I had an amazing stay at Lilac Tree Suites on Mackinac Island. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, and the staff went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect. I loved the balcony overlooking Main Street, perfect for relaxing and people-watching. The only downside was wanting more pillows for extra comfort and limited bike storage. Overall, a fantastic experience and highly recommend it!
