10/10 Exceptional

We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very tasty and the Inn's little touches (like the tea and coffee stations) were very much appreciated. The location is central to the town's amenities and close to Sleeping Bear Dunes. I would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay in Glen Arbor.
