Nothing, no complaints at all.

I loved the authentic charm of this historic gem on the bay. The breakfast was great, and the service was excellent. I really appreciated the free bikes available for use. I would highly recommend staying here.

I recently stayed at a charming hotel in Petoskey for a quick getaway. The staff at Stafford's Bay View Inn were incredibly friendly and welcoming. After a chilly day of skiing, they lit the fireplace and made us tea at the bar to warm up. The location was perfect, with everything just a 5 to 10-minute drive away. The building itself, a classic old mansion turned into a small European-style hotel, was exactly as advertised. With a lovely view of the nearby bay, a comfortable veranda, and cute, classic rooms, it truly felt like a mini-Grand Hotel. But what really stood out was the outstanding hospitality from the operators, two sisters who made me feel like family. I felt welcomed and valued as a guest, more so than at larger chain hotels. The charm of the old elevator and creaking floors added to the uniqueness of the experience. I had a wonderful stay and can't wait to visit again!

Can recommend this hotel.

The hotel is beautifully located near the shore of the Bay, offering stunning views of Harbor Springs across the water. Our room with a private balcony was clean and had white linen tablecloths, adding attention to detail. The staff was exceptional, with excellent customer service, making us feel very welcomed. Breakfast was delicious with options of Michigan specialties and a beautiful view of the water in the background.

All was great, no improvements needed.

The lack of TVs in the room was a bit inconvenient, but they do have a TV and game room available. Additionally, the rain during our stay put a damper on some of our plans.

The staff at this charming European-style hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. Despite checking in late, we were still greeted with hot tea and managed to enjoy breakfast even though we were late. The location is breathtaking, especially during the winter when you can see big waves on the lake. The room was clean and extremely comfortable, with a stereo radio and a great shower.
