The staff was nice and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable but there was a dampness that could have been better taken care of. We like that the Bayside is in town so we can walk to shop and eat.

This was typical of many hotels in the UP. It was clean and quiet. We were able to walk St Ignace easily.

Older property that needs some room updates. Clean and comfortable but seems to rely on the tourist location.

Ok

Efficient check-in. The room was clean and covered all of the basics. Wifi was spotty, but mostly on. No breakfast service. Great location on the water and walking distance to several shops and restaurants.

Great customer Service and Location!

Great location right across form the marina and walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and the ferry to Mac Island. We arrived super late after sailing across the lake and the staff made sure we could still check in even though their office was closed.

The desk staff was helpful. When our coffeemaker didn’t work, they brought a new one. One evening the hot water did not come on, but it did the next morning. In the bath there was a bottle of conditioner on the wall, and an empty space where I surmised a bottle of shampoo would go.

Location was good. Curtains did not keep light out. Bed needed a better mattress. Rust in bathroom areas. Sink fixture hard to turn on and off - needs to be replaced. Very small, thin towels.
