Nice clean room. King on 2nd floor , balcony walkout facing east Bay. Breakfast boxes you could pick delivered to your door at your specified time. I only wish there was a meatless option for egg wrap.

Baywatch Resort is a wonderful, waterfront hotel with great views. I loved the short drive to the Leelanau Peninsula with all of the great wineries and the access to downtown Traverse City. This is our third stay at this great property and we’ll definitely be going back.

If you want any sleep at all, do not stay here. Both nights we were awoken or kept awake by noise. It sounded like they were doing construction and moving furniture at all hours of the night. Loudest hotel we have ever stayed at. Would have been a nice hotel if not for all the disrespectful noise.
