Top Petoskey Hotel Reviews

Hotel Perry

8/10 Good

"The pillows were too tall for my neck and the mattress too hard and I like firm. The breakfast was delicious and the staff very friendly."

Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was lovely, and the we loved the big front porch, the lawn with the Adirondack chairs, and the view of the lake from our room. Our bed was comfy, and our room, which had a fireplace, was nice, with a very cozy feel. The whole property kind of takes you back to another time--in a good way. The bathrooms do need some updating, and it's worth noting that the inn sits on a very busy road. On the whole, we very much enjoyed our too-short stay!"

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. Staff was very helpful and kind"

Terrace Inn and 1911 Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Lovely historic inn. Friendly staff, beautiful dining terrace, lovely grounds and access to Lake Michigan swimming beach"
