Looking forward to staying again!

Our stay at the Baywatch Resort was fantastic. The rooms were spotless clean. The staff were warm and welcoming. The jetted tubs were also superb. We have never been more relaxed in a hotel. We've decided that when we have extended business in Traverse City we'll be going to the Baywatch. Looking forward to staying again!

Staff was very friendly, room was very nice and the breakfast was good. Only complaint I would have is that it was a pretty noisy hotel as there is no carpet throughout the hotel. Staff did mention that carpet is one of the upgrades coming soon.

From the moment we arrived, every staff member we met was friendly and helpful. We found our room to be very clean and quiet (super important for us), nicely renovated with modern fixtures and furniture and a comfy bed. The room was also quite spacious including the bathroom with a lovely view of the lake (we had a king room with sofa and balcony). We would absolutely return and would especially enjoy visiting during a warmer season to be able to use the beach!

Comfy and cute

Loved our view and the bed was comfy! Cute idea about breakfast being delivered, but wish you could mix and match options to work around food allergies.
