Top Friendship Shell Hotel Reviews

Cute house on Saginaw Bay with hot tub on private beach.

8/10 Good

"Great stay overall! The communication was clear, check in was easy, the home has a great lake view, and everything was spotless. I wish I could give 4.5 stars instead of 5. The main reason this stay did not receive a full five-star review was the bed. We only used the queen bed, so I can't speak to the day bed or bunk beds, but the queen bed was horribly uncomfortable."

Bay Valley Resort, a Wyndham Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was nice, room was spacious. Pool is no longer an outdoor/indoor pool like advertised, and the pool water and hot tub water smelled like it came from the pond outside, not enjoyable to sit in, came out smelling like mold. Bar/restaurant was nice and enjoyable with a live band and great food. Staff was very friendly."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Saginaw, MI
