I had a lovely stay at the hotel, located right on the beach with stunning views. The rooms were quite comfortable, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, I found the dining options to be a bit disappointing, especially the limited breakfast choices. Overall, it felt like a good value for the money, but it would have been great to have better dining options.

The hotel is located just outside downtown Traverse City, right on the shores of Grand Traverse Bay, making it an ideal spot for a vacation. The rooms offer great views and have a whirlpool jacuzzi, although they're a bit cramped since they're in the basement. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff and a free airport shuttle. However, while the breakfast included some tasty options, a bit more variety would have been nice.

The hotel offers a lovely beachfront experience with clean rooms and friendly staff. The location is fantastic, right by the beach, which is a huge plus. However, the dining options fell a bit short, especially during breakfast, and the pool area, while nice, could use a bit more attention. Overall, it's a good value for money, but there are a few areas that could use improvement.
