Guest Ratings & Reviews
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!
I had a fantastic time at Lilac Tree Suites and Spa, especially during the Port Huron to Mackinac Race. The rooms are superbly clean, comfortable, and quiet, providing an excellent atmosphere for relaxation. The location is perfect, right in the heart of all the action on the island, although I did face a few issues with the air conditioning during my stay. Overall, it's a delightful spot for families and friends looking to enjoy the island's charm.
