Lighthouse visit with the Girls
At the beginning I was given a room with a king size bed which was not what I had reserved but this was fixed quickly. Thankfully moving us had not caused a problem as I had reserved a room with 2 queen beds for the 4 of us. The staff was very nice, the room was clean and the pool and hot tub were good. Breakfast was cereal, waffles, bagels and English muffins. It also included coffee, tea, and juice.

Made a last minute decision to get a head start on my trip and booked a room at the Bay Inn. Arrived just before 11pm and was greeted and checked in promptly. Room was clean and halls smelled clean. Stay was great, breakfast was a nice bonus and it was pretty quiet. Would stay here again.

I was charged way to much then what i was quoted and he claimed i did not reserve a room. I had my itinerary number and that still didnt make a difference. I will no longer make reservations with them.

Very nice, modern decor in the room. Modern flat screen TV, large bathroom vanity and mirror. Management has thought carefully about the property. Example--iron and ironing board in the room in addition to the hair dryer. The breakfast area was very clean as was the entire site.

Liked: Cleanliness
Both stairwells had men (staff?) just sitting in the stairwells talking on cell phones for a very long time. It wasn't disruptive or threatening, but just seemed... odd. On the positive side, the room was clean and the towels were extra fluffy.

Last minute, pleasant stay.
A last minute trip with hubby- lucky to find a place in Tawas. Pleasantly surprised about every aspect of our 2 night stay and we typically stay at higher end hotels. it was comfortable, quiet, clean, updated. Our only issue was with the TV remote, and card keys not working in far entrance. Helpful front desk staff. Might suggest if going with the auto dispensers for soaps, they work to dispense better/more. Thanks.

There was no maid service. If you wanted clean towels, you had to bring your dirty towels to the front desk. The beds and pillows were very hard. The bed linens and towels were very worn. I would have expected much more from a hotel charging over $200 per night.
