Living & Working in Great Places

Worked in Michigan before?

hi everyone....just finished up a season working in Juneau, AK for Holland America Princess Alaska as a Driver Guide and now thinking of going to Michigan to work on Mackinac Island. Has anyone worked at the Island House or Hotel Iroquois before? What was your experience and which hotel do you recommend working at? They both look fantastic but not sure if one is better than the other. T hanks for your responses! And feel free to ask away about my experiences in Alaska.

The island has a reputation for being kind of a party spot for the employees(there isn't much else for younger workers to do.); ▶ Reply to This

It truly is a "Party" Haven for the addicted employee lol. Were you thinking now or next season? Better get your ap and resume turned in early though. Jobs go quick. I worked at Grand Hotel and Mission Point resort...... Hope this helps.....Larry; ▶ Reply to This

I've heard great things about both the Grand Hotel and the Hotel Iriquois...which one would you recommend? I've talked with Ryan at the Island House and he's accepting apps in December. Thanks so much for your input.; ▶ Reply to This
