Great views! Kind of liked the continental boxed breakfast delivered to the room, however wish there were more options for drinks, such as a bottle of water instead of OJ.

Looking forward to staying again!
Our stay at the Baywatch Resort was fantastic. The rooms were spotless clean. The staff were warm and welcoming. The jetted tubs were also superb. We have never been more relaxed in a hotel. We've decided that when we have extended business in Traverse City we'll be going to the Baywatch. Looking forward to staying again!
