Karen, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

I was on first floor and carpeting felt damp and in need of a good shampoo or replacement. However, I loved the outside pool which was surrounded by flowers and greenery and was clean.

Smoke detector beeping when
Noah, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Good location. Room door was wide open when we got there. Also room smelled of urine by the bed. Not overwhelming but noticeable. Bed was comfortable.

Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Rooms were very nice and clean. The included breakfast area was pretty standard, however the staff did not seem to be bothered to refill anything (including coffee). When I informed her the coffee was out she just continued to sit in her back room.
Jamie, 4-night trip

Highly refreshed with my stay.
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

For the price everything went wwll.
Brian, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The beds and pillows were horrible. The room we stayed in the bed had a big dip in the middle and the pillows were so broken down. They switched us to a different room and that bed looked like it was ready for a flight. The right side of the bed was higher than the left. The staff was amazing and tried to make it right. I think the mattresses need to be changed.
Deana, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Front desk girl Shivali was very polite and helpful, property and rooms very clean, and nice size. New clean shower, easy parking, and excellent Traverse City location.. Rest of staff unfriendly not even a smile. A/C units are noisy, and steel steps are steep. A bit disconcerting was construction or contractor workers sitting in their vehicles everyday for hours just staring at the rooms, and at my wife when we arrived or left the room. Very odd but when I confronted a couple of them it stopped. Overall a good value I would say. Pete
PETER, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Just ok. Room smelled of air freshener cover up of underlying odor. Shampoo dispenser in shower did not work. Bed was comfy
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

Very nice staff, great breakfast items. Clean rooms. Only complain was the fridge was broken and leaking the whole time. I called to let the staff know and to ask for ice.
Jacob Matthew, 2-night trip

Dated and could use some cleaning.
