The hotel was in a perfect location, minutes from downtown. Accessible to the beach with lounge chairs, towels. The hotel was spotless. The room was very comfortable, plenty of room, I liked the sink outside of the shower and toilet room. The breakfast was wonderful. I liked the sitting areas and many areas for sitting of eating in the hotel. Coffee was available all day. In the breakfast area, the coffee had multiple creamers, sugars, regular and decaf options. Breakfast offered breads, waffles, eggs, sausage, omelettes, juice, fruit, milk, yogurt, cereal- something for everyone. The pool was very clean and enjoyable, as was the hot tub. A fantastic stay!

That I couldn’t stay longer!

The room was immaculate, its furnishings were all comfortable, the shower was hot and powerful, the tv was large with plenty of stations, and the view from the beachfront room was amazing. And all of that came with an excellent price, providing a superb value. Even better, the folks there were wonderful. On check-in, the host (whose name I didn’t see) was both friendly and efficient, making the process quick and easy. And the next morning, Savannah at the front desk took plenty of time to share recommendations on things to see and do in the area, actually mapping a path for me to explore, the result of which was an amazing day of sight-seeing. Simply put, she went far beyond the norm for my expectations. The hotel isn’t brand new, so that should be understood for those seeking only the newest. And the breakfast room was a bit tight, but also kept clean and well-stocked. Overall, though, it’s aging quite well, with a staff that makes it even more impressive.

Out of their control, the city is doing road work throughout the downtown corridor, and this definitely impacted traffic. But that’s the case for all of downtown. It was totally manageable. In-town travel just took longer than normal.

This is my favorite hotel in Traverse City. We always stay here. I was a little disappointed by the staff during this visit. They were not as kind and friendly as normal. I called at noon and asked for an early check in and they told me that they would call me if my room opened up for which they never did. I arrived at 2:30pm and was able to check in. They just didn’t call I was sitting in the parking lot waiting to go in. I do love the property and location and cleanliness.

Breakfast was subpar. I would like to see higher quality products. my husband and I could not even go to the pool because there were too many children running around. One of the reasons we stay here is for the hot tub and when I walked in the door, there was one adult and nine children in your hot tub. My husband and I looked at each other and said “nope, no way”.

The breakfast was great. Especially the Michigan Cherry coffee. Nice touch! The omelette were a nice touch too. One of the best continental breakfasts at a hotel in my experiences. Room was right off the beach. Which was amazing. The lobby warm beverage stand was very nice. My son said it was the best hot chocolate he had ever had. Lol a lot of great choices including the green tea pomegranate. Overall a fantastic stay and we will be a repeat customer every year for soccer game. Thank you to the staff as well. They were very kind at the front desk and the kitchen and breakfast were on top of everything. Always had food out and kept the tables clean during the turnover if guests. Very very nice! It didn’t go unnoticed.

The rooms were a little outdated. The rooms had a smell to them. Not that it was bad. Just noticeable. Usually you want no smell.

The hotel was much bigger and more beautiful than we expected. It was easy to find and the parking was very accessible to the hotel entrance. Check-in was at 4 pm but our room was ready early. The hotel was very clean and spacious. Our room was easy to locate and was bigger and nicer than we had thought it would be. The room was well worth the rate we paid.

We were surprised to be given a room on the "beach level". Our room was right next to the hotel entrance to the beach, so when we sat on our balcony, there were people a few feet away and people coming and going to the beach. Being on the beach level was very nice, but maybe in a different location besides the main entrance to the beach.

The breakfast at Bayshore was nice. They had many grab and go items as well as hot items such as waffles, scrambled eggs, omelets and sausage. The breakfast area is large and very clean. We always stay at Bayshore every time we go to Traverse City. It is a nice hotel and we always have a good experience.

The hotel currently has road construction right in front of their parking lot. We could only turn one way out of there. This is only a temporary situation until the construction is done.

We had a beach view room with a balcony. The room was very spacious and clean. Breakfast was quite good. I like their pool and hot tub area, too. The beach was kept well with lounge chairs and towels. It's a perfect spot for sunset or star gazing.

The only complaint I had for the rooms was the pillows. So many of them but none to my firm/softness liking.

Great location, super friendly staff, nice beach front. They had beach towels to use, even some sand toys. Free coffee in lobby and indoor pool. Staff was really nice when I had to take a work call in the breakfast room and they worked around me - really appreciated that as I was a bit panicked about the Wi-Fi.

It was a bit pricey for a lakefront but I understand it’s peak season etc. At some point it might be nice to have brighter colors in the rooms and update but it was comfortable and met our needs! Also I thought Wi-Fi was good but it was too slow for my work laptop (per IT) so I kept getting kicked off of VPN. Download/upload speeds are slow. But don’t come here to work if you can!

Room with a view was very nice. Breakfast was typical continental and fine, nothing spectaclar. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Products provided (shampoo, lotion, soap) nothing to write home about, but were adequate.

Like most places that I have stayed in lately, there was no housekeeping service unless requested. Towels were very thin. Front desk did provided more supplies if you needed it but you had to ask. Coffee was weak. Check in person on Friday afternoon was not the friendliest person.

Staff is exceptional. Facilities are super clean, and staff is visible cleaning all the time. Pool & hot tub are clean and perfect temperature. There's a shuttle available to get you to restaurants or locations downtown & back. Beautiful beach, great off season price, terrific central location. The Moomers ice cream freezer in the lobby is a bonus.

Just need microwave in each room, or at least 1 on each floor. We had restaurant leftovers to reheat but we're on 3rd floor, had to go down 4 floors to the only microwave. It's just not practical.
