Bay Inn

Person working the desk when we checked in was great. When I was concerned about my ability to carry my luggage up to the 2nd floor, he carried it up for me ( REALLY appreciated that—thank you!) Breakfast on Friday was good. Really appreciated the coffee creamer. ❤️ Comfortable bed so we slept well. I know this is hard to control but the 2nd floor reeked of pot Friday late morning & this is a non-smoking inn. Perfect location for activities we were doing & people we were meeting. This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed here & if needed, we would stay again.

Only thing I can think of is being on the 2nd floor. I guess we have to make reservations earlier next time! We never had time to use the pool so can’t review that. If possible, it would be great if they could have a designated outside smoking area NOT near the entrance/ exit doors. Hated being “ smoked out” every time we went in or out of our car. (Another thing that is very hard to control). GreAt place. If needed,we will stay here again. Price was very reasonable!!

The breakfast was mediocre. I think the breakfast could have used scrambled eggs and some type of fresh fruit.

The only thing I did not like was the “open swim.” I was uncomfortable going in the pool area when the “open swim” was happening. I’ve never seen a motel offer open swimming to the public. A huge van pulled up and a bunch (like 15) of locals kids got out and invaded the pool area. I thought it was very uncomfortable! So, as a paying guest, I was uncomfortable going into the pool area until they left the building.

Great location. clean hotel. great breakfast. comfortable.

the pool is in need of some serious tlc. There was black hair floating around and an all around unkept/dirty look. maybe drain out the water once in a while to clean out the brown sludge at the bottom. the bed was loud. Every time you sat or went to lay on it, it made a sound like a truck was driving by.

Our rooms were very clean and the king size bed was very comfortable. The staff there was very friendly. We are planning another trip to Tawas in the future and will stay at this hotel again.

Front desk clerk said there is a "hot breakfast". We were all excited to have eggs and sausages/bacon. We came to breakfast and there was no "hot breakfast". It was more like a "continental breakfast". It was no big deal though we were happy to have some food.

Our stay with the Bay Inn was great! And even though the breakfast was Juice, bagles, cereal and coffee..it was the best food we had in Tawas. The big boy and the barnacle bill bar was terrible.

Honestly maybe just some larger sized towels for pool use but everything was pretty great!

The breakfast was great, maybe have another option as the two days we went we had to wait on food being made.

Bathroom curtain was moldy. Our Friday night check in gentleman did not give off a welcoming vibe, everyone else did for the remainder of our stay.

Very clean room and comfortable king bed, super kind staff, easy check-in and check-out, and a pleasant pool. Breakfast is a bit basic, but still tasty and enough for me. Surely I'll be back when around. I love these old-style motels. Thanks for everything.

The options werent too slim and the staff was present and friendly. It was also still out later in the morning.

There was a decent amount of options. Not a lot of warm options tho, like scrambled eggs or protein. Was still overall not bad.

It was in a good location. Staff was friendly.

The bed was way to hard for me. That’s just my opinion lots of people like hard beds.

Breakfast was really good, with waffles, cereals plus drinks. Very good social distancing practiced. Room was very clean, comfortable and large. Also, the pool and hot tub area is really nice and accessible. Very good value all around. We will definitely return.
