Upon arrival, I learned that my room was not ready....it was 4:30 PM. When I finally got into my room, I found a man's sock next to my bed. SO, I went down to the desk and requested another room. The woman informed me that it would be awhile. (it was a Tuesday night and there were only a dozen... more

The service was lousy, the owner was rude, the pool area had broken tiles with jagged edges, and the food was mediocre. The beach was nice, but you can get that anywhere in Tawas. Will never stay there again. more

We stopped here to dine outside. The tables, chairs, walls, ceiling COMPLETELY covered in dead bugs & spider webs. We had to stand & wait for a long time for someone to wipe off the table then stand & wait for a very long time for someone to clean off our chairs (which they didn't--still totally covered in dead bugs/webs).... more

I had a bad feeling about our trip to Tawas Bay Beach Resort after reading some of the previous negative reviews. I tried to put them out of my mind and hope for the best. Unfortunately, they were accurate and I was not all that pleased with our stay. Our room was a Bay-side, Non-smoking Jacuzzi King room. Nice enough,... more

While charging high nightly rates this place is worse than a cheap hotel. While on vacation to visit family we stayed 1 night here...thankfully it was only 1 night. There were broken air conditioners & A-coils lining the hallway. The hallway access doors had broken door knobs that just spun & wouldn't open. This was not just one but 2... more

We had a great time ! Rooms were exceptionally clean. We have stayed there when it was a holiday inn and poorly run. The new owners are putting money back in and it really shows. Love the location. Very close to downtown. Food was awesome. Looking forward to visiting again this summer and spending time on the beach and the... more

It's simply becoming a burden on the beach. This used to have a beautiful hotel (Holiday Inn)-- the nearby schools would rent it out for an evening and host Prom there, decorating the interior beautifully. Tourists would come from miles around to stay for an evening or two, and enjoy the romantic atmosphere of a pool overlooking the beach, or... more

We commend the staff and servers for the excellent seervice we had over the weekend. The rooms were clean and quiet. The food was very good and the entertainment was great. What else could you ask for. Plus it was an excellent value. more

We recently stayed here for one night while heading north. The restaurant food was good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location on the beach was delightful. However, it is an older hotel with corridors that twist and turn. The hotel would benefit from a renovation. It was also relatively expensive. more
