User reviews for MISSION POINT RESORT
By worldclasssoxfan from Burbank, Illinois • Absolutely loved it except for two things!
Overall Rating: 6 Location [6] • Room [6] • Service [6] • Value [4] My fiancee', four year old daughter and I went to the island for the first time in September of 2004. We immedietly fell in love with the place. The horse drawn taxi that we took to Mission Point was a very welcome and nice break from the norm. As we arrived at the resort, we were pleased with the grounds and area around the resort. They were very clean and well kept. The staff at the front de... [more]sk were friendly and helpful. There was a comment made in another review that stated that something about the distance being to far from the town. We found that to be a plus, not a minus. Me and my fiancee'thought the daily trips by horse drawn taxi to be very romantic and our four year old thought they were great.Now to get to the two things we did not like about our stay there. We stayed in a building seprate from the main lodge of the resort...which had NO air conditioning. It would have been worse had the resort not stocked the room with 2 box fans. It was pretty warm the September of 2004, and we could understand the air not being actvated at that time of year in the far northern part of Michigan, but to have no air at all completely ruined our ideas of returning there during the summer months. They other thing was that many of the accomodations were not open, like the theatre and a few others. If it had not been for those things, we probably would have gave FIVE stars for "Overall Experiance". Yet those two things aside, we had a wonderful time and would go back there much more often if those things could be some how changed. [less]
Was this review helpful to you? → YES / NO | | By weaner618 from Bronx, NY • At Least There Is The Scenery
Overall Rating: 2 Location [10] • Room [4] • Service [4] • Value [2] My husband and I booked a cottage room double ($275/night after taxes and fees) approximately 8 months in advance (for a wedding). This reservation was confirmed both by phone and by mail. Upon check-in, we found our reservation had been canceled due to an incorrect entry into the hotel computer. Apparently someone had entered our arrival date 5 days before our actual arrival and we were consid... [more]ered a "no show." It took us almost an hour to straighten out the situation. It was finally resolved and it turned out that we were to be upgraded to a "Lake View" room for our troubles. Unforutnately, our room was not ready and we had to wait 2 more hours before we could get a room.
We finally got in to find our "Lake View" to be barely that. Also, we were quite surprised to find that the rooms were not air conditioned (however, there was a box fan provided). Being that it was the middle of August, our stay in our room was immediately found to be brutally hot. Additionally, the rooms were very small and poorly decorated. For example, the window treatments looked like something out of grandma's house - they were both out of date and full of dust balls and cobwebs. Furthermore, the wallpaper was peeling as was the enamel on the bathtub. I cannot tell you about the housekeeping service being that our room was not cleaned!
The only people who seemed to be friendly were the young kids who were hired to bring up the bags (and were tipped accoringly). Everyone else had an air of arrogance about them. I know that this is supposed to be a posh resort, but I didn't know that it practised the snobby sterotypes as well! Also, the hotel food was mediocre at best. Most of the stuff was very bland and tasteless. I feel I could get a more gourmet meal at a Sizzler.
Overall, my experience at the Mission Point Hotel was extremely disappointing. I felt that it cost me too much to stay at something equivalent to a Motel 6 although it cost more then a Westin. I was happy to see my two friends get married which was the hotels only saving grace. But, I will end this review with one nice thing - the island itself is magnificent; a definate portrait of natural beauty. If Mission Point has one pro it is definately the scenery! [less]
Was this review helpful to you? → YES / NO | | By Hidden Vacations User from Cherry Hill NJ • left early never to return
Overall Rating: 2 We drove all the way from NJ for this place where I reserved a lake front room. The room was small, hardly seeing the lake over condos,the bed was a hump in the middle with blanket which was all pilled, and it was hot hot hot with no air conditioning. AT least one of the hotel reviews said it was air conditioned, and I never expected it to be not the guest rooms.
Prices were atrocious con... [more]sidering the hotel levy and tax. Restaurant poor---we ate outside at the fine dining room becaause it was cooler, and the stuffing was coming out of the chair. Some one who wanted to eat there couldn't because they didn't have enough cushions.
Transportation into town is $4 per person.
It was a real disappointment. [less]
