A fantastic, affordable and friendly hotel

I stayed at the Comfort Inn Bay City Riverfront during my time at the Hell’s Half Mile Film & Music Festival and it was a wonderful part of a wonderful experience in a truly beautiful (and fantastically ✨walkable✨) town. Special thanks and shout out to Kevin, Paige, Brian and Maggie for making this a wonderful stay.

Could used Air Freshener

Everything was great, except for our room smelled like strong BO when we first opened our room. Opened the window and turned the fan on high, than went to the pool for awhile, when we came back it had aired out enough.
