Top Friendship Shell Hotel Reviews

Four Points by Sheraton Saginaw

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was friendly, everything was clean!"

Comfort Inn Bay City - Riverfront

10/10 Excellent

"Loved location! Restaurants within walking distance, great pool and comfortable beds"

Quality Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, comfortable bed, and helpful front desk worker."

Fairfield Inn & Suites Saginaw

10/10 Excellent

"Well appointed guest room and courteous breakfast staff. Were only there for a few hours and did not utilize facilities much"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Saginaw, MI

10/10 Excellent

"All Good!"

Bay Valley Resort, a Wyndham Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall, our stay was enjoyable. The facility is quite nice, the staff friendly and helpful, and cleanliness was very good. My only complaint is that our room had no hot water. Neither of us could shower in the morning because the water temperature was lukewarm at best - certainly not warm enough for showering, barely warm enough to even get cleaned up. I mentioned it to the front desk clerk at check out and she was apologetic but no alternative offered. So basically, tough luck, we’ll let maintenance know, hope you’ll give us a second chance in the future. Again, our experience was without issue, but the one thing that wasn’t acceptable left us with an unfavorable impression. I probably would return in the future; next time, I’ll check the hot water temp when I first check in and be more proactive if it’s not adequate. I would still recommend this place with that one caveat."

AmericInn by Wyndham Bay City

8/10 Good

"This property accepts pets for a fee. Pricing is reasonable. First impressions are not very good. Empty large parking lot. Run down looking. Large rolls of carpeting in the lobby. Very slow check in. Hot tub did not work. Breakfast was not very good. Good for an overnight stay while on the road with a pet but definitely not a place to stay for vacation"

Cute house on Saginaw Bay with hot tub on private beach.

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront property! The home was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. The location right on the lake was absolutely beautiful and made the experience even more special.The property was well-maintained and thoughtfully equipped with all the amenities we could have asked for. Everything was just as described, and we really appreciated how comfortable and welcoming the space felt.Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and relaxing getaway on the lake!"

Euclid Motel

8/10 Good

"Nice motel. No thrills, comfortable bed, clean, everything worked. Fair price for just needing a place to sleep."
