Inn at Bay Harbor, Autograph Collection

The Inn at Bay Harbor was the perfect mix of luxury, comfort, and winter charm. A fantastic winter retreat with excellent service, highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Pulling up to this resort felt like I was getting a stay at Disney's Grand Floridian. It's beautiful with flowers blooming at the entrance. Reception was welcoming and explained everything the property has to offer. We used our FNA (Free Night Award) to stay and as Marriott Titanium, we were offered either 1000 points, free breakfast or a $10 food credit. We used the bikes, free if you are willing to pedal, $25/hour for eBikes. Once we returned, we had s'mores by the campfire, packets are complimentary at the reception desk. We even found free laundry on our floor (2nd) that we were able to do, while enjoying our in-room fireplace and our robes. The view from our room was stunning and we could hear the crashing of the waves against the shore as we relaxed before bed. Pool is open (mid May, but only 45º outside) and heated. I saw folks in the pool and hot tub, while it's quite chilly outside, so it must be decently heated. There's hammocks and a human sized chess board on the grounds as well. As to the resort fee, I called ahead to find out how much it would be, since we got our room as an FNA. I was told the resort fee is usually 10% which is crazy! But for us it would be $10.30. I made a note and prepared to address whatever cost came up upon arrival. All for naught. We weren't charged a resort fee at all. Upon checkout, our bill was $0. Nothing charged. For reference it was a free night award with the Chase credit card and we are Titanium Elite. I would come again in a heartbeat.

This hotel is top-notch. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and delicious. The Vintage Chophouse also has delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. A short drive will take you to the charming town of Charlevoix to the south, or Petoskey to the north. I highly recommend getting a room with a view of the bay. It's beaufiul.

This is a beautiful resort. We were passing through for the night and looking to relax. Our room was excellent and clean. We enjoyed lounging in the chairs while enjoying a cocktail. The bonfire and s’more kit was an added treat in the evening. Glad we gave it a try and would come back.

Beautiful property on the bay. Great biking into Petosky and Harbor Springs. Lots of little kids in the summer!
