Top Traverse City Hotel Reviews

Bayshore Resort

Bayshore Resort

8/10 Good
"The indoor pool and hot tub was at the perfect temperature and we liked the beach- because it's not connected to all the other hotel properties in Traverse City, it felt like we had our own private beach. Other than that, breakfast was ok. For the amount of money that we paid for our stay, the property is outdated along with the rooms. I would think for that amount of money that things we would be updated and improved and more "beach-feel" but it was dark and dreary, so that was a bit of a disappointment. Otherwise, we had a great stay. Staff was friendly and helpful."

"Room needed some updating but it was super clean. The free breakfast was as expected; waffle machine and some pastries, yogurt and fruit. One of the ladies named Val who was servicing the breakfast area was also very helpful providing many of the guests with detailed ideas of things to do in the area. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable.would stay again."
