Blue Water Beachfront Hotel
Fairview Beachfront Inn Therese from Fort Wayne stayed in July 2011

The 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.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Ernest from Oswego stayed in July 2011

Nice 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 everything

Fairview Beachfront Inn Rick from Lafayette stayed in July 2011

Room 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.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Karen from Columbus stayed in July 2011

The 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.

Fairview Beachfront Inn FRANK from CLINTON TWP stayed in July 2011

Perfect location, nice beach, clean rooms, helpful at desk. Little walk to indoor water park, beds need updating,no elevator. We did have a great time and loved the short walk to all the stores in town. Breakfast was in blg next door. We would go back again, just wouldn't want third floor. To hard to take all the luggage up.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Michael from Three Rivers stayed in June 2011

Every 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.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Robert from Iron Mountain stayed in June 2011

Rates were quite reasonable. However, pool and water park facilities not conveniently located and poorly maintained. Breakfast was off site at motel next door. A rather run of the mill facility overall explaining the low room rates.

Well for the money it was perfectly acceptable, staff was pleasant, room was clean, no real complaints besides the view from the beach but again it was much cheaper than hotels closer to downtown.

Blue Water Beachfront Hotel
Fairview Beachfront Inn Lynnette from Lapeer stayed in June 2011

We 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.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Sharon from Allenton stayed in August 2010

We 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!

Fairview Beachfront Inn Aaron from Little Canada stayed in August 2010

No 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!

I wish there was a very good between good and outstanding. That is what I would have chosen. The room was nicely decorated and clean. Both pool areas were also clean. Breakfast was good with a nice variety but going next door and waiting in line for 20 minutes was a little in convinent. Over all out stay was very nice. Thank you.

The rooms were great for the price. The views were beautiful that over looked Lake Huron. It was also nice to walk onto the beach right from the hotel. The water parks are for younger children, but older children will like the pools and the whirlpools.

The hotel was nice and fairly cheap, I was expecting the beach to be alot better and the 25ft breakfeast bar is not the best, the 25 ft is ALOT of counter space :) all in all I would definately stay again.

We had a child with us and the free ticket to Pirate Waterpark was excellent. The breakfast was outstanding due to variety of choices including protein (eggs). I was very delighted, cause I eat eggs every morning. The room was clean, it is an older building.

Fairview Beachfront Inn Mandy from Muskegon stayed in July 2010

The 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.
