Would be nice if they served breakfast!

Booked this as a one night stop over and wish it was many more. The rooms are very clean and beautifully decorated. Has all the amenities you would need. Comfortable bed, quiet. They even deliver a box breakfast to your door in the morning. The staff are amazing! Super friendly and helpful. It’s right on the beach so the wonderful sound of waves at your door (don’t forget to keep the screen door closed for the bugs at night). This hotel is a true gem in every way.

So close to the water. The balcony was so relaxing

Very social and helpful. Attentive and eager to make your stay pleasant and worry-free!

Very amiable staff from front desk to all support staff. There was just a small matter that was taken care of immediately! This will be my go to when I travel to Traverse City. The room was bright and sunny as opposed to the dark cave-like atmosphere I have encountered over the past couple of years. Well worth the price!

You always worry when you see a negative review or two about a place. But our experience here was without a single problem. Everybody who worked there was friendly and accommodating. The room was cleaner than clean. The view was remarkable. The areas within and outside the hotel were quite peaceful. Everything worked in the room from the tv to the lights to the wonderful shower. And the “breakfast in a box” was simple and tasty, exactly like I would prepare at home. And it’s convenience allowed us to eat, and quickly get on with enjoying the city. Thank you, Baywatch.

Amazing staff, views, great location.

Great staff and overall a wonderful stay!

Absolutely love staying here. A little bit extra for a room facing the bay with a sauna was well worth it! Extremely friendly staff, extremely clean facility… will come back again definitely!

Very Clean

Very clean and new! Felt very comfortable and loved the tub!

Very nice service. Clean and neat. Great view from beach side room!

Very clean, and friendly staff. Boxed breakfast delivered to your room was nice. Pool area would have been nice.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. Loved the beach view! The boxed breakfast was adequate, but I have to say that I much prefer a hot, sit down breakfast. All things considered though, we enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

breakfast was not good
