I think some of the towels/wash clothes should be replaced. Some are discolored and sometimes still (what looks like) hair in them. Other than that, every one is very helpful and friendly. I appreciate being able to bring my dog if I need to. I do wish the building had an elevator. I was also very pleased that the parking lot was cleared of the snow so quickly.

Not here, ewww
Had a hard time checking in, with the reservation and deposit and cards ,etc and miss communication and no understanding from an older confused woman behind the desk. That only got worst when the TV remote didn't work, she came in and says it wasn't for our TV. That our TV was a VI5Lo.. WOW , just wow. she used master remote and asked what channel we wanted, no freaking clue, not from here as we say a couple, she's asking what number is that repeatedly. Uhhg Pool and spa need to be re surfaced bad. The cement crumbling hurts your feet/ knees elbow, etc. especially in hot tub. And a huge glob of hair and lint ( I'm guessing) came floating up, when there was 3 of us in there. Couldn't even do breakfast, there were very noticably sick children running around ,who were coughing and dripping green snot from their noses All over the little bit of food that was offered. I have a compromised immune system. NO WAY. I mean the workers could have said something, the parents were yelling at them, and the kids were not listening. The room had m& Ms on floor, no little cool lotions or shampoo s. Only a Dial soap dispenser in shower, 1 roll of TP. Bed was hard as a rock. Nothing smelled fresh or clean. And not soft buy any means. Room filled with ants especially in bathroom. Our cooler on floor was packed full after 2 days on the floor. ( It's the middle of winter)1+ inch gap under the door. And so expensive, they had no off season pricing. 👎😞 No happy, won't return there

Stayed a couple nights for work and enjoyed my time here. It's quiet in the Winter, but I imagine they're busier in the Summer. If I need to stay in Tawas City again the Bay Inn will be my first choice.

Lighthouse visit with the Girls
At the beginning I was given a room with a king size bed which was not what I had reserved but this was fixed quickly. Thankfully moving us had not caused a problem as I had reserved a room with 2 queen beds for the 4 of us. The staff was very nice, the room was clean and the pool and hot tub were good. Breakfast was cereal, waffles, bagels and English muffins. It also included coffee, tea, and juice.

Made a last minute decision to get a head start on my trip and booked a room at the Bay Inn. Arrived just before 11pm and was greeted and checked in promptly. Room was clean and halls smelled clean. Stay was great, breakfast was a nice bonus and it was pretty quiet. Would stay here again.

I was charged way to much then what i was quoted and he claimed i did not reserve a room. I had my itinerary number and that still didnt make a difference. I will no longer make reservations with them.
