“I would rate this one even less”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

people found this review helpful

This hotel is a place to sleep at its best. Very pricey and staff unfriendly, persnickety comes to mind. If I'm paying more than $100 a night for my room, a smile from the staff should be required. I've been coming to this town for over 50 years and would recommend a variety of other places - definately not this resort!

“Perfect for our Desination Wedding”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011

My Husband and I renewed our vows on the Beach of the Tawas Bay Beach Resort in August. We had everything we needed. The staff was very helpful. There was another wedding just before ours, but it didn't interfere thanks to perfect timing by Jasmin and her staff. The beach was raked and so clean. They even took down the volleyball nets for us to ensure no volleyballs would be hitting our guests! We had several guests stay at the hotel from out of state. They thought the price was reasonable for that time of year and overall, enjoyed their stay. Bikini's Beach Bar was the biggest hit for them. I recommend anyone to the Tawas Bay Beach Resort for all of their wedding needs! Thank you for making our day so perfect!

“Wonderful Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

We stayed this weekend for the Triathlon. This is an absolutely wonder location. Beach out the back door, a block from town with the restaurants and shops. Hope to make it back soon

“Nasty, Disgusting, Don't Touch Anything”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

Does this hotel even have standards?

The room smelled like sweaty armpits. The rate was $150 a night and extremely overpriced.

The bed was uncomfortable, the pillows were bad. I felt gross touching anything in the room.

I was in town on a business trip. I was suppose to stay 4 nights, I checked out IMMEDIATELY.
