I truly enjoyed my stay at The Bay Inn Petoskey! My room was clean upon arrival and the temperature was comfortable. The only thing I would say is I was not expecting an air freshener to be sticking out of the air conditioning unit. you cannot beat the view across from the bay!!

Great cozy little older place. We liked it much better than the normal newer mega hotels that just feel cheap. Would definitely recommend if you want a cozy place with a great view of the bay. I enjoyed sitting on the porch drinking my tea (great tea selection) and taking in the nice views. Very relaxing.

I love The Bay Inn. I have stayed here multiple times over the last two years. It’s my go to property when I come to the area.. the rooms are beautiful. The beds are the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept on in a hotel. The staff is outstanding, very communicative and super sweet..

Fantastic stay at this B&B - 10/10. We can’t say enough good things about the inn and service. The room was quiet and clean and the breakfast was delicious. If you’re in the area, skip the hotels and stay here!

Clear communication and easy no-contact check in and out. Clean and comfortable. Check in and out were an hour later and earlier than other properties we stayed with. 3 and 11 would be better.

Beautiful view. Close to downtown. We left something valuable behind and called to inquire if they found it. Courtney did and shipped it to us and didn’t charge us. She sent above and beyond and we are grateful!!
