Beds and pillows awsome. Very comfortable. Very quiet. The man at the desk helped us carry luggage in seeing that the snow was so bad and I had 2 small children. Staff were asking every day if there was anything we needed, and if we were enjoying our stay. Gave suggestions for things the kids could do.

Great Place
It was a quick overnight stay prior to flying out of TVC. Aside from a few cobwebs above the bed on the ceiling, everything was great and would highly recommend to others.

Evening staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. The overnight staff who replaced him was frumpy, no kindness and looked like he hated his life. Glad he was not the person who checked in guests I probably would have walked out the door.

Great views - Nice Price
We like this place in the off-season when we can afford it.
Still not a big fan of the breakfast box but I get it.
We go to Bubba's regardless.
Clean, easy to get in and out, and the people at the front desk are friendly. Great view of the bay.

Baywatch Resort is a wonderful, waterfront hotel with great views. I loved the short drive to the Leelanau Peninsula with all of the great wineries and the access to downtown Traverse City.
This is our third stay at this great property and we’ll definitely be going back.

If you want any sleep at all, do not stay here. Both nights we were awoken or kept awake by noise. It sounded like they were doing construction and moving furniture at all hours of the night. Loudest hotel we have ever stayed at. Would have been a nice hotel if not for all the disrespectful noise.
