It's the only hotel located in the downtown Petoskey area and you can literally walk everywhere. There are two restaurant/bars within the hotel. We enjoyed starting our days at the HO Rose restaurant for breakfast and mimosa. We finished each day at the Noggin located in the basement of the hotel. There are several options for rooms including ones with balconies. The views were amazing and we enjoyed being able to walk down by the water. There is even a "Perry House" that you can rent. I'm sure that is not cheap but looked really great. They did everything right with this hotel. We were treated like royalty and really enjoyed our stay. I would absolutely come back!! We weren't here long enough!! Petoskey is definitely gorgeous and I absolutely will be visiting again this summer. Just a note, there is no refrigerator or microwave in the rooms and the hotel is relatively noisy. It's old so the floors creak. If there is a wedding going on (which there was) the music can be heard on all floors. There were noise machines in the room to help with this but if you're sensitive to that you may want to stay elsewhere. It was so worth it because the experience can't be duplicated!

The front desk staff was very friendly and informative. The rooms are older, but very cute and functional. We enjoyed breakfast, but on one of the mornings, we had a host who kept saying there was a wait, but then let others walk in when the restaurant was nearly empty. We waited probably an hour for no reason, despite checking in with him multiple times. This was not ideal for our plan to get on the slopes. Other than that, we had an enjoyable stay.

Inn at Bay Harbor is amazing! Literally feels like heaven when I'm up there. Summers in Northern…read moreMichigan are truly magical. The Inn at Bay Harbor is located near Petoskey. The hotel is located in a village with dining, shops, real estate, and more. Ample parking, clean beaches, and amazing views of the Marina. The Inn at Bay Harbor has been a Marriott property for 22 years. As of 11/1, it will be a Boyne Resort. I don't think the change of ownership will impact the charm. If anything, it will improve things by being a Michigan based company. Love that this hotel has so many room variations - typical rooms to cottages. Outside of the Inn, there are home rentals through Bay Harbor's website too. This hotel is open year round and there is so much to do. Love high tea! Makes me feel like a princess while adulting. My husband and I plan to come up again this summer. Such a special place! Check out the bay harbor website for events if you're interested in their art festival, hot balloon festival, or any festive activities. They have so much going on! Definitely great for a romantic weekend or coming up with the family. The hotel isn't dog friendly but there are rentals that will allow dogs in the village.

The view was beautiful, looking across beautiful gardens and green lawn onto Lake Michigan. We stayed elsewhere, but were very happy we made the stop for lunch. Come for the atmosphere and stay for the food.

A long row on Adirondack chairs facing the Bay offers a beautiful view of the water--and inside is well-taken care of and filled with antiques. We learned the same family, the Stafford's, have run the hotel since the early 1960s, and it is obvious they have meticulously and lovingly cared for the hotel. Since we were only passing through Petoskey on a coastal road trip from the Upper Peninsula, we only stopped for lunch. Lunch ended up being Sunday Brunch. Normally, we are not buffet diners, but the Bay View Inn's brunch buffet was delicious and service friendly and attentive. We definitely would go back--but next time, also stay a few nights.

The lot was poorly plowed with that limo parked at the corner turn making it an obstacle to drive around. If I didn't have awd I would have been stuck the morning of checkout. The entrance to the building was not safe, the snow shoveling was half massed with a floor blower set to the side of the entry which was too low of a power to dry the inside entryway making the front desk area a slippery mess. The room had a sauna like shower with the heads calcified and floor tile in need of some cleaning. The front shower curtain had a blood or rust droplet on it. Dead cockroach on the ground. There was white crusty marks on both sides of the ottoman cushion and chair along with some froot loops residue. When brought up to the front desk was told that they couldn't refund us for our stay even though that's not even why we told them in the first place, no apologies. I recommend the Marriott up the hill, its newer, cleaner, more quiet, and cheaper

We normally don't spend a lot of time in the living area part of a suite, but here, the furniture was so comfortable that we lounged watching shows and eating charcuterie! The addition of an ottoman was key. Also, the long piece of furniture under the TV that held two open carry-ons was great! The back space with the bench swing and Adirondack chairs overlooking a pond was lovely. The bed and pillows were very comfortable (I usually have to ask for extra pillows, but didn't need to here). We appreciated the outlets on the bedside lamps. However, we struggled a little getting the temperature right without having the A/C blowing so loudly. It was hard to hear the TV or sleep with how loud the system was. The walk-in shower and shampoo products were nice. The staff was lovely. I would recommend staying here, but still found it pricey for $848.96 for 2 nights. I could stay in a place in NYC for that amount! Marriott, please be fair on pricing.
