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.

Super cute property, the beach is nice. They clean the carpets with an industrial carpet cleaner daily which was nice. The pool and the hot tub were in good condition, it’s an older property but it’s nicely maintained and close to restaurants.
