Great Place, for a weekend getaway!

We highly recommend Tawas Bay Beach resort. The staff were friendly, the pool/hot tub was clean. Rooms are a great size and we like the bay view. Only thing different I would change is the coffee they use in the lobby. Spring for a better coffee.

A $20 charge for checking in early despite the room being ready. Manager said the owners were in business to make money. Only 2 towels in room for 3 day stay. Worst breakfast I've ever seen. There were biscuits, bagels, a waffle machine & an orange for fruit plus coffee. Loud staff conversations from behind the checkin desk about their personal life. Unprofessional behavior. Windows were impossible to open more than 2 inches. It was a really sub par operation in all respects

The hotel is well-maintained, but the fitness room does not have any free weights or weight machines. Only has an old stationary bike and treadmill. Nice complimentary continental breakfast with very good waffles along with muffins and bagels.

The parking lot needed a lot of attention, mainly salt. It was awful! We love to go to East tawas but unfortunately nothing the winter again because of this.
