Reviews for Bayshore Resort
Review 1:In room "Hot Tub" for two did not have much power to give it a hot tub feel. Felt more like a regular bath.
Review 2:Clean. Rooms had a nice layout.
Review 3:this past time noise was a issue in the bathroom , sounding like a fan constantly running.
Review 4:stayed in the past ,several times, Clean, friendly, and great location to stores,
Review 5:The decor was very dated, and there was no refrigerator in the room. If we wanted one we would have to pay another $10 a night. Also there was no lounge for those of us who were staying more than one night.
Review 6:The whirlpool tub was great. We used it every night.
Review 7:When we called and complained about the party that started up at 3:30 am.in the room next to us, the front desk said they would call their room. We could hear every word and every pound on their door all night but never heard their room phone ring. So we just put up with the constant noise until about 6:00 am. No sleep for us. Next time I would insist on a new room far away from the party people.
Review 8:Beautiful and clean hotel. Very nice staff.
Review 9:There were some loud guest that I'm surprised were not told to keep their voices down.
Review 10:Clean, Staff was friendly and helpful with request. Awesome breakfast.
Review 11:a small fridge was not available.
Review 12:Friendly staff, and helpful, Linens and Towels very clean, pool was very nice, liked the location of the pool, well kept and towels readily available...Enjoyed our waterfront room...
Review 13:When I checked out there was no clerk at the desk. She was outside smoking the cab driver told her she had a customer at the desk
Review 14:Quiet rooms, excellent beds, great view, very relaxing
Review 15:Room bedding was dated my room was clean but you could tell it needed a deep cleaning there was no refrigerator or microwave in the rooms.
Review 16:Staff was extremely friendly. Location was perfect close enough to downtown to enjoy the shopping and right on the beach. Queen size bedroom was huge.
Review 17:Decor is very dated. The included breakfast wasn't bad but I was shocked that they practically run you out of the breakfast area at 10:00am we came down at 9:50 and they shut off the tv in the room and put the chairs on the tables around us while we ate our food. We weren't the only people to have shocked looks on our faces.
Review 18:Our room was very clean and the location is great.
Review 19:The pillows were not very comfortable.
Review 20:Staff was friendly and helpful! The towels were the best hotel towels ever!! Even the pool towels were nice! The room was clean and quiet! Breakfast was very good.
Review 21:There is absolutely not anything to dislike!
Review 22:John at the front desk was amazing! Problem with the dooor key card...even though he was busy, he immediately got two new cards made. Low on coffee...gets a new pot right then. We had a question how to get somewhere, he not only tells us how, along with suggestions on where else to go, he calls Keith who drives us there in the Bayshore van! Service here is second to none! Pool, hot tub and room were spotless!
Review 23:Breakfasts were good. The room was great . The staff sent us on great places to eat and great places too see. Even though it was cool out it was great the hotel was on the beach. My wife and I had a great time at this hotel.
Review 24:I had medical issue and had to spend nite in hospital. Staff went extra mile to extend our reservations for same room plus gave us the booking.com rate. Wife loved the extra sink. Nicest hotel on our trip for the money. Did not use any of the facilities or the beach area but they looked nice.
Review 25:Decorating could use an update--lots of remnants of the 90's-- "busy" wallpaper/patterns and boring, unimaginative furniture.
Review 26:Good breakfast, good choices, staff kept things well maintained
Review 27:The carpet in the public area a bit worn. The smell when you first walked in the lobby doors was musty. The spa tub was cracked on the bottom. The balcony needed to be powerwashed. Mold on the railings and the screen was broken.
Review 28:The room was nice. Spa room with a balcony was a big plus. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was above average. The waffles were delicious. Enjoyed our stay.
Review 29:Breakfast buffet menu didn't vary during a 3 night stay. Each day eggs were like rubber and sausage undercooked. Fresh fruit was very good. Kitchen staff very friendly.
Review 30:Loved the location and great front desk staff. Very helpful and excellent suggestions for dining options.
Review 31:The room was a nice size and very comfortable. We liked the additional sink outside the bathroom. The decor was very pretty. Nice location on the beach.
Review 32:breakfast and staff was great but it was very crowded - the room wasn't big enough for the crowd.
Review 33:on the beautiful beach and very close to downtown Traverse City, would love to stay there again.
Review 34:I would have liked to have been on second floor...other than that I was totally pleased.
Review 35:The person checking me in was not only friendly...he was helpful with things going on in the area. In addition, I had an awesome waterfront view. I was nervous about staying in first floor but they made me feel comfortable...the free breakfast was also a nice addition...would definitely come back and recommend a friend
Review 36:When the air was running it was loud with a shaky noise. There was also some rattling noise coming from the wall near the table between the beds. A lot of free breakfast items to choose from but not the most flavorful.
Review 37:Clean, bed was comfortable, staff was friendly, loved the indoor pool (especially since it was cold and rainy during our stay) temp of pool and hot tub were good. Free coffee anytime in the lobby.
