Our stay was very relaxing and quiet! They provide multiple coupons at the front desk for things to do around town. The hotel is very close to downtown, we didn’t have to drive for anything except to cross the bridge!

It's dated, but clean and a good value. Located directly across the street from the ferry to Mackinac Island, it was the perfect place to stay after our day trip to the island.

The hotel was clean and good for families with pets. It is old and run down but that didn't matter to us and our 3 kids. The kids loved the water park and it is in walking distance to restaurants and shops.

Great hotel at a great price!

Outstanding stay! This is the second weekend in a row staying here, and Bayside does not disappoint. Very clean, comfortable beds, nice hot showers and a great water park/pool/hot tub. Will definitely be staying here again (tonight in fact) on my way through Mackinaw City to and from Michigan Tech.

Bayside is located within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and the ferry to take you to the island. The price for booking the hotel was cheap, and the hotel had discounts for many activities, restaurants, and for the ferry.

8/10 Very good

This place is very convenient for the ferry dock to Mackinac island. Our room was clean but a little small and the bed wasn’t comfortable. We like the water park access to the next door hotel. We didn’t like that it says with breakfast when booking at expedia but there is really no breakfast at this hotel. We were given a coupon for buy one get one breakfast at a nearby restaurant with limited options and overpriced food. We didn’t use the coupon and went somewhere else.
