When first arriving at Comfort Inn, I was a little taken aback because it was in the middle of a very busy street, with virtually no indication that it was a hotel. And upon first entry, it did look a little worn. But after arrival, the staff made up for everything. During our stay, the staff at the continental breakfast (Marcy?) was wonderful. So friendly, especially when we were staying more than one night and interacted again the next day. The continental breakfast was very good - 2 different waffle makers, scrambled eggs and sausage one morning and biscuits and gravy the next. The area was very clean and empty items eere replenished quickly. And on the second morning, we informed the front desk staff that there was an oder like sewer gas in our room. They not only immediately sent up their maintenance staff up to the room to take care of it, the front desk manager (hotel manager?) gave both my sister-in-law (in the next room) and I bonus Choice Reward points for our inconvenience. All in all, I would definitely stay here again. And there’s a Starbucks and a bakery right across the street!

Excellent stay

The staff were very kind throughout my short stay. The rooms were clean. The waffle maker has both strawberry and vanilla flavors which is very nice! There’s also a few restaurant options if you miss breakfast (6a-10a). Exiting the hotel is a bit tricky, but the people of Bay City are very sweet. 10/10

The property has allowed a large number of apparently non registered people on site to fill the parking lot and drink in the lobby and pool area. The carpets in the halls are very dirty and the rooms have a smell to them. For $200 I expected better! I learned my lesson. I won’t stay at a Comfort Inn again
