The hotel staff were wonderful. I felt like a guest from the time I arrived until I left. Even with terrible winter weather, the hotel floors stayed dry and clean. I’ll definitely stay again.
It was the nicest Comfort Inn I have ever been to and so many other hotels I’ve been to and paid so much more. We definitely will frequent this hotel if we get back up this way.
Quick check in. Room was clean. Little smaller than modern rooms. I thought I had a 2 queen room but bed were more of a double size. Good well lit parking. Better than average breakfast for this class of hotel. Waffles, mini waffles, sausage patties, and the normal other stuff. Check in staff was good. Morning staff super friendly. Lady in breakfast area made made everyone welcome with a personal “good morning”. Only thing wrong was age of room size. Good value.
I stayed at the Comfort Inn Bay City Riverfront during my time at the Hell’s Half Mile Film & Music Festival and it was a wonderful part of a wonderful experience in a truly beautiful (and fantastically ✨walkable✨) town. Special thanks and shout out to Kevin, Paige, Brian and Maggie for making this a wonderful stay.
Nice location near the river. Great value for the price. Easy parking. Spacious lobby and well equipped breakfast room. Courteous reception and quick checkin. Some maintenance underway in pool and elevator. Clean comfortable room with all expected amenities.
