With expensive views of Lake Michigan and a charming vibe of years gone by, the reasonably priced Bay Inn Petoskey is a solid choice for families who just need a clean, friendly place to rest between excursions. An outdoor patio area offers spectacular close-ups of Lake Michigan, and the rooms’ décor is quainter than your typical chain hotel. The attentive owners are longtime Petoskey residents who love to cater to special requests and making their guests feel right at home. No hot breakfast, but guests do receive coffee and breakfast bars in their welcome basket upon checking in.
