Our room was spotless, well arranged and had a comfort of home feel. Walk in shower was nice, but the open design (without door) leaves you chilled after showering. Otherwise excellent and I would come back.

we had an amazing beach view with a fireplace. breakfast was delicious. My only ask is for freshly made oatmeal as the instant is not as good. We were off season so that may be why. Otherwise the entire experience was just the best and the team was attentive and outstanding!

The location is absolutely amazing, with a stunning lake view right in front of you. Even if there were any minor issues with the stay, the kindness and friendliness of the staff made all complaints fade away. Breakfast was a bit disappointing since the menu was the same two days in a row. However, the unlimited cookies and coffee were a real highlight and truly wonderful. Thanks to that, we’re leaving with sweet memories. We’re already looking forward to coming back in the summer!

If i could give this hotel 2.5 stars i would have. Pros:Our room was nice, clean, and spacious. The hotel has a good location.
Cons: below average amenities. Pool is small. They advertise a game room, very lame. They advertise the "best breakfast" it was below average for any hotel

Room was clean. We wanted a basic room and got lucky to have a balcony looking over the bay. We only stayed one night so I don't have much to say. Breakfast hours were very short so unfortunately we missed breakfast. The room was very hot and we ended up turning the air on in the middle of January just to be comfortable. The indoor pool and hot tub was nice. Very quite hotel.

Had a lovely time, would stay here again. Complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate 24/7. Hot breakfast every morning. Nice large pool with a roomy hot tub. Even a little arcade room with some pinball machines. I felt like the room itself felt larger than other hotels I have stayed in. We came in late November, so didnt use the beach amenities, but a lovely stay to rest for a few days.

In the short term, the room, hall and elevator need a deep cleaning. In the longer term, the rooms need a refresh as carpet and furniture were worn.
The hotel does have a great location and great amenities.

Our stay at Cherry Tree was great. Staff was wonderful. Our room on the 4th floor was clean and quiet. Bed was clean and comfortable. The balcony overlooking the bay was a plus as the views were beautiful. My only negative was the carpet in our room could use a shampoo or replacement. Would definitely stay here again if we're in Traverse City, again.
