Will be back again and again

My husband and I were in Traverse City for a mini moon and only expected to stay one night. The hotel staff was so welcoming and everything was so awesome, we stayed a second night and will absolutely be back again and again. The restaurant on site was great, and this hotel had these softest fluffiest towels of any that I have seen.

Overpriced, dirty, smelly and unhelpful staff. Plus Expedia is charging us over $100 more than what they give the hotel. Discovered Expedia is not about finding the best rates, it’s about looking like they do

I've stayed several times over the past ten years. They've made some nice changes. I like having the Weber grills outside. We get the beach side room for the great views. The only thing I wish is that they'd offer the continental breakfast rather than the paid one in the summer. I'd like a simple juice, muffin in the morning as an option not a full meal I have to pay for. The hot tub was cloudy and pool had sand in it. Prices have climbed over the years but I still like the hotel and appreciate the happy hour in the bar and the food there is always good. Nice staff.
