Great time in St Ignace
Great experience and if we go back to St Ignace, we will be staying at the Budget Host Inn. Staff was friendly, hotel was clean, beds were comfortable, pool was nice, proximity to Sheplers was great, and overall loved the stay.

Very Clean and Comfortable
The hotel older but the rooms were very clean and smelled good. We brought our puppy Gelato (4) and it was so easy to take her outside to do her business. We stayed after the Labor Day holiday so it was very quiet. The hotel is a short walk to Shepley's ferry ride to Machinac Island. We didn't get to use the pool because we were super lazy but it looked very clean and sanitized. Price was very reasonable and we would definitely stay there again.

Great location and comfortable stay!
Friendly staff and comfortable, clean room. Loved that our room had an outdoor patio with table and chairs and the hotel is only a short walk to the Mackinac Island ferries.

Great hotel. I will definitely be staying again. The curbside view makes you hesitate bc the building is brown and it looks outdated. Give it a try if you want clean rooms, and friendly staff. The indoor pool and video game room was perfect for families.
