The room was nice, but the door to the second floor stairway wouldn’t open with our key card, so we had to enter on the first floor, walk halfway across the hotel to get to another stairway, then walk back to the far end where our room was. That’s a long way to carry heavy bags. We mentioned it to three employees during our stay, and nothing was done. Also , I was told they were going to write my debit card info “on the back of a piece of paper” in case of incidental charges. I can’t believe, in 2025, there isn’t a safer way to store my personal information than scribbling it on a piece of paper. Other than these two issues, we did have a pleasant stay and would return.

The city of East Tawas is a gem on the east coast of Michigan's Lower Peninsula - a quaint, lakeside community with a bustling downtown area. The Tawas Bay Beach Resort is located almost squarely in the center of town, right on the lake. The parking lot is spacious, and has plenty of room for handicapped guests (my wife is in a wheelchair). The lobby itself is inviting, open, and spacious, and all of the front desk employees I dealt with during my stay were not only pleasant and helpful, but friendly and conversational. Our room was very-well climate controlled, with a wall unit to set the temperature being very effective despite hot weather outside. The two queen beds were cushy, and there were fuzzy blankets in the drawers of the dresser/entertainment center in case the blankets and sheets provided with the beds weren't up to snuff. Our view looked out at the lake, facing south. The huge benefit to this is that, at no point during the day is the sun shining directly into the bedroom - morning comes softly, and evening leaves the same. It has swimming areas available not only on the beach itself, but also in an indoor pool, the enclosure of which houses a sauna and a hot tub as well. My family used the in-facility restaurant for our checkout breakfast, and all I have to say is that the breakfast gravy is amazing, and the skillet (on special that day) was perhaps the best breakfast skillet I have ever tasted. We vacation yearly - this IS a new regular destination for us.

Hot tub not working, no microwave in rooms. Staff was efficient and professional. Rooms were clean, but only cleaned every third day when you’re in the room. The beach was nice, but not much to do when the weather is bad.
