We've been BVI brunch goers for a very long time. The new owners have turned the meal from an experience to a disappointment. Classic old favorites have been replaced by the mundane...no better than a Comfort Inn. Smoked whitefish, tomato pudding, chicken livers...gone. Desserts used to be served in delightful "just a bite" format. Now they are large slabs of obviously food-service grade cakes. Chilled cherry soup...gloppy. Sticky buns are dry without nuts. Very sad. Clearly the end of an era.

We stopped in for one night on our way to Mackinac Island and were absolutely blown away by the accommodations and the service. Our room was gorgeous, the grounds and views are beautiful, and the staff is top notch. Hayden, Bobbie Jo, Corey, and Sydney provided such lovely service and were attentive to every detail. We can’t wait to return.

What a fantastic stay. We were in Michigan for a wedding and were lucky enough to book the Bay View Inn. The hotel is an historic gem from the elevator to the lovely lobby, it’s like being on a Hallmark movie set. The room was very nice and yes, a little dated but what would you expect? The service was excellent and friendly

This is a historic hotel, but very well maintained and managed. The room was simple but very comfortable. The staff are excellent. The breakfasts and dinners we had here were also very good.

Love this historic and beautiful hotel in Petoskey. Staff is five star and food in the restaurant is wonderful. We ate breakfast there every morning and had dinner one night. By the way, Tripadvisor description indicates breakfast is free; it is not. Only negative is the heavy traffic on highway in front of the hotel. It can sometimes take a couple of minutes to get out of the parking lot.

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.
