Seagull Bay - A Lakeside Motel

Personable staff, calm and relaxed and know how to treat customers. Its a small room but complete with everything necessary for a pleasant stay. Great view over the lake with a cute little covered veranda. Quiet, comfortable AC unit. Newly decorated, new carpet, clean bathroom. Extremely quiet and peaceful. This is the type of experience that makes a lasting memory because, unlike chain motels, it has a decent and unique character. There is no breakfast - one amenity we really appreciate when traveling. Still, the price reflects what you get and I'd recommend this cozy little motel.

We had a fantastic stay at the Sea Gull Motel! Our room was totally renovated and if we weren't the first new guests, it sure seemed that way. Spotless, modern, and thoughtfully stocked. The king bed was super comfy, and we were blown away by the stunning lake view right from our window. The staff at reception were kind and welcoming. We also loved the short walk to town—it takes you through a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Truly a gem and wish we could have stayed longer!

We loved the room and the view! We spent time each morning and evening on the deck watching boats on Lake Superior. The owners have done a fantastic job remodeling the room. The room had everything we needed and plenty of storage for our two night stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Seagull Bay to anyone visiting the Bayfield area!

Our renovated, lake-view room was chic + modern. It was a very nice space and had a nice view, when we woke up in the morning. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating, as we didn't arrive until late at night and needed a roll-away bed. They had it all set up and ready for us when we arrived! Would definitely recommend this stay when in Bayfield!

Very clean and attractive hotel. We loved the king kitchenette #17. It had a pretty view of Lake Superior from the big window, where we ate on the rainy days and a pretty view from the deck with table/ chairs where we ate on the sunny days We loved that it was quiet and had many trees and was also on the Brownstone trail, a 10 minute walk to the town harbor. Comfortable bed. We were disappointed that the AC didn't work. First we were told that it would be on in an hour, then that it would be on when they switched over all the units, but in reality it never worked. It was a bummer because we had wildfire smoke the first two days and didn't want to open the windows. We did like the ease of check in/ checkout.

Lovely little well kept motel. The rooms are small and simple but you're not coming to Bayfield to hangout in a hotel room. My only complaint is the pillows were flat and firm but that's personal preference. The mattress was also firm but I prefer a more firm mattress. There is a coffee maker, mini fridge, and microwave in the room. They also had coffee in the office that smelled really good but I didn't try any. The staff was very nice and helpful, they had a curling iron for my wife to borrow since she forgot hers (I'm not sure if it was the hotels or the lady at the desk was just really kind and let us borrow hers). They're also on the brownstone trail so you can walk to town along the coastline. Overall nice stay and I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

We enjoyed our stay in the Bay West Residence. It was comfortable except that our first day was unusually hot and the single AC unit couldn't reach the bedrooms even with box fans in the doors. Blackout curtains or blinds in all the bedrooms seem like an obvious missing amenity given how many hours of sunlight there are in Bayfield. I would not recommend staying here in summer with young kids unless you bring your own blackout curtains or they fix this. Some of the blinds were broken too. Kitchen had the basics except table salt, when I asked if they had any salt they said they didn't have any. It seemed like a missed opportunity to help us out.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was in great shape and most all very clean and everything worked as it should. Seagull Bay is a great place to stay with easy and close access to downtown Bayfield.||Email communication was highly automated as was the checkout and payment process.
