The staff was courteous, the rooms clean, and overall they building appeared to be well maintained. On the negative side, the continental breakfast, which, for all practical purposes, I never known to be that great anywhere. This however, was a lack of things to eat.

Comfortable hotel. Good breakfast. Parking is dicey when you arrive late. Calling the room a ‘river view’ is a stretch - mostly its traffic view. Room was ok.

The room did not represent the reviews I read or pictures posted on the website. It was dark and dingy, shower moldy and no doors on the framework on the vanity. It seemed unclean and felt uncomfortable staying in this room. The front dest girl offered another room but we declined after seeing this room.

Room was fine. Our room was next to the exit door where handicapped parking was but we could not get in the outside door at night. Had to walk around the whole hotel to get in. Wete are handicapped! Not convient at all! We did appreciate the walk-in shower and ADA toilet.

A fantastic, affordable and friendly hotel

I stayed at the Comfort Inn Bay City Riverfront during my time at the Hell’s Half Mile Film & Music Festival and it was a wonderful part of a wonderful experience in a truly beautiful (and fantastically ✨walkable✨) town. Special thanks and shout out to Kevin, Paige, Brian and Maggie for making this a wonderful stay.
