This is a nicer hotel that hugs the West Traverse Bay just outside of downtown, but still close enough via a pleasant walk (about 1 mile). If you are looking to enjoy downtown shopping, swimming/beach, and wine tasting in the Mission Peninsula, this is an ideal place to stay. Rooms and hotel are nicely understated, well-maintained, and up-to-date. All of... More

Sorry, Bayshore, you have an excellent location and a nice beach with nice views, but you're a bit shopworn. Your mattresses and decor need to be updated. Your prices seem to be mid-range which is a plus for cost conscious travelers. No restaurant on site (typical hotel style breakfast included) but there is a 24 hour diner across the extremely...

Spent the weekend at the Bayshore Resort in Traverse City with my daugher for a soccer tournament. Hotel is right on the beach; you can walk downtown for restaurants and entertainment. A biking/running trail that goes along the bayshore is right down a sidewalk from the hotel. The rooms are nice, make sure to ask for one that directly faces... More

My husband and I stayed at the Bayshore about 4 years ago and were pleased. We decided to go back and were extremely disappointed. We found a dirty, used washcloth in the shower and another one with toothpaste smeared on it hanging up for us to use. While neither of us have back problems, both of our backs hurt after... More

The Bayshore is in a great location, only a short distance to downtown Traverse City and located directly on the water. Every room has a balcony overlooking the west bay. The interior is decorated with a Victorian style, and is clean. There is a indoor pool and hot tub on the first floor, and a light breakfast is included each... More

Beautiful hotel right on the water with a very nice indoor pool if you choose to stay inside. Clean rooms. Nice continental breakfast. Great spot for a family.

While overall my stay (during the offseason) was acceptable, the essence of my review's title is that this hotel can not just rely on its great location and the great views from some of its rooms. To stay competitive, I would recommend a few upgrades. Positives: rooms facing the water have a great view and small private balcony (many rooms... More

A sign that said "Welcome, it's not the real season yet so we'll say hi and give you your key and get on with our office spring cleaning - nothing personal we treat all guests in the off-season this way. Please ask only yes or no questions."...would have explained the place. As far as I could tell there were only... More
