hair yelled from the stairway,"you people need to get up and leave". We replied asking if there was a problem. She told us that we entered the restaurant the wrong way and needed to go inside to get assigned a table. We said sorry there was no sign and we already had a tab opened and menus. She told us there's a problem with people beach hopping. I have no idea what that had to do with the situation. And wouldn't you want people to come and eat at your beach club that were from other hotels? Never the less my father went to pay the tab accompanied by his 8 year old son and was told by the same lady to get him away from the bar. How were we supposed to be there with kids to get a table but couldn't be there to pay a tab. Thanks won't be returning again . General manager was notified. My 8 year old sister forgot a toy when we left and I returned to retrieve it. Came in very close proximity of rude purple hair women and she did not acknowledge me 30 min after altercation. Poor class worse people. read more

We stayed just after summer season, and the rate we got was an exceptional value. The resort is clean, the rooms have been updated, and there's a pool/spa and even a bar right by the lake. This was a pleasant surprise and I would not hesitate to stay at this resort again! read more

There are better/nicer places to stay in St. Ignace. Rooms are decently clean, but missing toiletries. This hotel needs an update. Dated TVs, mattresses, screen doors, AC units. It's been very lived in. Don't bother with the WiFi, as it's virtually non-existent. The beach setting is nice, with views of Mackinac Island. The breakfast is very skippable. Coffee is very weak and with a taste to match. Bonus tip: if you end up staying here, the best breakfast in town is next door at Java Joes. read more

Delayed review. We stayed here last May for the "free hot breakfast" that was listed on hotels.com. In the morning, there was no free breakfast, just an apple and muffin, due to "covid concerns." Mind you, the same restaurant that holds the breakfast was jam packed with people taking their masks off to eat and drink beer. (Since they are spending money.) They also had the indoor pool packed with people and no masks. When I complained to the front desk worker, she asked me and my wife if we were vaccinated. That is none of their business. She did also not have a good reply for why there was no free breakfast but an open restaurant and bar for lunch/dinner. Despite the hypocrisy going on here that covid only hangs out at a free breakfast that costs the hotel money, the front desk workers were fairly polite, and let us store our bikes in the back room, so that boosts their score up one star. read more

Restaurant was excellent. One of the best meals we have had in a while. Excellent service and kid's menu.

This review is NOT for the hotel, but rather their Breakers Beach Bar. Honestly the WORST service I have ever received!!! The Club Beach Bar/Restaurant should not even be allowed to be open. The service was atrocious and rude. We were NEVER waited on after we placed our order. Drinks NEVER refilled, sides for the food were NEVER brought, waitress NEVER returned to our table until I had to stop her in her tracks to get our bill. She also refused to get us a box for our less than mediocre food. We had to ask the hostess to get a box for us. And no I'm not some enraged unhappy patron. There were two other couples (not in our party) that canceled there dinner order because of the poor service and the other gentleman just left after sitting at the bar for an extended period of time with out being acknowledged or waited on. Do yourself a favor DO NOT go to the Breakers Beach Bar!!! read more

My husband and I stayed the weekend of 7/13/2014. He paid extra for a lake view room. It was well worth it. It was quiet- a change of pace from staying in Mackinaw City. They had a fire pit on the beach and private access to Lake Huron. Our room had an in room hot tub- not something we requested but nice. We used the indoor pool and hot tub too. They were clean and nice after riding bikes on Mackinaw all day. We paid $139 for the first night (Saturday) but they gave us the second night for $59 (Sunday). Breakfast was a continental plus with a waffle station and eggs with sausage- pretty typical fare. They were friendly. Some other patrons were pretty rude- but you can't blame the hotel for that. Couple tips- beer is really cheap at the Casino, like $1.25 and they run a free shuttle to and from the hotel. There is a Mackinaw Money bag that the St Ignace chamber of commerce sells. For $15 you get bogo on Ferry tickets- which saves you $10 off the bat plus deals on local businesses. read more

My husband and I stayed here one night last week and we loved it. We had what they called a "partial view" but it was a wonderful view of Lake Huron. We ate at the restaurant and it was delicious. They even had live music at the restaurant which we thoroughly enjoyed. The only reason I didn't give them a 5 is due to the ADA aspect of our "handicapped" room. That could stand improvement. The beds were so high I really had a hard time getting my wheelchair bound husband into bed, but we managed. Our biggest problem was the grab bars in the bathroom were so close to the toilet we couldn't get the wheelchair near them and it was a real struggle getting him dressed. read more

