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.

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.

Awesome view,great pool hot tub, friendly staff,easy check in and out comfy units,could use some updating but very clean.
Donald, 2-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 resort is older but very clean. The location in town next to the lake is fantastic and the suite size is awesome. All of this makes for a a super value that is fair on the budget. We will be repeat customers.
