I would 100% stay here again. The hotel itself is so charming and beautiful. The bay view is spectacular. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Location-wise, it is just 5min from Downtown Petoskey.

The property is aging and shows it but the staff was exceptional. They've done what they can to keep up the property and it was certainly clean but just old.

I’ve driven by with my family hundreds of times and always wondered what it was like inside and got the opportunity to see during a short ski trip. The hotel is a 140 year old gem that has an extremely friendly staff. I’ll be back again for sure.

Stafford Bayview Inn was very historical, & classy. The property goes back to 1886, which was cool. But on the other hand some technoligy could help. The elevator although very unique, & historical.was hard to use because of size & harsh moving parts!

Our rooms were quaint and clean. Staff was helpful and always working to make our stay wonderful. The dining room food was tasty, well presented, with helpful staff. We will be making our stay a yearly trip.
