The room and the entire lobbying was impeccably clean and it smelled great!! The keyless entry was perfect! As well as the directions on how to open the door to the facility and to the room. I will highly recommend it to others visiting the area. Until next time....

This was my first experience with a front desk-free location. I was very pleased with how easy the process was. The room was spotless, well-appointed. I felt safe. Overall, a great stay.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Curb appeal was great, with convenient on-site parking and great view of Lake Michigan. However, contactless entry was flawed, as both another guest and I discovered. We each kept trying our provided codes, as the wording in the email with the codes was confusing. Finally got the front door open with my code, then tried the room code, which didn’t work. I called the help number from the Hotels.com app, which linked to the *previous* property manager, Kasa. Eventually sorted that out and got the number to the new property manager. Admittedly, my call was answered quickly and I was given a new door code that worked, but it was a 15-minute pain in the neck to sort all this out (felt really bad for the other guest, who didn’t get the size room he had booked for 4 people). The room itself was okay: clean, refillable rather than wasteful single-use toiletries, thick towels. However, despite having cupboards for dishware, none was provided, which seems ridiculous given there was a fridge and microwave. The large kitchen in the common area had some plasticware and paper plates, but c'mon...why no dishware in a kitchenette room?

Great hotel!

This hotel was extremely clean and comfortable. The virtual check-in was super easy & convenient. Great choice for staying in Traverse City.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was very clean and well maintained. The location was just outside of downtown Traverse and the view was pretty. Check in was a little confusing, but I'm not used to a code only system (no front desk). My main suggestion is that an instruction sheet on the 3 remote controls for the TV should be in the room. Luckily, I was able to reach someone on the phone, and they walked me through operating the TV. Also, the coffee station should be stocked with necessary items on the counter or at least have the cabinets/drawers labeled so items (cups/creamer/sugar) can be easily found. I did enjoy my and stay and would definitely stay here again.

Perfect!

A quick overnight trip. Bed was very comfortable, location was right on an all-purpose paved trail, and the hotel faced the water. There were even bikes to ride! Beautiful!

Excellent rate for a nice clean hotel

We travel to TC frequently and have stayed at a number of other properties. We were surprised by the rate being very affordable and the property being a great choice. Clean, quiet and dog friendly made it a perfect choice for our getaway night. Highly recommended if your considering a great rate and a great stay.

This hotel was spectacularly clean & comfortable. We had a little trouble getting in the door with the keypad at first but once we figured it out we never had a problem again. The bed was comfortable and the shower was great. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We were very pleased with the online check-in and check-out, and how communication was constant and never an issue, even though there wasn't anyone in the hotel. Great location and the hotel itself is very clean and nicely decorated. Would likely recommend it.

It was a great clean safe hotel (staying by myselft, I felt safe) The only addition would have been nightstands on both sides of the bed. I recently dislocated my shoulder so It was hard for me to have axcess . Other than that... great!

Good stay!

Great winter rates! Small facility so it was nice and quiet. Very clean, updated rooms and gathering area with video games, board games and tvs. First time I’ve stayed at a facility that has on line check in along with all communication but it worked well!
