We have stayed here at the Baywatch Resort many times. The rooms are exceptional in many ways. Plenty spacious, bright and cheery, nice mattresses and linens. Breakfast is simple yet sufficient. My favorite part is NO carpet. The floors are beautiful vinyl flooring. So much cleaner than nasty carpet.

We had a top-notch stay at this hotel in Traverse City. Breakfast delivered to your room and eaten on the balcony while enjoying a beautiful sunrise. It all worked out perfectly for us. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I hope to go back again. The room was well stocked and clean. Bed was super comfy.

The check in clerk never greeted me. She simply looked up and waited for me to state my reason for being there. She was all business and not particularly friendly. Other front desk staff we saw during our stay were very pleasant and helpful. The room was neat and clean. It had a king bed, sofa sleeper, refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. A balcony with two chairs, overlooking the bay. Bed was comfy, room was quiet. A couple of USB charging ports would have been nice. TV was not a smart tv and mounted firmly, too close to wall. Wanted to plug my Roku stick into HDMI port. Finally able to do so after 4 different tries in 30 minutes. Had to do it by feel, because you couldn’t see easily. There was a glitch with breakfast delivery being late on first morning. It was on time the next day. A drippy shower was addressed by staff. A light over the vanity was out. Staff replaced it with one that flickered like a strobe. I ended up just unscrewing it. All in all, I would stay here again.

This is a well maintained beach front property. Hotel competition in the area is fierce and off season rates become very attractive in the fall and winter. A box breakfast is delivered to your room in the morning and 24 hour fresh coffee is available in the common room off the lobby. The Traverse City state park is accessible by an elevated walkway across US 31 should you wish to explore.

The property was very clean and updated. I would stay again but probably stay on the waterfront side. The street side did have traffic noise.

The room was strange. We had to have breakfast in our room, a cold very simple bag of stuff and there was no convenient table to eat on. For a room that cost over $150 there was no place for two people to sit comfortably.

Great Color Tour Stop!
The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Beautiful view off the balcony. It was a great place to stop - easy check in - courteous staff. One drawback which is easy to fix - there is no water in the workout room. This should be a priority! I still gave them a 5 star because it was a really nice room with the equipment I needed.

This is a beauty property. We loved our tastefully decorated bay view room where we were even able to catch a photo of the Northern Lights from pir balcony. Having a simple breakfast delievered to our room at a time of our choosing was also a bonus. Also loved the outdoor space for relaxing. I would highly recommend this property!

The hotel is good, however, I couldn’t sleep because people started yelling and talking loudly at 3:30am. It went on for couple hours and they seem to be drunk. I was surprised nobody from hotel service came to quiet them down

I really liked the view from our room. Unfortunately, we left the door to the deck open and got some mosquitos. The windows were not very clean. Breakfast was not very good so I would suggest they don't offer it.
