Good but short stay

The hotel is very nice, efficient and clean. The only thing that I didn’t like was the check out time, it’s at 10am. Too early!

Lakeside charm and convenience

Beautiful sunset views and nicely renovated accommodations. Easy parking and quick access to Petoskey and Charlevoix. Felt more like an inn than a hotel with its lakeside charm and convenience.

I love The Bay Inn. I have stayed here multiple times over the last two years. It’s my go to property when I come to the area.. the rooms are beautiful. The beds are the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. The staff is outstanding, very communicative and super sweet..

Fantastic stay at this B&B - 10/10. We can’t say enough good things about the inn and service. The room was quiet and clean and the breakfast was delicious. If you’re in the area, skip the hotels and stay here!

It is a small hotel that overlooks Little Traverse Bay. The views are amazing and the rooms are beautiful. The beds are so comfortable. It is truly a hidden gem

Just ok

Room was pretty small. Ok for 1 but too small for 2 people. Fairly noisy with thin walls and noisy upstairs neighbors

Nice view but room had pet odor

The view was great. The room was fairly clean, but we did notice a pet odor and there was cat hair near the front door when you walk in. Other than that, it was nice.
