MBS International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

MBS International Airport sits isolated between the three cities it serves, Midland, Bay City and Saginaw, about ten miles from each: there is no real hotel hub near the terminal, so sleeping well means choosing whichever Saginaw area best suits your plans. The Tittabawassee Road commercial corridor, with the highest concentration of chain hotels, remains the most practical reference point for a single-night stay. Those attending a conference can stay at the Towne Centre, while those who prefer a more personal atmosphere and Saginaw's historic center will find the Montague Inn the only option in a period mansion.

Tittabawassee Road and Fashion Square

Neighbourhood · About 10-12 miles (16-19 km) from the airport, a 20-minute drive; no direct public transport.

Pros

The highest concentration of recent hotels in the area, with more price options
Just minutes from Fashion Square Mall for dinner or shopping
