I was greeted by two friendly staff members! My room was clean. Staff was eager to tell me where the best local eateries were. The hot tub was large, but want very warm. The swimming pool was cloudy. I did not use the pool. I don't know if they had an elevator, I used the stairs to get to my... More

The room was clean and the shower was nice. Beyond that, I can't say much positive about this hotel. The first hour I was in my room, the phone rang three times. No one would be calling me on that hotel phone, and no one was there when I answered it. The message light kept flashing, so I called the... More

My family and I stayed at the Bay Inn this past weekend,Aug. 23 – Aug 26. This was by far the worst hotel stay we have had. I had stayed at this location many times before and never experienced the horrible conditions that we did this past weekend. My family is originally from Tawas and when mygrandparents lived up there... More

We drove four hours to get there only to find out that this hotel was overbooked and gave our rooms away. We had our confirmation number and they didnt care what so ever. They did absolutely nothing to remedy the situation. We had two small children with us and had to make the four hour trip back home. I have... More

Everything was the best. We are pretty budget minded and are used to compromising comfort for cost. Well, the cost was reasonable, and the experience was amazing! The staff was super friendly and very helpful. The room was very clean, spacious, and the mattress amazingly comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and coffee great.

My husband and I stayed at the Bay Inn for our first trip to Tawas. Barb at the front desk was delightful. Room was clean, king bed comfy, very clean bathrooms, ate a good complementary breakfast in the morning. Close to downtown for sightseeing and walking around. We will definitely stay here again!

My wife and I stayed at the Bay Inn in East Tawas Wednesday 8-3-11. When we arrived at 6:30 pm to our room (202) the room was warm which I assumed was because the A/C is not on until the person arrives in order to save electricity. I turned the a/c on high cool and the coldest setting and then... More
