The staff was friendly and even though they couldn't give us our keys early, they did get everything filled out and signed so we went to Bridge View Park (about 5 minutes away) to see the view and learn a lot of history about the vision and eventual construction of the bridge. We went back to the hotel at 3 and they handed us the room keys. Our room was clean but smelled very strongly of garlic (or some kind of strong spice) and I found a big chunk of endive in the sink drain when I was brushing my teeth.... no, it wasn't from my teeth! Hahaha, other than that, the beds were very comfortable and the room and bathroom were clean. The view of the Mackinac Bridge out our window was decent. We were towards the end of the building on the 1st floor so there were trees impeding our view a little, but we had a view of the south tower. Some rooms have awesome views. The hot tub was down for maintenance and ice machine was out of order, which was disappointing. The breakfast was the usual continental breakfast, hard boiled eggs, cold/hot cereal, fruit, yogurt and make your own waffle maker. The waffles are delicious!
