Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Front desk girl Shivali was very polite and helpful, property and rooms very clean, and nice size. New clean shower, easy parking, and excellent Traverse City location.. Rest of staff unfriendly not even a smile. A/C units are noisy, and steel steps are steep. A bit disconcerting was construction or contractor workers sitting in their vehicles everyday for hours just staring at the rooms, and at my wife when we arrived or left the room. Very odd but when I confronted a couple of them it stopped. Overall a good value I would say. Pete

The beds and pillows were horrible. The room we stayed in the bed had a big dip in the middle and the pillows were so broken down. They switched us to a different room and that bed looked like it was ready for a flight. The right side of the bed was higher than the left. The staff was amazing and tried to make it right. I think the mattresses need to be changed.

I was on first floor and carpeting felt damp and in need of a good shampoo or replacement. However, I loved the outside pool which was surrounded by flowers and greenery and was clean.

Adequate stay

Didn’t expect the outside entry doors which I usually try to avoid when traveling alone. For a smoke free hotel the marijuana smell was overwhelming in the parking lot. Breakfast was extremely minimal. But the desk clerk was very helpful and friendly and the price was right for my bydget.

Not the Greatest

Went to Traverse City for a couple of days. Didn’t want to spend a fortune so chose this hotel. It’s not horrible, it’s just REALLY dated. Staff was nice, breakfast is offered, pool is nice, location is ok. Rooms aren’t cleaned which is ok. I’m just tired of paying so much and getting the bare minimum. Not so sure I would recommend. I guess I’d pay more and get a newer hotel. Sorry HoJo
