"I was researching what to do to celebrate my 18th anniversary with my wife when I came across this hotel. My wife usually prefers to stay at places that are right on one of the Great Lakes so I was taking a gamble when I chose the Terrace Inn. After researching the area a little more I knew that she would love the hotel and the whole Bay View area. She was instantly impressed when we got into the area and fell in love with the hotel the second we pulled up. We have always shared a love of historical buildings and we absolutely adored everything about the Terrace Inn. This isn’t really a hotel to just camp out in your room so choosing the modest garden room with the two twin beds was no issue. It actually worked out great because I spent so many years on third shift that we’ve grown accustomed to sleeping in separate beds. The only small issue would be well, for someone who isn’t small. I’m 5’7” and the shower head was right at my head. I just ducked a little and it was fine. Keep that in mind if you are booking 102 and are on the taller side. We never got a chance to eat dinner at the 1911 restaurant but we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. It was a wonderful experience having it out on the back deck. On our last night, we walked down the back stairs and down across the pedestrian bridge to the pier by the Bay View Private Beach to watch the sunset. Approaching the grand staircase of the Inn at dusk was picture perfect and a fitting end to our last night. I’ll add the photo I took to this review but it doesn’t do it justice. The only downside to our trip for me is that I don’t know how I’ll top it for our next anniversary. I guess we’ll just have to come back!"
