Resort Details
The Chippewa Hotel Waterfront is a non-smoking hotel.
Smoking on property is NOT permitted. If caught smoking inside your room or on a balcony, it WILL result in a $250.00 cleaning fee. Hotel management alongside housekeeping will make this determination.
Check-in/Check-out Times
Check-in after 4:00 p.m.
Checkout before 11:00 a.m.
Luggage Assistance
Dock Porters are available upon arrival at the ferry docks and can be arranged for at the front desk when it is time to depart the island. Dock Porter service is not included with the room rate. ($2-$3 gratuity per bag recommended)
In the event your room is not available upon arrival or you wish to stay on the Island after check-out, luggage can be stored with the hotel front desk.
Occupancy and Rates
All room rates are based upon double occupancy and are subject to 6% Michigan State Sales Tax, an 8% Hotel Levy and a 3% Mackinac Island Lodging Assessment.
Minimum Stay Requirements
During certain dates in the season, minimum stay requirements may be in place. This includes weekends and dates containing special events. Please see the rate calendar for specific dates.
Deposit
The hotel requires a deposit for all room reservations. Depending on the dates of the reservation, a one-night with tax or full-length-of-stay with tax deposit will be necessary.
Please note
When choosing to use a debit card as a deposit or form of payment when checking into the hotel, it is important to understand how banks handle debit cards and their transactions. When checking-in, the front desk computer system tells the debit card company to put a hold on the funds necessary to cover the entire length of stay. An additional $50.00 per day is also put on hold for incidentals. These funds are not withdrawn from the account, but are made unavailable until the Hotel indicates the funds are no longer needed. At this time, it may take up to fifteen days for the bank to make these funds available again.
For this reason, it is recommended that a credit card be used at check-in and then checkout with the debit card.
Payments
Cash, traveler checks, Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express are accepted.
A credit card deposit will be required upon check-in.
Cancellation Policy
In the unlikely event a reservation needs to be cancelled the following policy will apply. Cancellations made prior to fourteen days of scheduled arrival will have the deposit refunded minus a $25.00 processing fee. Cancellations made fourteen days or less prior to scheduled arrival will forfeit the entire deposited amount.
