Verified review

Staff were great and helpful when I arrived. The room was clean, beds comfortable. Close to walking distance to shops. Only thing that was a nuisance. Was thin walls, you could hear footsteps above us. Throughout our stay. But didn’t interrupt my sleep. Will stay there again. I’m a traveler on a budget.

The location was great with easy access to the boardwalk. The room had plenty of space for 4 adults with luggage. The hair dryer did not work but we had our own so we forgot to let them know. I would definitely recommend this place.

The motel is located conveniently to the ferry for Mackinac Island. The rooms are very basic; similar to a Super 8. Basic continental breakfast. Free parking. Towels were thin.

Disappointed in how clean room was. Floor not vacuumed, countertops not clean. Shower was clean,updated, and nice. Location was great.

The hotel was well located and clean. The beds were comfortable and the staff very helpful. The continental breakfast was very skimpy, cereal and muffins. Otherwise, it is a good hotel to stay at because you can receive a free shuttle to the boats that take you to Mackanac Island.

Nice property. Newly renovated. Clean and organized. Met our very basic needs for just one night on our road trip.

We love St Ignace and this hotel. Great location. Very clean. Incredible value. Very nice staff. Very close to Shepler’s ferry. Mackinaw Grill (foil baked whitefish is best I’ve ever had) and the Blueberry breakfast restaurant. The “quiet” side so much different and better than Mackinaw City for us.

Good: The rooms were fine. Bed was comfortable. Good location in St. Ignace. Not so good: The windows looked straight into the parking lot and the curtains wouldn’t quite close completely. The air conditioning unit sounded like a jet engine, so we couldn’t use it at night. Staff was indifferent - neither rude nor welcoming. Just didn’t seem to care.

Room was clean but a bit dated. It was nothing fancy at all but it worked. We liked how close it was to some shops & restaurants. We were able to walk to get the Ferry although they do offer a shuttle.

The Bayside Inn is a great location and within walking distance of many businesses, including the Classic Doc for the Arnold Ferry to Mackinac Island. We were very happy with our stay; our room was clean for the most part, except for a few spots on the wall and ceiling that were dirty. I had seen another review saying the water in their shower was cold; when we stayed, the water heated quickly and stayed hot the entire time. There was a continental breakfast offered that included coffee, yogurt, muffins, bagels, juice, and cereal. Check in/out was seamless. I would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Exceptional

This is an older yet well maintained motel complex. Nothing fancy, but everything was satisfactory as I really needed just a place to lay my head before and after visiting Mackinac Island it was extremely convenient to one of the ferries it was within walking distance of several nice restaurants. I'm not even sure why they advertise a breakfast because it was hardly anything except for some cereal and small pastries. And no place to set otherwise well worth money.
