    Occasional dogs barking.

    Close to the beach and restaurants I will say the bathroom was a little dirty upon arrival and cigarette bits in garbage can so smelled a little.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Property was very clean, I loved how the rooms smell really good and were well organized. Showing how clean the rooms are. There wasn’t anything I didn’t like other than maybe not having a bigger trash can available, other than the bathroom trash, instead of having to leave it just there. I really felt really bad, and if there were trash bags I honestly didn’t see any.

    Room was really nice loved the two bedroom,

    Beware!!!! Creeper staff was completely unprofessional and confrontational. Only stayed one of the two nights we planned on staying. This dive refused to refund the 2nd night. Will be taking them to small claims court! Do your self a favor and avoid this place at all cost.

    This was a great place! It was clean, spacious and the staff was exceptional! The pool was clean and easily accessible. Everything was great!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I really liked having the extra space of a living room and small kitchen. I have some dietary restrictions that make it hard for me to find restaurants to eat out, so the small kitchen was very nice. I also liked that it sat right in front of a paved bike/walking path so that I could take a walk without being along the main road. I would definitely try to book this hotel again when I return to Traverse City. I really did not have any complaints other than I would have liked a few more towels in the room. It was a room for 4 people and I need 2 for myself so we needed to ask for more but they provided them readily.

    Nice lil affordable spot in a pricey town. We stayed two nights with 3 kids and was not disappointed. Bathroom was a little cozier than we would have liked but the shower had more water pressure than most fancy hotels and that’s a win

    It was across the street from the water and close to an event that we were in town for. Room was filthy and smelled horrible, with flies everywhere. My daughter found what looked like pubic har clippings on the bed spread and used Q tips in one of the closets. The fridge and bathroom were also dirty. My daughter did take pictures that we still have. We also have a video of the fly infestation that I am not uploading because my daughter is in the video.

    The room was very cozy and the bed was so comfortable! It was the perfect place to stay for the National Cherry Festival as it wasn't too far away. It was also nice how close this location is to Walgreens. I was able to walk there easily when needed.

    The location was good. And that is where it ends The staff gives our master keys at check in. Meaning the key to "your room" will open other rooms. Appliances did not work. The room had a strange odor, and the show/tub was so tiny my 12 year old barely fit. I felt unsafe at this property and checked out after one night to stay else where.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The inn staff were very helpful.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The pool wasn't scimmed the 2 days that we were there.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff at check in was very nice. Room for the most part was clean. The 2 bedrooms on separate floors were nice for 2 couples wanting a little extra space. Water pressure was amazing. Full kitchen and large fridge were nice. Pool looked clear and clean. Sheets in both rooms were not the cleanest. There was a small amount of what looked like dirt in the upstairs sheets and what looked like footprints on one of the pillow cases and orange stains on the sheets in the other. We were hoping they'd change the sheets outs the 3rd day, but they did not. The small table with folding leaves was nice, but it was placed in a weird spot at the bottom of the stairs which was a little dangerous at night without moving that and the chairs to somewhere else in the small living room. The upstairs loft could have used a little more in it to take up the very large space. Seemed very strange to just have a small chair facing the bed in a very large room. Maybe another table for the left side of the bed or a larger dresser to fill things out a little. Would have been nice to have something cover the skylight as it let a lot of light in the room during the day. One of the small dresser drawers was broken, but still functional.

    Location, pool, that it was a suite. It was very quiet. Everything worked. Bathroom a bit small. A little dated, but it is cared for.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Room needed some cosmetic repairs.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We love the upper floor room with the 2 beds. The floor plans was so perfect. And the pool was wonderful I wasn’t crazy about the softness of the bed upstairs. It felt like it was overhanging the frame.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Decent, safe and nice staff. Pool was clean, and close to everything.
