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.
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.
Wonderful stay at this hotel. The Inn Keeper, Patricia was wonderful. The room and beach area were both clean and very welcoming. Would definitely stay again.

Liked: Staff & service
Safe parking. Rooms could have been cleaner and updated. For the price it was adequate. Beach access very nice.
The front desk staff was superb. The room was very clean and partially updated. There was a hint of cigarette smoke in the room, but I suspect that was in the walls from many years ago. We wish there would have been a skinny table/desk instead of the short line ottoman. That would have been more useful. Maybe something to think about in future updates. The location was beautiful. It is right on the beach with outdoor furniture available to enjoy the relaxing sound of water . Breakfast was not great but we are not big breakfast eaters so it worked for us (single serve cereals, fruit, yogurt and a couple of hot options). Will definitely be back.
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.
