It was decent but uncomfortable.
The staff was nice, the view was good, the hotel and room was clean. The main problem I had was the bed. It was so uncomfortable I felt like my body was hit by baseball bats when I woke up and the bed squeaked every time you would move. The linens were also not very soft, they were scratchy.

Couple Getaway
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!

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.

Traver
Beds and pillows awsome. Very comfortable. Very quiet. The man at the desk helped us carry luggage in seeing that the snow was so bad and I had 2 small children. Staff were asking every day if there was anything we needed, and if we were enjoying our stay. Gave suggestions for things the kids could do.

Great Place
It was a quick overnight stay prior to flying out of TVC. Aside from a few cobwebs above the bed on the ceiling, everything was great and would highly recommend to others.

Great stay! We'll be back!!
We had a wonderful stay. Place was clean, bed was comfortable, and the person that checked us in was very pleasant. Close to plenty of restaurants and easy drive to whatever you are looking to do while in town.
