Exhaust fan in bathroom didn’t work. Carpets in hall and room need shampooing. Spot above desk on ceiling looks like it is about ready to fall down. Just needs TLC. The staff was very friendly and kind. And the lady that took care of the breakfast area was excellent and very kind.

We decided on this hotel due to location unaware the amount of traffic surounding the hotel is hectic due to bridge crossings on either side. I must say it was an "excellent" decision due to the customer service we received. From the General manager to the cleaning crew absolutly everyone went out of their way to make our stay a pleasant one! Everyone took time to stop and say heĺlo with such a heartfelt demeanor! This hotel was clean, comfortable and would highly recommend if your in Bay City.

I was traveling for the memorial service of one of my closest friends. I booked this hotel because the family had made arrangements with them ahead of time. At 1am the morning I was supposed to fly out- my flight was cancelled. I spent hours on the phone with the airline and others trying to make other arrangements as this was unbelievably important to me. Unfortunately, it became clear there were no other options- I was devastated- I ultimately cancelled my reservation- providing them with the proof of the cancelled flight and the reason I was traveling. After 4 days back and forth with hotels.com and the hotel, I was told the best they could do was a partial refund (less than half of what I paid). For circumstances this extenuating I am disgusted. I will never ever book with comfort inn again.

Comfortable but needs updates

Hotel was clean but could use some updating. You can tell it is an older building and there were a few places where this is very obvious especially in the hallway leading back to the rooms near the elevator.
