Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Therese from Fort Wayne stayed in July 2011The Fairview Beachfront was very reasonable, clean, great view from our room, friendly staff, and they offer a nice hot breakfast. You get access to all three area waterparks which the kids loved. I would recommend this hotel.These comments are from a verified stay

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Ernest from Oswego stayed in July 2011Nice Overall stay. Breakfast required a bit of a hike next door and the food was not the best. Otherwise nice pools and nice views and clean rooms. That made up for everythingThese comments are from a verified stay107 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Rick from Lafayette stayed in July 2011Room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was bad! We ate there the first morning. We went elsewhere for breakfast the rest of our stay! Did not use the pool or water park so can't comment on that. We would probably stay there again.These comments are from a verified stay86 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars
Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Karen from Columbus stayed in July 2011The first night we got a courtside room and it had a terrible musty smell and wasn't the nicest. The next two nights we stayed in a beachfront room. It was very clean and nice wasn't modern but found that to be true and part of the charm of the entire area. I would sty here again.These comments are from a verified stay72 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn FRANK from CLINTON TWP stayed in July 2011Perfect location, nice beach, clean rooms, helpful at desk.

We would go back again, just wouldn't want third floor. To hard to take all the luggage up.These comments are from a verified stay82 people found this helpful.

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Michael from Three Rivers stayed in June 2011Every thing was excellent. The hotel shares a room for complementary breakfast with one next door. The girl at the desk did not make that clear to us where it was at. (unusual arrangement) I figured it out the 2nd morning. We enjoyed our little veranda with a view of the beach.These comments are from a verified stay95 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Robert from Iron Mountain stayed in June 2011Rates were quite reasonable. However, pool and water park facilities not conveniently located and poorly maintained. Breakfast was off site at motel next door.

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Lynnette from Lapeer stayed in June 2011We stayed 1 night, on June 9, 2011. They do not have elevators to take your luggage upstairs, so beware and request a first floor room if you are not capable of lugging stuff upstairs. We did have a beach front view and it was spectacular. Rooms were nice and updated in the not too distant past. My 6 year old son wanted to swim and use the splash pad. Some of the equipment on the splash pad was not working and the hot tub was "broken". We went to the pool, it was nice and warm (it was 52 degrees outside) and the hot tub there was "broken" Breakfast buffet was shared with the hotel next door. Food was good for a typical buffet, but there was plenty and the hot stuff was hot. Excellent value for a reasonable stay and the kids loved the water park and pool!! Overall very good. Grounds well kept and staff very friendly.These comments are from a verified stay124 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|5 out of 5 stars

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Sharon from Allenton stayed in August 2010We loved the hotel! Room was very clean and had a great view of the lake. Kids loved the water park, although the water was CHILLY! Was great that we could also use the water park at the other hotel (that I can't remember the name of right now). Had a great time, thought it was an exceptional value for the money, and we hope to return!These comments are from a verified stay117 people found this helpful.

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Aaron from Little Canada stayed in August 2010No complaints, no raves. It would be nice if there were more beach. Breakfast was just all right, crowded. It rained the night before but was a beautiful morning so we dried off our own table and chairs and ate outside, but most guests are too lazy to simply help themselves so they hovered around tables inside waiting for people to leave complaining the whole time. Room was very clean. The price was great!These comments are from a verified stay76 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Tara from Roseville stayed in August 2010The rooms were great for the price. The views were beautiful that over looked Lake Huron.

Blue Water Beachfront HotelFairview Beachfront Inn Mandy from Muskegon stayed in July 2010The price was great as well as the sprinkler park and the pool. It was nice to have access to the Comfort Inn's water park. The only downfall was lack of seating at breakfast. The breakfast was good, so I don't want to make it sound like the whole breakfast was bad. Overall it was a fun stay and a beautiful location on Lake Huron.These comments are from a verified stay118 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|4 out of 5 stars
