We stayed in suite #7. The bedroom looked out over the street and the living room/kitchenette look out over the river. All rooms including the bathroom were nice size. This unit is on the ground floor so just beyond our patio was some beautiful foliage & the hot tub but if you want an unobstructed view of the river, the hotel's large deck is just past the patio. Our room was very clean and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The commons area was also quite nice. Breakfast each day was a warm breakfast casserole (sp?), fresh fruit, homemade breads/muffins, cereal, bagels...all very good. Bayside is right on the outskirts of town which is only a few blocks long so everything is within walking distance. We enjoyed our stay!

We stayed at the BaySide Inn this July and had a wonderful time! The rooms were nicely decorated, clean and spacious. We rented a waterfront suite with a nice big deck overlooking all the boats passing. I have to say that's where we spent a great deal of our time; soaking up the sun and people watching. We also took advatage of the pool they have at a hotel across the river that is run by the same owners. We had a very nice breakfast every morning and the staff went above and beyond for us.

We have stayed in Saugatuck before at a few different places that were OK, but the BaySide Inn is a place we will come back to whenever we visit Saugatuck. We highly reccomend staying at the BaySide Inn.

We stayed in Room Four for two nights and loved it! This was our first experience staying in somewhere other than a hotel. It took some getting used to the happy innkeeper since we prefer to be "anonymous" when traveling, but no one here was pushy and we were treated very respectfully. Our room had a small balcony overlooking the Kalamazoo and provided us with a nice, quiet spot. The room may have been small, but it was clean and served our purposes.

My only reason for not giving it an excellent rating is that during the day they pipe music into the back patio and rather loudly. Even with our windows shut and on the third floor, if you're not into Sinatra or Motown, it's difficult to take that power nap before dinner. But we will definitely be making this our place to stay in Saugatuck. It's within walking distance to everything and the ferry is two doors down.

We just returned from a trip to Saugatuck, and we stayed at the Bayside Inn. It is bright and clean, and its location is unrivaled. Our room was on the third floor, and we had a wonderful view of the harbor. The inn is located within walking distance of the shopping area, and during the peak season (we stayed off-peak), it would be in the middle of all of the harbor activity. We loved it and would stay there again. The only minor fault--you are served a mediocre continental breakfast, but luckily there is a good breakfast place across the street (Ida Red's Cottage).
