The Baywatch Resort

The Baywatch Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed an excellent stay at the Baywatch Resort. We had a first floor room with a walk out patio that overlooked the beach and Lake Michigan. Our room was clean, roomy, and comfortable. We had a fridge, and microwave. The included continental breakfast was on the cheap side - no fruit, only carbs. And the small room proved to be tight, and hot (especially at prime breakfast hours). We would definitely recommend this hotel when one is in the lovely Traverse City area."

"The bar located on the 10th floor made for a nice destination in the evening offering beautiful views of the Bay and downtown. The bar staff was friendly. The only downside was having to climb the steps from the 9th to the 10th floor. An employee mentioned the elevator to the 10th had been out of commission for a couple months. We can easily climb steps, but some may find it difficult."

"We like the location and parking is simple. The cleaning staff is excellent- friendly, hardworking and a lot is expected of them beyond job of housekeeping, as no one else is around. The hotel is very clean. The front desk is not “ manned”, though lovely to look at upon arrival. The “ computer” access is unavailable as the printer has no paper and keyboard is locked down. Not available at either of our stays. Breakfast is not what we expected. Cold cereal, cold eggs sealed in a bag with an October expiration date?! And previously frozen, dried pastry. Not fit for anyone.Disappointing. With so many great options to be healthy and “ unique” , why not offer a small and wonderful way to break fast? Highlight was Vietnamese pour-over room coffee!! It was amazing & great surprise! Also loved the availability of washer & dryer!"
