Beautiful location on the water! The rooms are very comfortable, decorated nicely and quiet. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Big bathroom nice glass door shower. Towels were thick and comfy. We had a waterfront room with patio and king bed with couch. Breakfast was delivered to our room at our chosen timeframe. They have beach towels and beach chairs for guests. After swimming you can spray the sand off you with the outdoor hose. Definitely will stay here again!

I reserved this room in January and it required a deposit which wasn’t an issue. They charged my card for the remainder of the balance 2 days before even checking in although the reservation email indicating the balance would be charged during the stay. When I asked the receptionist about she did not answer me and kind of blew me off. They still asked for a credit card for “incidentals” even though they clearly had my CC information. She also only gave me 1 room key despite there being 2 guests on the reservation.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review with us! At our hotel, we kindly ask for a credit card at check-in as a security measure. It's important to mention that we only charge the remaining balance once the cancellation window has closed, so you can be assured there won't be any unexpected charges. As for the keys, don't hesitate to let us know if you need two - we're always happy to help! We truly hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again during your next visit to the lovely Traverse City area.

What a find! I’ve stayed at various places during visits to Traverse City, and they’ve mostly been great though my experience at the Baywatch Resort was nothing short of perfect. I was greeted warmly by Kyle, who handled check in (and follow up after I got settled in). In fact, each team member was amazing, helpful and polite. No issues with my stay, so I can’t speak to how any might have been handled but given my interactions with staff, I reckon that would have been done thoughtfully. Gorgeous fourth floor room, well-appointed and comfortable with a balcony (with two chairs and a table) overlooking Grand Traverse Bay. Minimal noise from other guests and from hallway. Super-clean. Bed was super-comfortable, adequate lighting plenty of outlets near bedside tables. Hallways are well-lit, clean and room door is secure with an extra flip security lock. Spacious bathroom features large walk in shower, more than adequate counter space and hairdryer. Microwave, good sized mini fridge with freezer. Great breakfast choices delivered to my room daily. In room coffee if that’s your jam, or fetch it from the lobby. Great location, lots of parking. Daily walks along the shore were a bonus! I’ll definitely return!
