Bayside is located within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and the ferry to take you to the island. The price for booking the hotel was cheap, and the hotel had discounts for many activities, restaurants, and for the ferry.

I always start with the positives: 1. The wifi was solid. 2. The room and common areas were clean. These areas need improvement: 1. The fan bearings were shot (noisy) on my room hvac unit. I heard similar noises from the hall unit. Mechanical upgrades are needed. 2. The pool area was closed. This should have be mentioned on the hotel listing because I was looking forward to a whirlpool. This last item is just an oddity. My room did not have a single chair, but one was delivered at my request. I'm on the fence whether I would stay here again

This location was not staffed. My bed a very “crispy” sheet. The bathroom floor was very dirty. The carpet throughout the room was gritty and damp. No coffee. No coffee or breakfast room. Check in was as a neighbor hotel. No record that I had a fully prepaid reservation. Had to pay again and wait for a refund.

Great hotel at a great price!
Outstanding stay! This is the second weekend in a row staying here, and Bayside does not disappoint. Very clean, comfortable beds, nice hot showers and a great water park/pool/hot tub. Will definitely be staying here again (tonight in fact) on my way through Mackinaw City to and from Michigan Tech.

I understand that we stayed during the winter when the city is a ghost town, but it was like the staff have not walked the halls of the hotel since the tourist season ended. Our room had trash on the bathroom counter and floor. The desk clerk claimed the heat was on in the room during check in, it was not on when we arrived to the room. Shortly after arriving we walked to the water park, which was like a maze that you could easily get lost in. The three flights of stairs to the pool/water park area were completely dark with no lighting at all, guests had to use their flashlights. There was trash, and dirty linen on every floor of the hallways. The front desk clerk even reported that she has never walked the floor plan and was not able to give us direction when we checked in. Our room was right next to what seemed like a pump room, you could hear the pump running every few minutes and a loud fan running constantly. I would highly recommend the staff be more attentive to their building.
