Very good

The motel is lakefront with a nice beach. Fire pit for guests. The manager was very nice and upgraded our room to ground floor which was better for mobility issues. Clean, comfortable bed and nice, thick bath towels. View of Lake Huron and Mackinac Island are beautiful.
First we had trouble even finding the place. Second it was an old wood wore down dirty place. Hotels.com rated it as very good, not so, also showed it as fully refundable, never checked in but hotels.com billed me anyway. I do not recommed hotels.com because you can contact anyone if you have a problem. Their online chat service is terrible
For an inexpensive room, it was surprisingly nice! Lots of hardwood inside the room. The bathroom was tiny with a standup shower, but it was sufficient for an overnight. There is a bonus little beach with some chairs to relax and listen to the water. Would 100% recommend.
This is a comfy and convenient place to stay in St. Ignace. Right on the beach with a nice firepit and a grassy area for the dog. Easy walk to Jose’s for dinner.
We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our stay at Bay View. Housekeeping staff did a nice job of tidying up the rooms each day. Loved the lake view and nice lounge chairs outside by the water. Comfy beds, clean place.
We absolutely loved our stay at this motel. There is nothing better than sitting on the loungers by the lake after a long day of driving. Our room was comfortable and cozy. Staff was helpful and welcoming. The only drawback was there are not many restaurants within close walking distance.
Off the beaten path, quiet, friendly staff. They are in the process of updating the rooms. Good progress. Very friendly and helpful staff (especially oecially at figuring out the TV access!). The best part is the evening bonfire on the beach. We met several of our fellow travelers from several states and around Michigan, and we all had a great time. Looking forward to staying here next Labor Day weekend!
We have stayed at this motel for many years. It has greatly improved and is in the process of more renovations.
The woman in the office, Kendra, I think was very helpful and kind.
The young adults that were cleaning the rooms were extremely hard workers and do a fantastic job.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
stayed overnight as a couple. Kind of noisy, people walking past our window, dogs in other rooms barking quite a bit. No phone in room, ours were out of network. Beds very comfortable. Facility is quite old (vintage).
This place was really cute and we had our own private section to the beach. Only down side was the construction Nextdoor and smell of chemicals. The shower is also veryyyyy dated but it was all clean and the rooms were very nice . Great for the price and off the strip

When we take the motorcycle we like to have a parking spot right in front of the room with private entrance and no hallway. This is why we booked here. The room was ok… could have been cleaned better but it’s probably more in need of new flooring than cleaning. It was outdated but still quaint. But it is literally right on the water. Like the water was 30 feet from our window. Gorgeous, serene, and quiet. The girl at the front desk was adorable and super helpful and the landscaper was also super helpful and accommodating. He moved the picnic table right to our door so we could play cards at night while enjoying the water. There is also a fire pit and beach chairs right down in the beach. We did have a super weird guy staying next to us who was definitely a bit sketchy, but although he was annoying he was mostly harmless. We will absolutely stay here again, way prettier than mackinaw city. And the Mexican restaurant that the girl recommended when we checked in was only a two block walk and was delicious.

The refrigerator kept quitting and the bathroom floor was mildewed and curled away from the tub
We stayed in room 19, just feet from the Hampton Inn's massive new hotel which dominates your view. Construction workers with nothing better to do than party have taken over this place. They seemed to have made friends with other transient workers who took over the beach area and were drinking and smoking weed until after midnight on a weeknight, then they stumbled into work at 7:00 am to work on the hotel. When the work day started we had a steady stream of workers walking, talking just feet from your room. The window in the bathroom had a piece of plexiglass scotch taped over the broken glass and screen is still cut from a previous break in . Floor was gritty from all the sand and the furniture looks like something you might see laying along an old country road.
The woman at the front desk wasnicee but she leaves early, not that anyone cares about public intoxication here. This place needs to be torn down and sold for a parking lot for the Hampton Inn which will be spectacular. I wouldn't recommend this place for travelers.
