Would stay again!
I booked this hotel based on other reviews. It certainly did not disappoint! Check in was easy and the room was spotless. Can’t beat the bridge view!

Great view!
Love this hotel! I’ve stayed here a few times and love the location, view, and friendly staff. I gave 3 stars for comfort because the bed was like sleeping in a hammock (room 105). I don’t recall having that the other times I’ve stayed here.

Great location
Comfortable but small room, kitschy decor, great location and heated pool still open in October. Met our needs perfectly!

Comfortable bed, no breakfast which is some disappointing, amazing view, fairly quiet, parking was a bit challenging when lot full for my handicapped mom. Building needs some TLC as upper balcony rails are scary. Steep steps with another scary rail. All in all would gladly stay again.

The Riviera Motel exceeded our expectations and made us feel very welcome! We only stayed for one night, before our overnight trip to Mackinac Island.
When we checked into the Riviera Motel, the owner spoke a mile a minute, describing all of the places we might want to visit: recommended dining within walking distance; sold us discounted tickets for the ferry round trip with no date or time limits; got us pick up and drop off shuttle service for the ferry; warned us that one of the ferry services was not available; and even allowed us to park our car overnight at his motel while we went to Mackinac Island at no cost.
It's not a fancy motel, but the view of the bridge and Lake Michigan is spectacular! The bridge is lit up in colors at night. The location is right next to the Fort Michilimackinac and Lake Michigan, and an easy walk to downtown.
I highly recommend this motel if you are not looking for luxury accommodations!

Best view in Mackinae City. Easy parking and great beach. If you want a moonlight stroll along the beach, this is the place for you.
