The hotel was clean and good for families with pets. It is old and run down but that didn't matter to us and our 3 kids. The kids loved the water park and it is in walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Bayside is located within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and the ferry to take you to the island. The price for booking the hotel was cheap, and the hotel had discounts for many activities, restaurants, and for the ferry.
Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was very nice, clean & bed was firm. Bathroom was also clean. Very nice location, walking distance to the center of the city. Have room coffee (not the best) and down by the reception too early mornings. Water park is really for little kids.
Patrick, 1-night trip

Great hotel at a great price!

Outstanding stay! This is the second weekend in a row staying here, and Bayside does not disappoint. Very clean, comfortable beds, nice hot showers and a great water park/pool/hot tub. Will definitely be staying here again (tonight in fact) on my way through Mackinaw City to and from Michigan Tech.
Toby, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible! We were given an outdated room with broken furniture. Toilet clogged the second day. Shower head stopped working. Only thing nice was it was close to the Mackinaw island ferry.
