Seagull Bay Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful location within easy 5-10 minute walking distance to downtown Bayfield shops, restaurants, and the ferry to Madeline Island. We were there for peak fall leaves color. The view of the lake, the island, the small marina, the trees, and the sunrise from the cozy furniture on the deck outside our door was amazing. It is a motel, so there is the potential for noise from the vehicles that park outside the rooms, but it was a non-issue. Our stay was peaceful, pleasant, and perfect."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Bayfield

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Bayfield is during January, November, and December, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a budget-friendly trip, staying for at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to make the most of the area’s key landmarks and cultural attractions. Visitors can explore the scenic islands, enjoy the beautiful lake, stroll through lovely gardens, or engage in activities like kayaking and sailing. With family-friendly options, such as ferry rides and sledding, as well as opportunities to experience live music, Bayfield offers great value for money for those looking to immerse themselves in its rich history and vibrant culture.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Bayfield, consider exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com could keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a comparison tool available via the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're more likely to see the best options available and act quickly when prices drop.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so having some flexibility with your dates could help you save on your stay in a Bayfield hotel. If you're seeking a unique experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value.

  4. Consider your location: Opting for accommodation near major attractions or city centres can offer convenience, yet it often comes with a higher price tag. For those seeking more affordable options, it may be worthwhile to consider hotels in less central areas or surrounding neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to your planned destinations. You might also look into independent hotels located a bit further out, which are usually more likely to be affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
