We loved that this was a non chain quaint motel. Warning, if you are looking for all "the bells and whistles" of a fancy place you will be disappointed. However, if you are looking for a clean, quiet

This is the best place to stay in Mackinaw City. Clean, quaint and excellent view of the bridge.
Very nice motel. Beautiful view of the Mighty Mac Bridge. Family members referred us to this location. We really enjoyed our stay at the Riviera. We look forward to staying here again.
nice motel, clean and staff was great. only complaint was the size of the bed, I believe the bed was supposed to be a queen size but it had to be a full size. i am a larger guy and when i laid down on my back my wife could not get into the bed unless she laid on her side.
We loved our stay @ The Riviera Motel! I have very fond memories of Mackinac City/Mackinaw Island from my childhood & staying at The Riviera brought those fond memories back. Very clean & extremely friendly staff made the stay enjoyable and the view of the Mackinac Bridge & walking paths all around were incredibly beautiful. We would definitely stay @ The Riviera Motel again!
Front desk persons are very nice. they help to called shuttle bus to take us to the ferry station. very nice view for the sunrise, the motel is located right in front of the Lake. Room is clean. they come to clean every day. If upstairs' sound could be blocked during evening, then it almost a perfect place to stay.
In genanel, it is a very good hotel.

Best place to stay in Mackinaw City! Location is superb!
The room was decorated very nicely and a small welcome gift of hershey's chocolate kisses in a pretty box with a ribbon was on the bed. The hotel was located on the edge of a state park by the lake and it was nice to walk around the area before dark. However, the room was very small and we had to climb a narrow staircase with torn indoor/outdoor carpeting to get to it. The bed was uncomfortable and there was inadequate lighting in the room.
