Marv Herzog Hotel
This quaint European themed hotel is a great place to stay. The staff was exceptionally courteous, the room and facilities were clean. I will return in the summer to enjoy their outdoor patio overlooking the river. The included breakfast was nice.

Comfort Inn Bay City - Riverfront
Room was disgusting. Smell being forced into bathroom vent was putrid!! Sheets dirty, bed dirty, i believe we found dried puke on night stand!! Had to ask for vacuum because floor was so bad upon check in. Definitely didn't want my family walking around on that.
