Four of us stayed in the Family Suite with the 2 bedrooms and we loved it! Very clean and comfortable. The pool was great too - very clean and without the old chlorine stink of a lot of other hotel/motel pools. Close enough to downtown Traverse City to make it easy to get to. Very friendly and attentive staff. We'll definitely stay here again next time we're up this way.

Never again!

The couch looked like it was picked up from a flooded goodwill drop off station. The smell of the room was obviously covering dampness and a host of other miserable odors. They are nose blind and simply no longer able to discern. Front desk dude could not have cared less. He said yes carpets are old and they smell….. check the room before you accept .. it will not make a difference but at least you will know what you are in for.

Great location across from the bay with a public park for beach access, hotel has a pool but limited hours of operation closing at 8. Rooms were good for family of 5 but beds were not comfortable and the floors were filthy. Otherwise a decent place, but we will go elsewhere for our next visit.
Towels used to clean nasty floors.
Twice.
