The hotel was an amazing stay for my family! Traveling with 3 little children it was perfect. Thank you!

My only go-to choice in traverse city

This was easily the BEST resort in Traverse City. It has the largest beach area, spacious rooms, and super comfortable bedding items. Honestly it's rare to find bed that matches home standards. Also plenty of beach chairs.

Its ok

Honestly we stay in TC a lot! We have family in the area and a child that attends the college near by. So we have stayed at most the area hotels. This hotel isn't terrible. The location is great! But the rooms are defiantly outdated especially compared to most the other ones in the area. The floor layout of the building is by far the most confusing I've ever seen! The room however was a good size. But it did cost way more then we normally spend so I don't find this hotel worth the cost.

It was a small family trip everything went well it’s just the hotel needs some maintenance and needs to be more clean as far as the room and the sheets.

We come up for a Trevor city event every year, and this is where we always choose to stay! Love this place, the staff is always friendly and location is perfect. Rooms are very comfortable and the view is amazing.
Paula, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is older and could use some updates. But it was clean. Was concerned being right on a main drag, but was surprisingly quiet in our room. There is a barrier between the rooms and the road. View from patio was awesome. Got pics of a beautiful sunrise right out our door. Lots of baby ducks to make us smile as well.

The suite was very nice but dated! It was clean and quiet and the kids loved the pool. Needs some deep cleaning and updates but the staff is outstanding!
Colleen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Smelled old. AC was just portable units and did not keep the room cool enough. Pool area was nice. Beach and balcony both nice. Id consider staying again but hope they work on the AC and smell of old in the rooms.

You felt welcomed as soon as you entered thier building. Front desk very helpful and kind. After leaving another hotel due to the uncleanliness of theirs we were fortunate to find this gem. Simple, quiet and quaint, on the water. Will definately stay here again!!
