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.

The owner has not put much attention into updating the property. The beds are 3 inch foam with a single layer mattress pad that doesn’t completely cover the whole mattress. The furniture looks like it came from a garage sale. The bathroom had new toilet and sink, the toilet seat was not screwed down and slid all around. We did not use the shower due to its stains & poor condition. The pictures online were very deceiving which I told the manager. The safety chain on the door did not have the latch and was useless. The TV was extremely hard to use. The air conditioner was very old and the management did not have it on before we got there. We had to wait outside a couple hours for the room to cool down before we could bear to stay in the room. The bed skirts were too big for beds and draped down all over the floor. It was very messy. We did not find any other rooms in the area so we stayed that first night and checked out in the morning. No one got much sleep. I don’t feel this is the managements fault because there is only 1 person to do everything. She is very nice and try’s but under the circumstances her hands are tied.

Checked in at 4:45 pm and room had not been cleaned. Had to leave for a while. Room was old, dirty carpet, furniture missing a handle, dripping stain on wall, no mini fridge, shower was awful with no place to put tiny bar of soap. Motel is right on the lake but the beach was covered in goose poop and smelled awful.
