Friendly Staff and Very clean
Staff are so friendly and helpful and check in via text to make sure you are satisfied. The room is spacious and all areas are very clean. Coffee is available in the lobby 24/7 which is great for an early riser. Bed was too firm for my back but all else was very good. Continental Breakfast is delivered to room for everyone at your chosen time.

Perfect location
Perfect location, great view and room. Service was excellent, first night we had quite a bit of noise after 11 pm, after calling the front desk they immediately addressed the issue. Great time here and will definitely return!
Best place I've stayed at in Traverse City! Check-in was quick & easy, hotel was very clean and well-kept, pool & hot tub were clean and warm. The staff there are phenomenal and complimentary coffee was amazing.

The customer was excellent! Genuinely friendly and funny, great sense of humor. The room itself could have used some sprucing, found a random sock under the coffee table. But the pool area and the staff were outstanding!!
