The perfect location for our stay in Bay City. The breakfast buffet was very good each morning. The attendant was very sweet & welcoming, kept everything stocked as needed. Price was reasonable. Bed was comfortable. Shower felt great. Overall a decent property.

Just Pleasant

Desk staff were very friendly and efficient. I had booked through Hotels.com for a riverfront room but found my view to be a brick wall. Contacted Hotels.com and was informed that riverfront was “only when available” and there were none. Disappointing! Room was excellent, well appointed, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was usual fare but the woman staffing it should get a hold star. She was so friendly, greeting every table with a smile and keeping the food filled. Pleasant way to start the day. All in all, a good stay. I’ll read the fine print in the future.

Great stay - excellent customer service

The employees at this establishment are exceptional. From the front desk to people preparing breakfast, EVERY staff member with which I interacted was pleasant, helpful and memorable for customer service. The only negative I noted about this property was limited parking without easy access to the building from parking. Breakfast was great. Overall, this property exceeded expectations.

Overall it was a good stay. Started off not so friendly, the staff apologized and left snacks in our room. So that was nice. No complaints about the room! The overall “feel” of this hotel could be cleaner. Someone got sick in the stairwell overnight and was still there in the morning. This wasn’t a “bad” stay. But I would likely book with a different hotel in the future.
