Upon check in, we were assigned to room 217. When we open the door to enter there was already people staying there! It was a shocking experience to say the least. We had to go back to the office ground floor carring our bags down stairs to the other end of the building from where we parked. By the time I got to the office I could barley breath due to having asthma. The beds have seen better days, also!

It was a great place to stay in Traverse City. We really didn’t hang out in our room much. We spent the majority of the time out and about.

Going to fall through the floor!!
When walking on the balconey/ cat walk to get to the room, its so soft, you feel as if you are going to fall through the floor. We booked through hotels .com, got put in the very back room, the brick wall was our veiw, the light did not come on outside till it was 10pm so you could not see your footing out side and then the light stayed on and lite up the room all night long. Very unhappy with our stay for 296.00 a night. Very very over priced!!!!

Stay somewhere else
Be right back sign upon check in. Waited 8 minutes for someone to attend desk. Guy in front had booked but told it was already full. Bathroom gross. Hearing/cooling non functional. Told at check in breakfast wasn’t delivered that day, so not sure we’d have anything though listed as amenity. There were some prepackaged stale muffins and snack bars… some yogurt gladly. Room falling apart. Highly disappointed. It’s clear people don’t want to work here. No one home at check out either.

When we checked in the staff was fine. The next morning when we went to have breakfast, the staff was ok but not overly helpful. There were no plates so you had to put a pancake or waffle in a bowl & there was no salt for the hard boiled eggs. The only yogurt choice was vanilla & the area was very congested. I suggest not even offering breakfast because it was not worth it at all. However, I guess they want to tout that as a perk because that is one of the main reasons I chose this location but I won't do that again.

Their sign says they are award winning but I found the property to feel tired and needing sprucing up. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean and shower with good hot water and pressure. It was nice to have microwave and small refer in room. But carpet was stained and furniture old. Also their “light continental “ breakfast was very light. One morning not much was offered due to not getting supplies in. I do not think I would stay there again.
