I would hardly classify Bayshore as a resort when no restaurant or bar were available. Breakfast was less than mediocre. Our room was extremely small for the $435 nightly fee. I was told to call the front desk and not go through Expedia!!

Not very impressed this time with Bayshore resort. Breakfast wasn’t that good like previous years. They removed regular Cheerios and no more corn flakes cereal. They have only those kids extra sugary cereal’s. No nutella as well. Room wasn’t that great either. We had 2 queen beds (not comfortable at all together with pillows), old carpet and we had some kids screaming next door and on other side someone smoking weed. No hair and body shampoo or soap when we enter the room, had to call to get some. We always come in summer time to this resort at least 2-3 times but this time wasn’t that great. Beach towels small and thin nothing compared to last years. Hope they will improve so guests who are used to have good stay will keep coming back

Bayshore has everything we need in Traverse City on vacation! Breakfast in the morning, Clean rooms, pool access if raining, but has the best beach location for the best price! They helped in a pinch this trip as we were left without AC and then out of power at a bed and breakfast this week. They had rooms available and were very accommodating with a late night checkin on short notice.
