The Best Western of Harbor Springs is AMAZING! The staff is friendly and will ensure you have everything you need for your stay and to make you comfortable. The hotel itself is SUPER clean, has awesome amenities such as a microwave, mini-fridge, pool, hot-tub and nice play set for kids. The breakfast is hearty with LOTS of choices to get you going for your fun filled day in northern Michigan. The hotel is located just minutes away from downtown Harbor Springs and Petoskey. Excellent place. ...

This place was amazing! The attention to detail at this place is immaculate! The hotel keeps it’s history and charm with the old feel, but is a modern hotel with everything you would need. We had an issue with our room that they were unable to fix at the time, so they gave us a new, nicer room without hesitation. The breakfast ambiance was relaxing and made you feel special. Coffee and water was refilled consistently. Food was great, views were great, outside patio was beautiful and peaceful....

A large, multi-story building with a green roof and white walls, surrounded by a well-maintained lawn and Adirondack chairs.

Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

We have known about Stafford's Bay View Inn from our trips "up north" over the 30 years but never stayed there. That was our mistake before but never again. The staff was friendly, charming and very accommodating. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The view of the bay was delightful and allowed us to enjoy the sunset and sunrise. We enjoyed the hotel library and the comfy leather chairs to catch up on some reading. Not having TVs in the rooms actually turned out to be a wonderful...

Terrace Inn and 1911 Restaurant

Bay View

10/10 Excellent

It is a 5 star because it was the perfect stay at a historic inn. The rooms and inn are over 100 years old so the mondern comforts are lacking. Minimual plug and small shower. However, it was quaint, the owners and staff were very pleasant, there is plenty of space to relax on the large patio, nice Terrace or in the Lobby. It was easy to imagine you were in a different time and place. If you want character - I highly recommend Petosky's Terrace Inn. Finally, the food at the 1911...

Crooked River Lodge

Alanson

10/10 Excellent

I wanted to introduce a guest of mine to Michigan. The Crooked River Lodge was the perfect place to do this. Situated on the Crooked River, the Lodge had nearby trails, a great indoor pool and jacuzzi, as well as a roaring fire in the fireplace and an outdoor fire pit as well. Very comfortable with nearby restaurants serving fresh perch and whitefish from Lake Michigan. I would definitely return for another visit. Carrine Etheridge Monroe MI

I travel a LOT. This hotel was impeccable. The staff is professional, the room was clean and well stocked and parking is easy. I liked being able to walk to dinner. The only downside was the limited dining options when I arrived (although it was between lunch and dinner). I will definitely be back! Hint- it’s a botiquín hotel so book directly their website- you can request a room upgrade when you arrive if available!

My stay was amazing? Amber went above and above to make sure I was comfortable and had everything that I would need for my stay. The rooms are spacious, the home is warm and inviting, there is no feeling of awkwardness, you actually feel like you are visiting a family member. The home and rooms are extremely clean and comfortable with all accessories that you would need at hand. The location is literally with in 2 walking "strolls" to downtown and marina where all the action is. I will...
