The staff was exceptional. We stayed 3 nights and had a great experience with Baywatch resort. If I had to give anything less than a 5 rating, it would be the breakfast options. We chose to get our own breakfast elsewhere.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Our hotel room was very clean. The staff was very nice as well. We stayed a total of 3 nights. The reason for 4 starts is because there were really no amenities. There were a couple of board games in the common area, but no pool or hot tub; during winter, or during a winter storm like we experienced, it was boring being stuck at the hotel. For the cost per night, I would’ve expected more. The view from the beachfront room was great so as long as you are there for the view and beach access during summer, I could see how the cost may be more justifiable.

This was probably the 6th or 7th time I’ve stayed here. The rooms are well maintained and the view of Lake Michigan is superb. I don’t care for the boxed breakfast but I love staying here.
