The Baywatch Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I found the property to be well kept. Only issue I ran into was ice machine that ran out of ice."

Seasons Inn Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoy staying here. It started out for traveling through Traverse City, but now that I live here we sometimes go just for no reason but the quiet space. Its great that they are located next to Red Mesa, the bus pickup is right in front of the hotel which is great after driving all day. Oh, and in the summer you can walk right over to the local Putting course. They have go carts over there too. Don't forget it's across the street from the lake! The staff is very responsive and kind. You won't see them just resting on their laurels or picking their nose. These folks are busy keeping everything clean and fresh while still meeting everyone's needs promptly. I feel like I get the appropriate bang for my buck when I'm there."

Spark by Hilton Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was the typical more limited … nothing hot if that’s what you like. Supposedly serve coffee all day…however it was cold later in the day. They do have a microwave if you don’t mind that. Cheaper than most and clean. Nice pillows. They could use better mattresses but if just a night or two, it’s doable."

The Lakeview Hotel, Shanty Creek Resort

8/10 Good

"The property (and room especially) is quite outdated. But the grounds are beautiful, the staff was overall pleasant and helpful and the bed was comfortable. Food and beverage choices were good and the common area was great to relax after a long day. The room itself was spacious but I don’t know the last time the shower had a a good scrub… yuck!"
