The Inn at Bay Harbor Reviews

If you don't think this is a lovely place, then you've been hanging out with the Astors too long

The hotel is beautiful, the staff are amazingly friendly and knowledgeable, and the breakfast never disappoints. It's a diamond in a quarry.

Went for a wedding. Staff was charming. The food was great.

Great place to stay in the Petoskey area. This is a Marriott Autograph Collection resort. Right on Lake Michigan with beautiful views.

Greeted by a grand chandelier, we knew we had found a gem. Rooms were cozy, complete with has fireplaces. No complaints about the (free) breakfast-- when the buffet was closed we were given an ample budget on the full menu. Coffee was lackluster but I suppose that's to be expected. The hotel was under construction during our visit but it did not detract from the experience. Bathrooms were fully featured with nice shampoo, and they even gave us a toothbrush when one of us had forgotten his. Watdr pressure was solid and the shower stayed hot the whole time. The pool is outdoors, and the hot tub is closed during the weekdays. This situation left a little bit to be expected but we didn't book the hotel for the pool! The skiing voucher provided with the room was a great deal. As we left, we were greeted by friendly and helpful doormen. Overall I would recommend this hotel if you're planning on skiing at Nubs or Boyne, though the drive was a little far. Solid experience, would visit again.

If you are a guest at this hotel and are also hired to perform as a musician for a private function, plan on being mistreated by the staff. I've performed at venues across the country including the Grand Hotel, and never have I been treated so poorly at what should be considered a four or five star establishment.

I now understand why Marriott calls these hotels the autograph collection! Everything isn't just nice, but perfectly suited to its local. It looks and feels exactly as a Michigan lake side resort should. It's a masterpiece. The staff are all exceptional. Beyond anything is the food. Much to my surprise the restaurant in the hotel was specular! Dinner there was one of the better meals of my lifetime. We had the charcuterie board and lamb lollipops as appetizers, and I had the roasted chicken with Brussels sprout hash and marinated asparagus as my entree. It was all so good that describing it without being able to immediately consume it again will cause me physical pain. Our server the restaurant (Vintage Chophouse) went out of his way to ensure our evening was perfect. Yes everything here is expensive, but it is all worth it.

We love the Inn at Bay Harbor! The views are spectacular and the staff is very friendly and very helpful. Close to downtown shopping and restaurants.

Went to a staff development day at Sagamores. The food was good and the view was amazing.

I couldn t imagine a better place to enjoy the Petoskey Harbor Springs area. This is a real hotel. Everyone that works there treat you like family. It is a beautiful property with great restaurants and the professionalism of the staff is no better anywhere I have ever stayed.

WOW, incredible, walk the hotel go out back excellent views and facility.

We stay at this hotel yearly on Labor Day weekend. Always beautiful, well maintained, friendly and accommodating staff... the list could go on and on. Will always be our hotel of choice!

It's a beautiful setting, but that's about it. There's definitely room for improvement. The views are spectacular, and there's plenty of space, but most of the buildings need refurbishment. Also, there is no actual beachfront for Lake Michigan - what's available is extremely rocky. The restaurant service is extremely slow. We had to wait 10 minutes just to be greeted, another 40 minutes for our food, and it tasted so-so at best. It is nice that they let you use their bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards but there's several places around here to rent on your own. If you're looking for a true "Up North Michigan" experience, keep looking. If you want to spend a lot of money for a beautiful view and nothing more, this is your place.

Beautiful place, beautiful view and the staff is great!!!

I attended an outside wedding and the scenery was just beautiful.

We love it here. Best place in all of Michigan. We love the new renovations. Just beautiful.

Beautiful views (especially the sunset)

But can get a bit pricey.

Wouldn't go there if I had to costly, low caliber service, trying to be high caliber but broken down facility and very dirty behind the scenes.

Really LOVELY views! Great accommodations. We stayed in one of the cottages at crooked tree GC. Fall colors were spectacular. We'll be back.

