Great cozy little older place. We liked it much better than the normal newer mega hotels that just feel cheap. Would definitely recommend if you want a cozy place with a great view of the bay. I enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking my tea (great tea selection) and taking in the nice views. Very relaxing.

I love The Bay Inn. I have stayed here multiple times over the last two years. It’s my go to property when I come to the area.. the rooms are beautiful. The beds are the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. The staff is outstanding, very communicative and super sweet..

Updated older hotel. My room was very nice and clean. I feel that $400 a night was overpriced but that seems to be the cost of the area.

The room was great. Service was excellent as well but the pool was a major disappointment. The water in the hot tub was so disgusting you couldn’t even see the steps or the bottom. The pool was gross, cloudy and so disappointing.

Convenient location, just outside Petoskey. Little Traverse Wheelway runs nearby (currently right on the shoulder of us31). Beds are micro-foam mattresses , takes a little getting used to. Overall very nice.

The location was great. Nice view of the bay. Private. Housekeeping is not great. There is no ice machine or vending. Only hotel I've ever been to that doesn't have phones. I still enjoyed my stay here. The location is very nice.

We had a clean, aesthetically pleasing room with a very comfortable bed. Check in/Check out was very convenient and easy. We had no issues with road noise or thin walls. The Inn has beautiful views and we enjoyed the outdoor fire places and caught a stunning sunset. The Inn’s location is close to everything we wanted to do on our trip in Northern Michigan and will definitely book again.
