A cute little stay. I was a little nervous when I made calls ahead because the woman at the front desk seemed extremely irritable and annoyed to speak to me, but I physically checked in late and the midnight guy was warm, kind, and thorough in explaining the property despite the late hour. Property is a nice beach front which I was looking for, with lots of chairs to use and beach towels easily available. Property was a cute little size and felt homey. The balcony was small but tidy, and overall the rooms and even out on the balcony felt very shielded from your neighbors for privacy. I barely heard anyone else while we stayed. Having a microwave and mini-fridge was such a nice touch too, and being near to attractions and regular places like grocery stores was so convenient. The included continental breakfast was awesome, the little dining room they have is cute and neat, and they had a nice little variety of simple bakery items, juice, milk, cereal, coffees and teas, hard-boiled eggs, oatmeal/parfait items, and a station to make your own waffles! Overall a lovely stay, highly recommend :)

The hotel is bright and clean. The staff was very pleasant. The location on the beach was perfect. We were on the first floor and we had a walkout patio down to the beach. The only annoying thing about that was the people constantly walking by our windows so we never felt we could have the curtains opened. The breakfast area was big and very bright, full of windows. I do have a complaint about the breakfast. It was all bread products. Anyone who can't eat bread or gluten will be very disappointed in the breakfast choices. Bacon and sausage would have been a welcomed addition so other people with limited diets could have had some food options. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay at Baywatch Resort. It was clean inside and out and the staff was friendly and helpful. The beach is well kept and had plenty of chairs. They also have beach toys that kids can use.We had one of the petite king rooms with a balcony. It is small, but all we needed. The view was spectacular! I had seen in other reviews that the shower could be slippery. They do have rubber shower mats available at the desk if you ask, so we did. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. We really enjoyed staying there and hope to return! The only downside is that the location isn't walkable to downtown or restaurants.

We had a wonderful stay at Baywatch Resort in Traverse City. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. Our lakefront room on the second floor offered stunning views and easy access to the beach via either the stairs or elevator. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious with excellent water pressure. We appreciated the many seating areas throughout the property, including beach chairs, patio seating, and other relaxing spots around the hotel. The beach was clean and easily walkable, with about a half mile of shoreline in each direction. While most attractions in Traverse City are about a 15-minute drive away, there are also a few restaurants and local spots within walking distance. The complimentary breakfast was a great bonus each morning, and the small lobby store was convenient for snacks and essentials. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back!

Absolutely disgusting room. The photos of this place make it seem like a full blown “resort”, but they need to remove resort from their name completely. When we first checked in, staff asked for a payment & scanned my card. The individual at the front desk said there was an error & asked for my card back. I told him to stand by while I checked my account, which showed the payment had processed. He told me he would have to go get his manager & will try running the payment again. I told him he was not scanning my card a 2nd time, & the error must be on their end. He finally stopped arguing with me in front of other guests. Walked outside after arriving, dead bugs EVERYWHERE. You can see more bugs than cement; Why would a resort not leaf blow the bugs away from walking/sitting areas every morning? Was enjoying a bonfire near the seating area & went to the restroom inside the lobby. They were out of paper towels, so we notified the front desk. Staff member Sam, told us we should just “go use the other one” … The room itself was not the cleanest, & they told us “cleaning is a specialty request”. The last night of our trip, while on the beach watching the sunset, we came back to a room COVERED in bugs. Front desk staff was very rude & sarcastic; gave us a new room, but insinuated WE caused the issue. There are plaques everywhere telling you about the bugs, we would never leave the door open to the back patio other than opening it to enter & immediately closing afterwards. Staff: Absolutely 0 stars, Most of these individuals should not be in hospitality. Breakfast: 1 star, Do not waste your time, just go get brunch elsewhere. NO protein options, strictly waffles, bagels, & very little fruit. Overall: 1 star, They could do SO much better.

My wife and I stayed for our anniversary and had a great time. The staff was helpful, the fitness room was clean and well equipped, our room was comfortable and the jacuzzi specifically was GREAT. Our view and walkout slider to the beach front was so convenient and made watching the sunrise easy. The beach was clean and had plenty of space to relax. Breakfast had the iconic waffle maker that worked great as well as a good selection of other breakfast foods/beverages.

I have enjoyed this hotel a couple of times now, it’s always super clean and staff are very friendly and accommodating. We got a late check out with no problems or charges. I called the front desk to ask for a wine bottle opener and they were at my door with it in hand almost as fast as I hung up the phone. Spa tubs are equipped with jet bubblers and very relaxing. Very impressed for such an affordable nightly rate!

We’ve stayed at Baywatch Resort multiple times over the years, and every single visit has been a great experience. That consistency is a big part of why we chose them to host our wedding guests this coming June—and so far, they’ve been absolutely wonderful to work with. The hotel is always spotless, which immediately puts you at ease. It’s clear that cleanliness and attention to detail are a priority here. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, making each stay feel comfortable and stress-free. The location is truly gorgeous and adds so much to the overall experience. It’s the kind of place that makes your trip feel special the moment you arrive. We especially want to recognize Duke Rosendahl, who has been an absolute gem throughout our wedding planning process. From our very first interaction, he has been kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful. He’s gone above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of for our hotel block, and has made what could be a stressful process feel easy and seamless. We feel completely confident that our guests are going to love their stay, thanks in large part to his care and attention. Overall, we are so impressed with this entire operation—from the sales manager to the day-to-day staff. It’s clear that this team truly cares about their guests and takes pride in what they do. We’re grateful to be working with them for such an important occasion and would highly recommend Baywatch Resort/Beach Haus to anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming, and well-run place to stay.

I cant wait to come back to The Baywatch Resort in the summer. Even when its iced over, its beautiful. When I checked in, Mikaila was awesome. She took her time...she visited with me. Recommended Bubbas Burgers for supper. Sent me a text to check on me after I went to the room. And I believe it was Michael that later checked to make sure my heat was working because Im from the South and not as tough as they are. It was. I feel like Ive known them for years. Wonder experience.

It was clean, quiet, front desk staff was very nice and helpful. They deliver breakfast to your room. We had to leave earlier than the times offered but they were willing to send breakfast at a convenient time for us
