Mediocre
Stayed 2 nights. The room smelled musty, probably from the carpet. The bed was okay, but tlit was like the memory foam topper was covering a bad mattress.

They charge 45 for a pet. Our dog is a service dog. You’re not supposed to charge for a service dog. I paid the 45 with my debit card. When I looked at my online banking the hotel had charged me an extra hundred dollars, which is right out stealing!!!! I have called my bank and they are going to dispute it just a warning the people at that motel will steal the money right out of your pocket!

I was very impressed with the grand traverse motel, it was so much more than I expected. The room was large, very clean, and the property was very well kept. It was well centered where we could easily get downtown and enjoy the shopping and excellent restaurants. We definitely will plan a future vacation there.

Thought the decorations outside the motel for Halloween was very cute! We were pleasantly surprised with the large fridge and the small dining table in the room. Overall, a good place to stay for a night or two.

The staff at the Grand Traverse Motel were helpful and welcoming. My husband and I were traveling with our dogs and that always limits our options. This motel was just perfect for us. The pet fee was reasonable and the amenities for the dogs were great.

Roadside location meant moderate traffic noise, which lessened at night. The motel is a bit tired; bed was comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful.
