The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island opens its 130th season on Friday, May 6. A few guests paid for an early stay before the sprawling summer venue welcomes the general public. Dan Musser’s family has owned and operated the hotel for almost one hundred years. He tells WDET’s Pat Batcheller they’re opening a new restaurant soon. Crews also did some work on the hotel’s iconic front porch over the winter. Click on the audio player to hear the conversation.
