Traverse City Air Show.
We went to Traverse City for the Cherry Festival Air show. We stayed at Bayshore Resort room 308. We were able to view the Air Show from our balcony.

I travel quite a bit and this hotel was the cleanest hotel I have stayed in quite some time. The housekeeping staff and management are to be commended.

Would stay here again. Originally, they did not honor my request for a king size bed; however, when their error was pointed out, the staff member offered us an upgrade as there were no other king sized bedrooms available. We ended up in a lovely beachside room. The sunsets were amazing.

We've stayed here three times and have enjoyed our stay each time. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are very clean, there is plenty of parking and it's right on the water. Tough to beat that combination.

Our stay was great. The beach was very nice. I do want to say that I did see a lot of people coming with coolers and bags with beach toys down the side of the hotel. They were using the private beach as there own and they were not staying there at the hotel. They were using the beach furniture and that made it had for the actual hotel guests to get a seat. I had a balcony on that side of the building and i would see them load back up and start hauling everything back to there cars.