Service was good. Room bad was leaking water. Fireplace didn t work. Wasn t comped anything for this. For as expensive as this was and sub par room get disappointed . They did switch us for the second night and that room was excellent.

Absolutely fabulous! Everything about the establishment is top notch and the staff stands at the highest level of commitment.

Attended a wedding at the Inn. They did a great job getting things setup for the wedding but when the weather changed and the wind picked up the staff was asking help from the attendees vs calling in help with their radios. As for the facilities everything was great.

Great service lot of good stuff. But the people next door are having the loudest most obnoxious sex ever. Apparently he is amazing.

I highly recommend this resort. Great staff and great views from the bayside rooms.

Great service, nice rooms, giant chess, amazing view, spa, hot tub, beach. This place is great.

This place is beautiful. We had dinner out on the patio with a spectacular view. Garrett was an amazing server and took very good care of us. Food was expensive for what it was...

Amazing views, beautiful little village. Not a pile to do during the winter. I was headed to Boyne mountain regardless, wife loved the spa!! Would recommend for a nice place up north to go visit. Cheap during the winter, I heard summer time can have a waiting list and come with a price. I can only imagine why, and can't wait to find out.

Beautiful inside and out, excellent service, incredible views, comfortable rooms, tons of things to do and an incredible atmosphere. Loved my stay.

Beautiful resort helpful staff gorgeous views of Lake Michigan.

Food looked good, but the onion soup & appetizers were too salty. Service was excellent

This is the best hotel in the area. If you have the means of staying here I highly recommend it.

The Inn at Bay Harbor is a nice place to stay, however, their housekeeping needs to be improved. The ceiling in the bathroom was all chipped & peeling, there was someone's hair on the tile in the bathroom and on the floor, and the shower curtain liner was stained. I mean come on ... it takes about 10 minutes & $10 to replace. At the prices we paid, I am sure they can afford to replace it.

Beautiful views and great food and shopping with pwtoaky and charlevoix nearby

Going downhill. Still good service/staff, but the property is looking more dated and run down, and the rooms appear to be hastily cleaned at best - dried urine all over the bathroom - gross!

Elegant hotel right on the lake. Great place for lunch.

We had dinner at Vintage. The food was great. The service was alright too. Note dinner doesn't start until 5:30.

Beautiful resort with an exceptionally polite staff and a few little surprises in the room that really topped off the experience.
We loved our room, it had a kitchen and lounge area with a stunning view of the lake. Great place to sit on the patio in the evenings sipping coco and recharge.

Incredible. I'll be coming back. The staff was friendly and helpful even when we went down multiple times for new keys, etc. The breakfast buffet is to die for as well. Our group had mutiple sized rooms and every single one felt luxurious regardless of the price/level. I'd highly recommend staying here for a wedding, anniversary, family trip or girls trip. Honestly you'll be blown away by it all.

Very peaceful place. People are helpful and friendly.

The Inn at Bay Harbor is the single best hotel I have been at, and it is, in my opinion, the best hotel in the Petowsky region. With a large pool, friendly staff, several great nearby restaurants, fantastic spa, and a simply well built campus, it is my favorite place to stay during the summer.

Checked out the new spa. It's beautiful. Enjoyed the Cabana bar. Great place overall.

Excellent views. Beautiful room. Lovely service. Will be planning to vacation here again!!!

Room very nice, service friendly had very good stay

Came here for my honeymoon and it was very nice! All the staff are very nice and can give you info on what to do in the area. The rooms are very nice. We had a full service kitchen, comfortable bed, big TV, wonderful, large shower, and a beautiful view of the lake with walk out balcony. They gave us complimentary anniversary turndown services for our honeymoon, which included several roses, swans made of towels, chocolates, and wine. The breakfast included in our price was amazing with many buffet options. The location is great for finding Petoskey stones and walking/biking trails. There were only a few downsides. First, the hotel dining was very expensive. Second, it seemed like we could hear a lot of the noise from the hallways. Luckily, we came when the hotel was not busy, so we didn't have much noise to deal with.

Prices are great for rooms when it is not peak tourism season! Great room!
