Room was most clean & comfortable. Staff at desk & breakfast was courteous & most friendly. Pool area was clean & well maintained. We have enjoyed multiple nights here in Summer & Winter, and stay here even though we have relatives in this area. Excellent location, near downtown, shopping, and wineries.

The breakfast and selections were plentiful. The room clean and tidy at all times as attendants were there to watch and assist . Checkin I noticed was welcoming and friendly too all on a late afternoon shift. The super shift around 8pm one night easily and cheerfully solved a major problem I had quickly with empathy. I will always book Bayshore Traverse City in the future and by the way great location and quiet beach!

Property and rooms nice and very clean. Great experience until we tried the continental breakfast. Brochure says 7am-11am, we got there at 9:50 and they were out of everything and the kitchen staff really didn’t seem to care. We watched them tell another guest who arrived that it is done at 10am, even though he challenged based on the brochure. Update the brochure, or stay open as advertised. We would certainly stay there again, but the breakfast thing was very annoying.
