Hitting all the High Notes in Escanaba
“The Terrace Bay is the first choice in Escanaba. The hotel was recently remodeled and to great effect. Ask for water-facing rooms. You will wake up to the sunrise and the beautiful bay. The food program is outstanding, and the kitchen should be proud of what they’re doing.”
