This property is in a nice location. We checked in a little early and had to wait for clean towels. We noticed the coffee pot in the room had not been emptied or cleaned from prior guests. The refrigerator made a terrible vibrating sound. The staff were friendly and accomodating.

The remote for tv did not work, room had cobwebs, very noisy place, no ice machine on premises. Very thin blanket and sheet was dirty. Would never stay there again. Very overly priced $168 for two full beds, no queens at all. Was a dive..

Bathroom was very small for a heavyset person. But overall it was fine for a place to sleep in St Ignace. The price was right for a two night stay.

We checked in and then right back out. This hotel has not been updated in 40 years from the looks of it. The room was dirty and had broken lamp shades. There were dead bugs in the corners of the room. We asked for a refund and left.

First time I’ve ever refused to honor a hotel reservation. One bed (we had 2 rooms) had crumbs on the sheet, some kind of substance stuck on the shade, room next door had a gas grill right outside our room that was being used, etc. I believe this may now be popular for seasonal workers who rent by the month. The young man in the office was very kind and apologetic when giving us our cancellation. I thought I’d done due diligence prior to booking which brings me to my first ever public negative review.

Cheeky & Iconic

She’s a cheeky, last century motor court, but she still has charm, and her Huron-shore setting is hard to equal for the view. We enjoyed our stay…

The place is overpriced for what they offer. For about the same price you can stay at much higher rated hotels in the area. If you’re desperate for a place to stay for a night it’s fine. I was a college student looking to travel cheap so my standards were pretty low haha. The rooms bed sheet had lint, some hair, dirt. One bed just had a sheet tucked in on the sides not even a fitted sheet. The shower was dirtyish and the water temperatures were freezing cold and burning hot. The parking lot is also on a huge hill so any car even remotely close to the ground will scrape and it makes in hard to get in and out. Like I said my standards where pretty low so I stayed the full three nights I booked, but honestly, wish I had looked for something else since I didn’t even save much or any money. Guys at the front desk were nice enough.

nothing was as pictured or shared to believe. We checked in and found beds to seem un made- windows broken with tape on them/ bathroom shower floor from 1950 felt like could fall thru floor- smell was horrible/ floor had so many bugs/dirt/lint -unbelievable- behind head boards so much dust and mold- not healthy!!! Needs serious help- did not stay -left to find a safe/healthy place-- this was not it- felt like no one had cleaned or been in there for 50+ years/ would not recommend-safer to sleep in your vehicle!!!!!!!

Bayview Lakefront Motel review

Very unkempt; tv did not work properly; window a/c had gaps between room wall and a/c; floors were full of sand; was hesitant about the bedding, it looked unclean and thrown together, sniffed sheets and pillows but smelled ok; shower stall floor and stall and bathroom totally outdated, extremely small. Will never recommend or stay again. Seagull poop all over outside motel area.

Went somewhere else

Room wasn't vacuumed. Had a weird smell. Just wasn't comfortable. A lot of pet hair from previous guest. Asked for a vacuum or to have the room vacuumed. Guy at front came & vacuumed. He was very nice & the only positive part of this reservation.
