I stayed there in the winter. It looked like the side door entrance had never been shoveled. Even when there are three "employees" sitting on the couch watching TV. Grab a shovel and a cup of salt and do something.

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.

We stayed 6 nights and they dont clean your room till you check out. I said thats ridiculous. The supervisor of house keeping came to our room and cleaned it her self. We really appreciated her for doing this. The guy at the fro t desk said they were shor staffed thats why no cleaning until you check out.
