We checked in at 9:00pm. The sign was not lit up and we drove by twice. Our code did not work to enter our room. I called the number on our contact list and the person immediately apologized and reset it. But this did not make for a good first impression. The room was very clean and updated. The bed was very comfortable. The linens and towels were fluffy and new. The shower had both a hand held and overhead shower head. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash all good. As mentioned by the hotel the walls are thin and you hear talking, walking and doors. Without the initial glitches I would recommend this room for amenities,location, view of water across the street,and price.

Our room was very clean and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable as well. We were delighted with the view from our room, spectacular! The water pressure in the shower wasn't ideal but overall we were happy with the place & price.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and we were very impressed with the property. The amenities were a nice touch- Keurig coffee maker and everything you need for coffee and tea! Our room was super clean and decorated nicely. It felt like we were guests in someone’s home, rather than a hotel! Location was wonderful and so was the price! No problems checking in, easy to communicate with property via text or phone if needed. Will definitely be back for future trips to the area!

Sometimes better to pay more elsewhere
Entered an unusually warm room on a hot day. Window air conditioning needed multiple steps to operate correctly. Bathroom / Shower door would not close shut. No room service the next day. Our garbage was piled up and not renewed - toilet paper not enough - bugs had webs just beyond the entrance / exit door as we stepped outdoors - no elevator service despite 12 steps exposed to the outdoor weather - two small cockroaches around the Keurig Coffee Maker.

Our family of 3 stayed 1 night and enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the modern decor and cleanliness of our room. Small glitch with everyone that checked in the same time we did. For some reason our codes to enter our rooms didn’t work. Called the # that was listed and they picked up immediately and helped us out. We would definitely stay again if we ever find ourselves back in Petoskey.

Great studio.
This is a great little studio apartment in an excellent location within minutes of downtown Petoskey. Is tucked up behind a home on the property to the left of the main inn. It was very clean (except for the fan in the room, which was very dusty). Included coffee and tea, a small refrigerator, a stove, and microwave. The king bed was super comfortable. No view from the room, but the inn has hot tub and fire pit areas with gorgeous sunset and Lake views. The inn sits up a bit from the highway, and with this studio’s back location, we did not hear traffic noise. The description and arrival instructions could be better. We never did find out how to run the AC, or if there was any. It turns out we did not need it as the weather was beautiful. There is nothing that specifically shows you which pictures are of the studio apartment. Or what amenities it has. Maybe I missed it.? There was no Wi-Fi code in the room so we had to call. The email sent to us for arrival instructions said we would receive an email with a code for Entry that afternoon. No email. When we called, we were given different arrival instructions. Overall a great, clean, basic place.

What a pit
This hotel is a pit. I’m totally stuffed up and It ruined my vacation. The air conditioner was so filthy. It was blowing allergies and mold into our room. The pictures had a dining room and hot tub. Guess what nope neither were included. I’m so bummed that I didn’t check this out closer. We thought we were staying in Lake Michigan at Bay inn was so gross. I’m confused out what happened here. I will never use Hotels.com again. I refuse to pay 333.