Review 38:We booked last minute so our ground floor room had a view of a dirt lot with construction vehicles and an old boat. No outside pool.
Review 39:It is great location in town. great beach access and plenty of outside tables and chairs right on the beach. Boat rentals just outside the beach side of the hotel. Great breakfast, although the dining room was very crowded, had to wait for a table to vacate, so go early. They have a nice indoor pool which is right off the lobby area.
Review 40:Water pressure in toilets was low. Needs fresh wallpaper and carpeting. Given the price, they should update.
Review 41:Location right on the beach from first floor room. Jet skis and boats available on premises.
Review 42:The rooms were clean and the breakfast was nice. Also there is great coffee and tea all day in the lobby. The staff were very friendly and they have bikes and tennis rackets everyone can use. I will definitely book again at this resort
Review 43:Sits right on the bay, but you can't see it from the lobby,pool, or most of the rooms. Bedding and wallpaper dating back to the 70's and 80's.
Review 44:My husband and I travelled to the area on motorcycle. When we arrived it has been raining, and we were allowed to park up front under cover for the bike to dry out. That was very much appreciated!
Review 45:Our room was at the front of the building and overlooked the pool roof. Rooms at the back of the building had a view of the bay and were more expensive, so it's a choice. All guests have access to the beach from the lowest level of the building. Except for breakfast, we had to drive to find food. The distance to downtown is walkable if you are a good walker. We were in the area to see the sights, so all in all, this was a good choice for us.
Review 46:I was traveling alone, there were very few guests at the hotel I was put on the Beach level through double doors, down too long hallways to the end of the hall. It was creepy. Poor management to put a woman alone there when hotel is FAR from full.
Review 47:They market the fireplace on their site, however, they don't use it during the spring and summer months to save on gas. We would like to see them have room service.
Review 48:We loved the location, easy to walk to downtown. Friendly Staff, clean rooms, nice pool, and hot tube in our room. Overall nice property
Review 49:A man knocked on our door, and entered with a key when I didn't get to the door fast enough and asked if he could power wash the balcony. I told him no. What if I wasn't there and came back to my room to find him there? Not cool.
Review 50:We would have liked and easy char or small couch in the room.
Review 51:Convenient to downtown but also beautiful views of the bay. Parking easy. Very clean rooms that are a little larger than average. Pool looked well maintained.
Review 52:Continental breakfast was better and had more selection than most. Beach was clean, pool area was beautiful and also clean, room was cleaner than I've ever seen, and staff was amazingly friendly and helpful! :)
Review 53:Was slightly disappointed that the room did not come with a coffee maker or refrigerator. I should have read the amenities list more closely. Thankfully I'd brought instant coffee and a microwave was available down the hall to heat water for that first cup of coffee in the morning. We happened to bring a small cooler which I would recommend if you want to keep snacks or drinks cool during your stay.
Review 54:Loved the location...walking distance to town, overlooked beautiful West Bay...Loved large, open foyer, large pool...Hot and Cold breakfast items were delicious...We were always greeted by staff upon our return to the hotel...Our room was spacious and nicely decorated. Too bad we weren't staying in warmer weather, the beach would be awesome place to spend day.
Review 55:Price was a bit higher then average around town, but can somewhat understand with the location right on the beach.
Review 56:Your average hotel room, but very clean. Beds were very comfortable. Staff provided a free mini-fridge upgrade to make our stay even more comfortable. Pool and Spa were an excellent way to relax after a long day.
Review 57:Jacked up prices for Valentine's Weekend/Comedy Festival
Review 58:Staff helped us find rooms that fit our needs - including a 2nd night when they were sold out
Review 59:This hotel was affordable & very close to the Winter Microbrew & Music Festival (which was a blast!) and they even provided a free shuttle to & from the festival. Two thumbs up!
Review 60:Balcony sliding door had broken lock (wood dowel for security--on 3rd floor, so maybe no issue?) Keyed deadbolt between rooms--certainly a security risk since lock is exposed to the neighboring room. As a single traveler, I notice these things.
Review 61:Staff were cheerful and courteous.
Review 62:Just wished there was a coffee pot in the room!
Review 63:The hotel was very clean, and the staff was super friendly. It's close to downtown, so an easy trip in for shopping and dining.
Review 64:Wish the hotel had a bar/restaurant. Coldest weekend of the year and even our room was cold! Had a hard time keeping it warm.
Review 65:Location great. Staff friendly and helpful. Free wifi. Nice pool/hot tub.
Review 66:We were in Traverse City for the micro brew festival and choose the hotel because of the location. The hotel was wonderful,the view of the bay fantastic, the staff friendly and very helpful. They offered a free shuttle to and from the event, which was greatly appreciated. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again. We had a wonderful stay.
Review 67:Had a beautiful room. Everybody all the way to maintenence workers were very nice. Want to come back there to propose to my girlfriend on the beach there.
Review 68:Very loud guests in the hall half the night. Yelling and banging around until about 230am. Sounded like young people drinking a little too much.
