Ok for one night. Everything in line for what you pay. Breakfast is very basic. Did get a lot of traffic noise until later in the evening. Could smell the pool / hot tub chemicals in the common areas…little annoying. Bedding and linens comfortable. Good tv with a good list of channels.

I stayed there in the winter. It looked like the side door entrance had never been shoveled. Even when there are three "employees" sitting on the couch watching TV. Grab a shovel and a cup of salt and do something.

Stayed a couple nights for work and enjoyed my time here. It's quiet in the Winter, but I imagine they're busier in the Summer. If I need to stay in Tawas City again the Bay Inn will be my first choice.
