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.

Very nice hotel. Beautiful views. Enjoyed time by the fire in the evening. Hotel was clean and staff checks with you daily via text to see how your stay is and if you need anything. Breakfast is the only small complaint…boring, bland options, but it was enough to get you going. It is delivered to your room so that is a plus. We would stay again.

Check-in was quick and efficient with friendly staff greeting upon arrival. The room was clean, bed comfortable and shower and amenities nice. The balcony with the view was great. They provide you with a breakfast/snack box daily which is very basic, think oatmeal, an orange and a drink box. I love that there was a microwave and refrigerator in the room as well.The only downside is the sound proof/insulation. I was up at night listening to a neighboring room guest snore, and being on the 3rd floor, there was a lot of noise above our room. Overall pleased with the hotel.
