Good motel to stay at

The bathroom sink was a little sketchy, and the smoke alarm was missing a cover. Otherwise, it was an awesome place

Bayview Lakefront Motel review

Very unkempt; tv did not work properly; window a/c had gaps between room wall and a/c; floors were full of sand; was hesitant about the bedding, it looked unclean and thrown together, sniffed sheets and pillows but smelled ok; shower stall floor and stall and bathroom totally outdated, extremely small. Will never recommend or stay again. Seagull poop all over outside motel area.

The view

Was a great view of the lake, rooms are old school charm but efficient quiet walls, had issues at check-in & then was double charged but taken care with phone call to property. Price was great for the city & pet friendly

Desk clerk

Had trouble with the TV in the first room and the young lady at the front desk tried her best to fix it but was unable to so she moved us to a different room. She was very well mannered and friendly!!

There for a quick trip looking for a clean room but this wasn't it

2/10 Poor

Disgusting

Room was disgusting. Hairs on pillow, dust everywhere, and I can't describe the bathroom... Better to avoid this motel and maybe pay little extra to get better accomodation.

Went somewhere else

Room wasn't vacuumed. Had a weird smell. Just wasn't comfortable. A lot of pet hair from previous guest. Asked for a vacuum or to have the room vacuumed. Guy at front came & vacuumed. He was very nice & the only positive part of this reservation.
Angela, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Outdated

This motel, although inexpensive for the area, is outdated. It doesn't appear that any updates have been done since built. Our room was in the back building with an air conditioner that didn't work and a bed that would not be comfortable for more than one night.

8/10 Very good

No one at the front desk. You had to walk to the next hotel which us owned by the same family We were the only people staying in the whole building. The second day, another couple checked in and they gave them our room even though our stay with them wasn't over, yet.
Ali, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Definitely wouldn’t recommend this motel to anyone! No lightning at night and the guy that checked us in said that he was closing the office and then stated we’d have to walk to the Baymont if we needed anything, which essentially meant “Good luck, try not to die” pics display everything you need to know about their “premium” room.
Christine, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was dirty! Hair on shower walls, debris all over the carpet (clear evidence of not vacuumed), half used shampoos and conditioner as complementary soaps. The smell of septic fills the air outside. Single cup Coffee make available to use however no cupsor coffee to go with it. Overall an uncomfortable experience. Pros, the view from this property is top notch. Private beach.

2/10 Poor

I had a reservation booked and nobody was at the property (several attempts in the same day) 6/7/25 available for check in. I tried calling, and returned multiple times. Ended up having to book another hotel for myself and my dog.

Pool of water at end of bed told attendant he did come mop it up but the room had terrible musty smell bathroom was small and the shower install was not completely finished. The flooring warped - think there is a problem with air conditioner and it leaks and water sits on floor until reported

Jill, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

We had to wait for someone to check us in. When we got to the room it was still dirty. Came back later, Tv didn’t work . Room was discussing . Afraid to take my shoes off. Shower looked like something in a campground. Bed was comfortable, looks like they are trying to up date, but they should definitely wait till they are done. We were in room 10. Pretty scary, floors weren’t swept, spiders and cob webs in the bathroom! Young gentleman that checked us in was nice! Wouldn’t have stayed a second night if it was free!

10/10 Exceptional

This is a comfy and convenient place to stay in St. Ignace. Right on the beach with a nice firepit and a grassy area for the dog. Easy walk to Jose’s for dinner.

A pretty escape with some compromises

My girl and I took a family trip to explore the area. This was the cheapest we could find at the time, and it sort of lived up to its price-point. No problems at check-in, the staff are very friendly and accomodating. As soon as I walked into the room, I was blasted with humidity. They had not run the A/C to dehumidify the room. There was clearly mildew in the carpet, so I asked for a change of room, which the staff happily accomodated so that they could later rebook the room, as I found out. The second room was cleaner, but the bathroom had at least 3 spiders that didn't bother me. At least the microwave and mini-fridge worked. The bed sheets were clean and very comfprtable, but the bath towels were dirty before we even touched them. The view is really pretty and the place has its own fire ring you can use, but you have to buy your own wood. My last complaint is the angle of the drive-way, which is pretty common for many of the hotels/motels along the street. If you have a low-profile car, you have to come in at an angle to prevent scraping or else try the Quality Inn down the street.

We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed our stay at Bay View. Housekeeping staff did a nice job of tidying up the rooms each day. Loved the lake view and nice lounge chairs outside by the water. Comfy beds, clean place.
