Truly the only criticism that we had was that the room could’ve used an area rug for a warmer feel and to soften the sounds. Checking in was easy breezy and very pleasant. Overall, a lovely accommodation that I’d enjoy again.

Great Location, Clean, but could use more updates

Great location! Can’t beat the view of the lake. The room was small but clean. The bathroom needed some updates (a toilet seat that wasn’t permanently scoured would make the room feel 10x better). The breakfast was ok but the seating was minimal and cramped. Great place to stay in Traverse City on a budget.

The front desk was friendly and helpful, the person who checked us out was also pleasant. The outside area was very attractive with a pretty garden and colorful furniture- great beach vibe! We had a fabulous view, which could not have been beaten and considering the price we paid, we could not have been happier with the place. Would certainly go there again.
