The motel is lakefront with a nice beach. Fire pit for guests. The manager was very nice and upgraded our room to ground floor which was better for mobility issues. Clean, comfortable bed and nice, thick bath towels. View of Lake Huron and Mackinac Island are beautiful.

Done with is wed site
First we had trouble even finding the place. Second it was an old wood wore down dirty place. Hotels.com rated it as very good, not so, also showed it as fully refundable, never checked in but hotels.com billed me anyway. I do not recommed hotels.com because you can contact anyone if you have a problem. Their online chat service is terrible

Very Nice and Quaint
For an inexpensive room, it was surprisingly nice! Lots of hardwood inside the room. The bathroom was tiny with a standup shower, but it was sufficient for an overnight. There is a bonus little beach with some chairs to relax and listen to the water. Would 100% recommend.

We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our stay at Bay View. Housekeeping staff did a nice job of tidying up the rooms each day. Loved the lake view and nice lounge chairs outside by the water. Comfy beds, clean place.

We absolutely loved our stay at this motel. There is nothing better than sitting on the loungers by the lake after a long day of driving. Our room was comfortable and cozy. Staff was helpful and welcoming. The only drawback was there are not many restaurants within close walking distance.

Off the beaten path, quiet, friendly staff. They are in the process of updating the rooms. Good progress. Very friendly and helpful staff (especially oecially at figuring out the TV access!). The best part is the evening bonfire on the beach. We met several of our fellow travelers from several states and around Michigan, and we all had a great time. Looking forward to staying here next Labor Day weekend!

We have stayed at this motel for many years. It has greatly improved and is in the process of more renovations. The woman in the office, Kendra, I think was very helpful and kind. The young adults that were cleaning the rooms were extremely hard workers and do a fantastic job.

stayed overnight as a couple. Kind of noisy, people walking past our window, dogs in other rooms barking quite a bit. No phone in room, ours were out of network. Beds very comfortable. Facility is quite old (vintage).

Bathroom is seriously outdated and ridiculously small. Shower feels like you are in an old washing machine with rusty metal sides and bottom.

This place was really cute and we had our own private section to the beach. Only down side was the construction Nextdoor and smell of chemicals. The shower is also veryyyyy dated but it was all clean and the rooms were very nice . Great for the price and off the strip
