Guests say this hotel's best feature is its prime location right on the beach. You'll enjoy gorgeous views of the lake. And you're also within walking distance to several restaurants. It's just a short drive into the downtown area. It's also a great base for visiting other Northern Michigan locations like Mackinac Island.
Guests say it's worth staying at this property just for the stunning views of East Grand Traverse Bay you're treated to each day. All rooms have a bay view and you'll find that waking up each morning to look across the water is something you don't want to miss.
This resort offers nice amenities like a clean and well-maintained exercise room. There's also an indoor pool and they offer a deck and lawn chairs for you to use. You'll also have the opportunity to relax in the Jacuzzi and sauna, which guests love.
Many guests feel that this resort is a bit outdated in the decor, furniture, and furnishings. Carpets are beginning to smell, ceilings are too low, and beds are worn and ready for replacement. Guests also say you may find ants and other bugs in and around the rooms.
There is no daily maid service at this hotel unless you pay an additional charge. Guests mention finding dirty dishes that had been put back in the cupboards, as well as trash from previous tenants underneath the beds. It doesn't appear that they do a thorough job of cleaning in between guest visits.
Be aware that this property is located on a busy, main road, so guests say you can expect to hear quite a bit of traffic noise. Earplugs may help to lessen the noise.
