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.

2/10 Poor

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.

Great view!
Beautiful view from the balcony. Stayed 3 nights. Breakfast was delivered to our room. You had to fill out a order slip and drop it off in a basket at the front desk the night before. It was nothing special. It was stuff you heated up yourself in the room. After the first night, we opted for breakfast in town at the local coffee shop. Other than that, everything was great. Price was very reasonable.
