Bay Inn

Tawas City

 We were given the keys to an already occupied room at check in.  Thank our Lord that the people were out when I opened their door to see bags already in the room. I was on a girl's weekend with my two young daughters and found this terrifying.  New keys to the correct room were provided, but I was left feeling shaken by this unacceptable mistake.  Would not recommend.

Terrified in Tawas

We had a glitch in booking but Michelle at the front desk was so helpful and straightened it out.  Our room was comfortable but the lack of elevators is disappointing.Rules of hotel state No Pets but our room still had doggie treats on the floor.

Good value, need more staff

Clean, comfortable and pet friendly!  Exactly what your looking for when traveling with your fur friend.  The rooms are updated.  Located right across from Lake Huron where you will find  pet friendly beaches.   The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Comfortable, clean, wonderful staff and pet friendly!

We picked this hotel based on reviews but it was worse than I thought. Its old and needs updating and the floors are dirty. We had our shoes and socks off and noticed that the bottom of our feet was black after walking around. People were also at breakfast grabbing food with no masks on. The hotel had everything out just like it was pre-covid with s waffle and pancake maker out for everyone to touch. No one said anything to the people not wearing masks. This grossed me out, especially when food is involved. They dont see to care there is pandemic going on.

Wont stay here again

Everything was great, from the friendly staff that we encountered to the cleanliness of the rooms. The breakfast was really nice. Lots to choose from and a great place to sit with family. The vaulted ceilings were also very nice with a great mural on the wall. The pool are was one of the nicest I have seen. It was a beautiful room with gorgeous wood everywhere. They take pride in their hotel and it definately shows. Thanks for the great stay! We will be back!

Weekday getaway

Just returned from a 2 night stay. If I could post pictures to show you the difference between what their pictures look like and what our actual room looked like, you would not believe it. Suppose to be 184.67 for Friday and a whooping 194.93 for Saturday. Imagine Orange walls with paint on the White ceiling Gold and green bedding Unmatching aqua carpeting. Burn holes on the dresser. Mold in the refridgerator. Husband had to take the lid off the tank of the toilet 2 times to get it to flush. Shower had one of those bent out half moon rods, it must have been pulled off the wall at some point and they lowered it and the angle is off so the curtain is in the tub for about 6" it was YELLOW, It would not stay in place causing water to go all over. Towels are paper thin. If this wasn't bad enough, upon checkout on Sunday, THANKFULLY I asked for a copy of my bill. Got up the road only to see that they had charged me an additional 194.93. Had to turn around and go back in. Person on duty argued it was correct, finally adjusted it correctly. Nice sign on the ice machine telling you not to use to fill your cooler, so make sure you spend extra money for that. We wanted to use the Indoor pool and hot tub....The pool looked nice, the hot tub was DISCUSTING. Brown, totally a different color. Based on everything else we decided it probably was not a good idea to risk our health. 

Ridiculously OVERPRICED / OVERCHARGING BEWARE!!

This is a typical Northern Michigan Hotel.
The front desk was friendly & helpful.
Normal breakfast options.
Ample & adjacent parking for cars & trailers.
The room was basic & adequat.
Precieved value? ..... A tad overpriced

The Bay Inn works

We booked a room last minute to break up our drive up north. Upon arrival at 7p the desk attendant was outside and hurriedly finished her cig to be behind the desk for our check in. Parking lot was mostly empty. We were given room 123 which was right there, visible upon entry in lobby. No biggie only 1 night. She said it was the last room on the 1st floor.
As soon as we entered there was a slight smell of smoke.
Enter the bathroom and it becomes strong...hmmhmm.
We left for dinner...again only 1 night. Back around 9:30 and the smell of smoke permeated the entire room. It was obvious someone had been smoking in there or in the next room or outside in front of our window. So when we asked to talk to the manager we were told "I guess that would be me". He was more defensive than empathetic and said my staff wouldn't smoke in your room, it could be coming from the room next door. WHAT? He said I have cameras everywhere. WHAT? Big signs of non'smoking everywhere. So a dump. No customer service. Don't go.

Non Smokers Beware 

Stayed at the Bay Inn Tawas for 17 nights in June. It is a basic hotel but everything works very well and i concluded my stay with no issues at all.
Friendly helpful reception staff make this a must return hotel for me.
Breakfast is adequate without being fantastic and a better selection of cereal would be appreciated.
Fast internet is always a good thing and the hotel delivers this.
Rooms are cleaned every day, lots of hot water and good tv channel list.
