Marv Herzog Hotel
The Marvo Hotel is well located, making it convenient for getting around the area and accessing nearby attractions. However, the stay was not as comfortable as expected.

Comfort Inn Bay City - Riverfront
Had to go to front desk for a tv guide none in the room I had to take pajamas off . Then I had to go down a second time to tell them the remote volume did not work and could not do any thing about it . For the price I will stay somewhere else next time when we stay in bay city .

Comfort Inn Birch Run - Frankenmuth
Stayed here for one night only, but they have done several updates and the room was great. Breakfast was good also. Close proximity to Frankenmuth and right near downtown Birch Run and all the shops! I’d definitely stay here again.
