Great Hotel in Traverse City with a Lake View!

Newer property it seems. Everything is so new and nice. Front desk girls were super nice and helpful. Walk out King room with lake view was awesome. Room was very clean. Bed was super comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

Great view!

First off, they offered rooms with two KING beds which is amazing when your man-sized teenagers have to share a bed! Everything was clean, staff were all very friendly, and the water view from the 4th (top) floor was amazing. The resort does have activities daily, though we were in town to visit family so didn't participate. The beach is lovely, we sat out there one evening to read and watch the sunset. I would recommend!
