Great place .. will stay again

Great location .. 1/2 mile walk to the boats or take shuttle , good food near by , good hot water in the shower BUT takes about 3 min of running before it gets there (at least to our room) so turn it a few min before getting in ..

Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was nice and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable but there was a dampness that could have been better taken care of. We like that the Bayside is in town so we can walk to shop and eat.

This was typical of many hotels in the UP. It was clean and quiet. We were able to walk St Ignace easily.

Carla, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ok

Efficient check-in. The room was clean and covered all of the basics. Wifi was spotty, but mostly on. No breakfast service. Great location on the water and walking distance to several shops and restaurants.
Laura, 1-night trip

Great customer Service and Location!

Great location right across form the marina and walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and the ferry to Mac Island. We arrived super late after sailing across the lake and the staff made sure we could still check in even though their office was closed.

Clean, nice staff
Kimberly, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The desk staff was helpful. When our coffeemaker didn’t work, they brought a new one. One evening the hot water did not come on, but it did the next morning. In the bath there was a bottle of conditioner on the wall, and an empty space where I surmised a bottle of shampoo would go.
Tracy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Property was pretty outdated and rooms were not super comfortable. Staff was okay
Di, 2-night trip

Our room was clean, quiet, and my bed was comfortable. Staff were very friendly, and I was grateful they allowed us to check in a couple hours early.

Daniel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location was good. Curtains did not keep light out. Bed needed a better mattress. Rust in bathroom areas. Sink fixture hard to turn on and off - needs to be replaced. Very small, thin towels.
Jim, 2-night trip

It was okay, old and very worn

8/10 Very good

Clean room with comfortable bed. Couldn't figure out how to operate the tv.
Steven, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean and and all basic amenities (fridge, microwave and Keurig). Very close to ferries to Mackinac Island and they allowed us to remain parked in the lot. Only downside was the water only was tepid even after being run for a long time.
Laura, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Close to many shops and restaurants.
