"Customer service was excellent, rooms were great, very kid friendly hotel. My only criticism is the old, outdated, dirty rugs everywhere. It makes no sense to have carpet on a beach front property, it’s unhygienic. "
"This property has it's own beach with chairs already out. It's walkable to downtown Traverse City. It felt very clean and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub as well! "
"We stay here for the beach access! Night swims after a long day are hard to beach. The breakfast sent to your room is an amazing touch! This is the second time we’ve stayed here. Love this place and Sugar Beach as well."
