The bathroom was disgusting. I feel like they tried to renovate but left things short. There was no body wash in the shower. There was hair everywhere in the bathroom. The shower barely had any pressure. Not worth $160/night. You’re better off staying at the Comfort inn next door

Rundown and Overpriced

Hotel looks nice from the outside but inside it is old and rundown. The phones in the rooms look like they are from 1982. The furniture from 1992. It's OK for a night in Bay City, MI but a bit pricey.

Overall, OK. Main issues were multiple conferences when we were there (good for them, but made things crazy busy). And 1 of the 2 elevators were out of order. And did I mention multiple conferences going on...with 1 elevator! Great location though and overall decent hotel. And oh, yeah, they never emailed me my receipt!
