Hotels & Hospitality Payment Processing in Michigan

Michigan is our home state. Available to hotels and hospitality businesses in all 50 states.

Michigan hotels range from downtown Detroit and Grand Rapids properties to resort towns up north where summer and fall carry the year. LimnPay sets up front desk, booking, and incidental payments for Michigan properties, with installs handled by our Birmingham team.

Michigan specifics

What Michigan hotels and hospitality businesses deal with

Lodging taxes stacked on every folio

Michigan stays carry the state's 6% use tax on lodging, and counties such as Kent and Ingham add their own lodging assessments on top. Folios have to settle for the full taxed amount, and guests notice when the final charge does not match the hold placed at check-in.

Peak months that make or break the year

Resort and lakeshore properties can do most of their annual volume between Memorial Day and color season. Processing should handle a July Saturday without hiccups and not charge you for capacity you do not use in February.

Event weekends and advance deposits

Football Saturdays, festivals, and wedding blocks book months out with deposits. Card-not-present deposits need to be captured with the right booking records so a disputed no-show can be defended.

Franchise and independent properties side by side

Ownership groups in Michigan often run a flagged hotel next to an independent one. We keep the setup consistent across properties so reporting is comparable.