We really like it here. This hotel has a beach. We had a nice clean room, with very nice lake views. Friendly and helpful staff. There is an absolutely fantastic view of Mackinac Island from the beach. They have lawn chairs and two fire rings on the beach. They have a good sized indoor heated pool and hot tub. There is a handicapped lift for the pool. Dogs are allowed for a fee, I think they say you can't leave them in your room unattended, but I think most hotels that allow pets have that policy. Free breakfast in the breakfast room up front in the hotel office building. It is a quick walk across the parking lot up a slight hill. Breakfast included biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, sausage links, bagels, cereal and milk, self serve waffle making station, yogurt, fresh fruit, and juices. We had giant warm cinnamon roll muffins. They were really good. The lady that serves the breakfast is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed talking to her about how we look forward to the beach bar opening and having breakfast there on our next trip. They are building a new building out on the beach that will be the new breakfast room/beach bar. They will also be serving cocktails from there. It will be much closer and easier to get to. I wish it had been finished and open for this stay. I heard it should be done by the end of this year. It will change the way the beach view looks from some rooms but still a beautiful view. Two minor issues during our most recent stay. 1) We had an issue with a mildew smell from the air conditioner. The front desk immediately moved us to another room, it was actually an upgraded room. I was very appreciative of how quickly they accommodated us and they were very pleasant and professional. In all fairness, I'm sure the A/C just needed to be cleaned as it is nearing the end of the season and has probably been run quite a bit. 2) The room we moved to had a balcony. Spiders were taking over out there on it. We did not want to go out there at all because there were ALOT! I didn't want to complain since I know that insects outside are a natural occurrence but housekeeping did send someone up to sweep the balcony. The spiders remained though. They were everywhere up on the ceiling of the balcony and on the posts of the balcony. We did not press the issue, we just didn't use the balcony. Front desk staff recommended the Driftwood for dinner after we were disappointed with another nearby restaurant the previous night. I wish I'd asked her sooner, it was good. The St Ignace Trolley stops here if you want to get a ride to the ferry docks or other nearby attractions. They have a schedule in the office with all the stops listed. I saw that it stops at the grocery store as well. Overall we love it here. We had a great stay and already reserved our next. read more

Run away! My stay initially started off great, with a nice room with a great view of the lake and Mackinac Island. Around 10pm, all hell broke lose in the room next to me. There was a domestic violence incident involving a man, his girlfriend, and their newborn baby. After that fiasco ended, resulting in me speaking with police about what all happened, I asked to change rooms because I just didn't feel safe in the room I was in, what with being right next door to them and all. The hotel was not at fault for the domestic violence thing, I'm just mentioning it so that people get a feel for the types of people that apparently stay here. The hotel moved me to a different room and I tried to settle in and go to sleep, but as I was watching TV hoping to nod off, I noticed there were bugs in my room. A LOT of bugs. The hotel had a real bad problem with sand flies (the original rooms balcony was COVERED in them, both alive and dead) and there was apparently a hole in the screen door to the balcony or something because my ceiling and walls were coated in these things. I ended up being awake until 4am, killing every one of them I saw by smushing them with a towel. It was absolutely disgusting and I ended up only sleeping for about 2 hours. I packed my bags and checked out ASAP the next morning, leaving a night early as I was originally supposed to stay 2 nights. I showed staff my bug covered towel and was given a refund for my second night...or so I was told. They said it would take 4 days to disappear from my account, and once I was home 4 days later I checked my bank transactions online and the charge was still there, so I called the hotel. I was told that it would take 7 to 10 days, not 4. Whatever. Guess what happened after 10 days though? That's right: the charge was still there! Rather than attempt to contact the hotel again and get the run around once more, I went to my bank. I had a receipt from the hotel saying I had only stayed one night, yet I was charged for two nights. The bank said it was a clear cut case, but I still had to file an official fraud report, which resulted in my having to cancel my debit card. This, in turn, resulted in me having to contact all of the places I have auto-pay set up with for bills (Comcast, ATT, etc.) and update all of my info so that my bills would still get paid on time, since the bank gave me a new card. After doing all of this, it cost me way more (mentally) than just the money the hotel attempted to steal from me by charging me for two nights! The bank refunded my money, NOT THE HOTEL. Prior to the whole fraud report thing with my bank, I was actually planning to keep quiet about my stay at this place, as I figured "it was one bad night, it happens, everything is ok", but when it came to the hotel attempting to steal money from me by charging me for a night I didn't stay and then lie to me about me getting my money back, I changed my mind and decided to tell the world about how bad they are. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place like the plague. Don't be fooled by other reviews saying how nice it is. The only thing nice about it is the view of Lake Huron and Mackinac Island and you can get that at literally any other hotel in St. Ignace. read more
