The rooms were very clean, but a little cramped for three people. The staff was very helpful. We absolutely loved the location! We had a beautiful view, and it was within walking distance of a ton of different places. The pool had a very interesting shape/design, but it was still fun. I appreciated the small store area in the lobby that we could purchase milk and OJ. We had breakfast to go on our last day and it was delicious.

Spacious king room with a view of the river. The warm walnut choc chip cookie at check in was a treat! Room was clean. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. We stopped in due to the Car show in Frankenmuth, glad we did. Had a bit to eat Tavern 101, queso/chicken nacho app to start, I had the cod fish sandwich, wife has pulled pork flatbread. Breakfast the following morning we stopped in at Mandy’s, glad we did, I had the cinnamon raspberry waffles with bacon, delish, the wife had the bagel sandwich with crispy hashbrowns, both excellent, Chris our server was awesome and attentive to our needs! Bay city is a desirable town that must be discovered! We will be back to check out the planetarium.

I loved the location, close to the nightlife and water. The hotel is old, very hot in the hallways. There was no WiFi , even though they give you a password to sign in, it never worked. The bathtub was so stained on the bottom, and didn’t drain right. Then all of a sudden the toilet would blow water out of it. Good thing we weren’t on the pot when it happened. We really were not I. The room except from 1130pm till 8 am, and it would shoot out water every 20 minutes. Horrible!! Also breakfast in a restaurant is ridiculous. Little amounts of food, need to ask servers to get you drinks. Thought this place looked nicer than the hotel in the area. Not worth the price
