The room was pleasant with a great view of the water from the second floor. Unfortunately the road noise was a distraction. It might've been quieter on the first floor. The shower was also very narrow and could've benefited from a curved curtain rod.

It was the little things like real coffee cups and wine glasses instead of styrofoam. Very friendly staff and a great view.

We appreciate your review. It's so nice when guests appreciate our efforts to provide our guests access to real coffee mugs and wine glasses! We are a small independent vintage Inn...quite unique these days with views of Lake Michigan that can spoil anyone. So please travel safe and return soon! Shirley and Verne, owners

Comfortable and convenient

Some things are dated but this is a well kept motel. Any negatives are really just nit picky.

Small

Very expensive for what you get. Room is very small and children were afraid of the many bugs inside the room. The view was gorgeous, location convenient and solitary.

Beautiful view at Bay Inn

Bay Inn provides a beautiful view of Little Traverse Bay but I really think I paid too much for a very uncomfortable bed. The owner checked us in and he is friendly and welcoming. The motel is straight out of the 70's though including those rock hard mattresses of that era! The place is extremely clean and well maintained. If the view is most important to you...this is you place. Also know that this is not on the water. It is on a hill across a busy highway from the bay but an unobstructed view of the entire bay.

Nice, quaint hotel with a view of the Bay

Pros: The view, décor, privacy, easy payment options
Cons: I ended up with several bed-bug bites. Also, website said free continental breakfast but the manager said that was granola bars
Location: Very close to shopping, walking by the bay & pier, restaurants
Our stay was quite positive, other than a couple of things. Great view of the lake/water, easy to locate, friendly service

Older motel, clean, nice views

It was on the high price side for what it is, but it was clean and had all necessary things

Across from the bay, reasonable view

Rooms are very clean. Spartan decor, thin sheets and blankets. Warm enough in the winter though.

Awesome View !

A Mother/Daughter Trip...our plan was "not" to stay in any chain accommodations.....This property was A+, a great central location for many sites. Inn Keeper lives onsite and maintains the Inn as if they stayed there themselves ! Clean and homey ..... View from the room was beautiful.
