Hot tub not working, no microwave in rooms. Staff was efficient and professional. Rooms were clean, but only cleaned every third day when you’re in the room. The beach was nice, but not much to do when the weather is bad.

New staff, a little rude, made all adults have to wear a wrist band with out explanation, was directed to use door D to find room. Door D was not labeled and two other staff did not know where to find door D. Spent an extra 15 minutes exploring doors on the side to property to figure out where to enter for our rooms.

I informed the front desk of a problem with the t v remote and a broken hair dryer on the first morning. Nothing was done to correct either during my stay. The check out clerk did give me a small discount for my trouble. The restaurant meal was excellent.

We showed up at 2pm and I asked the front desk (first person that I saw at the computer all the to the right side). The woman had a rude attitude for no reason at all. She told me that check-in time was at 4 pm so come back at 4. Then she checked in another couple 5 minutes later. As the day went on, I noticed her checking in many other folks. I came back at 4 and our room was still not ready. I waited around the lobby and watched other people get checked in. Our room was ready after 4:30.

The room was nice, but the door to the second floor stairway wouldn’t open with our key card, so we had to enter on the first floor, walk halfway across the hotel to get to another stairway, then walk back to the far end where our room was. That’s a long way to carry heavy bags. We mentioned it to three employees during our stay, and nothing was done. Also , I was told they were going to write my debit card info “on the back of a piece of paper” in case of incidental charges. I can’t believe, in 2025, there isn’t a safer way to store my personal information than scribbling it on a piece of paper. Other than these two issues, we did have a pleasant stay and would return.

Charged early check in fee. Definitely needs to be updated. No balcony or walk out to the beach rooms.

10/10

The city of East Tawas is a gem on the east coast of Michigan's Lower Peninsula - a quaint, lakeside community with a bustling downtown area. The Tawas Bay Beach Resort is located almost squarely in the center of town, right on the lake. The parking lot is spacious, and has plenty of room for handicapped guests (my wife is in a wheelchair). The lobby itself is inviting, open, and spacious, and all of the front desk employees I dealt with during my stay were not only pleasant and helpful, but friendly and conversational. Our room was very-well climate controlled, with a wall unit to set the temperature being very effective despite hot weather outside. The two queen beds were cushy, and there were fuzzy blankets in the drawers of the dresser/entertainment center in case the blankets and sheets provided with the beds weren't up to snuff. Our view looked out at the lake, facing south. The huge benefit to this is that, at no point during the day is the sun shining directly into the bedroom - morning comes softly, and evening leaves the same. It has swimming areas available not only on the beach itself, but also in an indoor pool, the enclosure of which houses a sauna and a hot tub as well. My family used the in-facility restaurant for our checkout breakfast, and all I have to say is that the breakfast gravy is amazing, and the skillet (on special that day) was perhaps the best breakfast skillet I have ever tasted. We vacation yearly - this IS a new regular destination for us.
