2-ply TP would be nice. In-room, or even on-floor, coffee would have been appreciated. There was no in-room temperature adjustment capability, no microwave, and no TV in the room. The room was quiet. The bed mattress was "hilly". There were sufficient bedside power outlets. The sitting area chairs were quite comfortable. Lighting was good. We enjoyed the jacuzzi tub was nice.

This historic property is beautifully restored/maintained. The staff is excellent and friendly, the spaces are charming and lovely. We had a third floor suite with a view of the bay and a comfortable king size bed. The charm of the inn includes the decorating, the food, the hospitality, the location, and even some quirkiness like the historic elevator. We loved it all.

Stafford's Bayview Inn is the only place my wife and I choose to stay at in Petoskey. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant has excellent food. The best-selling feature of the Inn is the elevator. My wife and I love it. Hold on when it starts. What a hoot!

This is a lovely, historical inn with some unique features. The staff is very warm and friendly, the restaurant serves a great breakfast and you have beautiful views of the lake from the back of the property. However, the inn could use a little updating in some areas. For example, the floors were extremely creaky to the point that just shifting your weight caused a loud creak! Overall, a very nice place to stay.
