Comfort Inn Bay City - Riverfront
Comfy and clean beds. Decent tv and nice bathroom. Water pressure and AC worked well! Only thing that could have went better was parking lot was full after we got back to our room at 10pm. Had to park on side of hotel.

Four Points by Sheraton Saginaw
Outdoor pool looks like it's getting taken out (covered in sand). But, it's April in Michigan, did not expect it to open. Small issue with our first room(smelled like cigarettes and commode was not clean), staff changed us to a different room right away. Lobby was very clean
