Happy with this stay. Clean and friendly staff. Good free parking.
Pros:

Staff was great. Location is perfect if you want to take a ferry to Mackinac island. You can park at hotel and staff called the free shuttle to take us there and back to hotel for our day trip which saves us $15 ferry parking and hotel parking was free and they said it was fine to park there for the day.

Cons:

We asked for a quiet room and they put us on the first floor hallway to the pool which was t a quiet room so don’t stay first floor poolside if you prefer quiet.

Beautiful resort on the Bay
Pros:

This is an incredible resort on the Bay. The rooms were clean. I had requested a view of the Bay which was beautiful. The balcony was a nice size and the chairs/table clean for being outside. I went and sat in the hot tub which was also clean.
I would recommend this Resort to anyone.

Always a great experience
Pros:

It is always a pleasure to stay at the Bayshore Resort. Their old world Victorian decor is a nice change from the more sterile interiors of most of the the newer hotels. Their service is excellent (front desk, housekeeping and maintenance). Their beach is well-maintained and so is the pool and hot tub. They have a good selection of items for t breakfast. May I suggest a bayfront room. The views are always great, and you can watch the fireworks and the Air Shows right from the comfort of your private balcony.
