I had a good stay at this hotel, which is located right by the beach and close to a ton of fun activities like mini-golf and go-kart racing! The rooms gave off a cozy vibe, and the views weren't bad, although they overlooked the parking lot. The service was a bit hit or miss, especially regarding breakfast and some confusion with my incidentals. Overall, it's a decent place to stay if you're looking for a good location and a comfortable environment, but be prepared for some minor hiccups.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms had a homey feeling, providing a clean and comfortable space with nice pillows, but the view was toward the parking lot.

Service

6.0

The service was friendly, but I had issues with getting my incidentals refunded and breakfast service, which could definitely be improved.

Location

9.0

The location is fantastic, with direct access to the beach and close proximity to downtown Traverse City and attractions.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast here could use improvement - they ran out of hot options like eggs and sausage, and it lacked gluten-free choices.

Facilities

7.0

The facilities are good, especially the beach access, but there's an inconsistency in service that could use some attention.

I stayed at this hotel and really enjoyed the beach access and beautiful views. However, the noise from the nearby racetrack was disruptive, making my stay less comfortable than I had hoped. The rooms were decent but could use some updates. The staff was friendly, which added a nice touch to the experience, but the dining options left a bit to be desired.

The location was fantastic, right on the beach, but the noise from the racetrack next door was definitely a downside.

Dining

Breakfast options were a bit limited and not very filling, which was disappointing given my expectations.
