Everything was very clean and the staff was very attentive and courteous. Our only downside was Covid style bagged breakfast. Expected a breakfast in the warmers with scrambled eggs, meat, toast options.

Our room had a balcony view of East Traverse Bay which was wonderful to wake up to. Room was spacious, modern and comfortable. You are given a slip for breakfast choices which are packed in boxes and left in bag on your door. There were a variety of breakfast choices. No hot choices but 24 hour coffee or hot cocoa available off of lobby. Hotel staff communicated via texts to ask if there was anything we needed and gave us a wonderful reccommendation for steak restaurant. Will definitely return!

I arrived at 3 am to a very competent but not exceptionally friendly front desk staff. To top it off I had to go back out to my car to put a parking permit on my rearview mirror at 3 o’clock in the morning! I realize this is hotel policy, but what happened to the good old registration form asking for your plate number. Not a great start but that changed when I opened the door to my room. The property appears fairly new and well-maintained. My room reminded me of walking into someone’s home as opposed to a hotel room. Exceptional design, very clean, and bed pillows, and mattress that allowed me to get a few hours of great sleep.

Great little secret on the beach!
I love the jetted tub-it's exactly what you need after spending a day out in the cold Northern Michigan weather.

Very basic hotel, great front desk staff. Very friendly staff. Clean hotel, rooms were clean but in need of some minor repairs. The boxed breakfast is a great idea but could have some better options. We did enjoy that we didn’t have to go down to a room full of people in the morning for breakfast just wish there were better options to order from. Overall great stay for a quick overnight visit.
