A couple of days in Petoskey

Room was clean, beds were comfortable. Grounds were well-kept. We enjoyed using the fire pit on a cool evening. Good location; thought it might be noisy being right on a busy road, but that was not the case. Only issue was a lot of peeling paint in the shower area; the fan cannot keep up with the moisture from the shower. Would stay here again .

Cute motel

Cute little motel. It needs a little attention to details (heating coil cover), but certainly an acceptable place to stay.

Good but short stay

The hotel is very nice, efficient and clean. The only thing that I didn’t like was the check out time, it’s at 10am. Too early!

A quick trip to Petoskey for relaxation. Great little inn at a fabulous price. Clean. Easy in and out, good coffee in the morning. No breakfast but plenty of places around town for that.

Didn't interact with any employees. It would have been nice to have had something in the room with info about the hotel amenities, and the surrounding area etc.

Lakeside charm and convenience

Beautiful sunset views and nicely renovated accommodations. Easy parking and quick access to Petoskey and Charlevoix. Felt more like an inn than a hotel with its lakeside charm and convenience.

I love The Bay Inn. I have stayed here multiple times over the last two years. It’s my go to property when I come to the area.. the rooms are beautiful. The beds are the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. The staff is outstanding, very communicative and super sweet..

Fantastic stay at this B&B - 10/10. We can’t say enough good things about the inn and service. The room was quiet and clean and the breakfast was delicious. If you’re in the area, skip the hotels and stay here!
