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!
