Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Fun, Clean and Cozy!"
Overall score5.0/ 5
I chose this motel due to others leaving good reviews and they were correct. This motel was very clean, cute and just a fun place in a great location. I always prefer to spend my money at mom n pop businesses instead of big box businesses. Did not disappoint.

The cutest motel. Small but clean and comfortable. Lake Huron across the street and downtown a mile away.

Property description
Well kept and clean motel with many of the big chain amenities including attractive pricing, continental breakfast, picnic tables and grills, kids play area and front yard swings for watching the bay. Rooms are all on the main floor so no steps or walking, parking available right in front of the room. Across the street is the beach and volleyball courts and a great walking park. Our suites have full kitchens and kitchenettes, and there are rooms with two full double beds and other rooms with one queen bed each. All rooms are equipped with a refrigerator, microwave oven, cable TV and complimentary coffee and coffee pot. We are located close to restaurants including one right next to our property. Pizza and other fast foods and also the mall are all within walking distance, yet the location is very peaceful with the best view of Thunder Bay in town.

Testimonials:
"This is the first time I used your service and I was very satisfied with the software program. It was very user friendly and had so many different options you could use. There was a great selection of hotels to choose from. I have finalized my booking with Liz of Bay Park Hotel and have stopped all other biddings. Thank you again. It made my job a lot easier in finding a place to stay for the group!" J.W. - Monterey, CA
