8/10 Good
"The room was very nice, but the bed was a tad uncomfortable for me. The TV remote wasn't user-friendly. Buttons were not functioning properly. Fridge was great sized! Laundry bag was a nice touch. Hotels.com noted check out at noon. Staff loudly knocked 11:10. Actual check out is 11. So, there's that. I would stay again if visiting Bay City, MI. Close to just about everything."
