Drywall debris everywhere, open ceiling and electrical panels, dangerous ice build up on walkways, no hot water. Should be closed until all work is completed. Just a depressing mess.

The hotel was under renovations, but our room was recently updated and felt clean and modern. Nothing fancy but a good price near lots of the Traverse Area attractions.

As a former CHOICE hotel Manager for Comfort Suites South in Grand Rapids, Mi., I was so impressed by the new management of this hotel. Their friendly, hospitable service, coupled with clean comfortable rooms, pool and exterior care shows they care for both for the CHOICE brand and their property. I was impressed and enjoyed my visit!

Great service!

We needed an early check-in and the owners went out of their way to make it happen. Even going so far as to call my cell phone when the room was ready rather than us just hanging out in our car. Wonderful service!

Newly remodeled hotel and very affordable rates.

We stay here while we were fishing in the area. The first room that we were given had an odor to it but we went to the front desk and they happily moved us a a much better room. Very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We ended up extending our stay for three days. This coming weekend they will be opening up an Asian restaurant in the hotel. They have done many updates to the hotel since we were there two years prior. The weekly rates are very affordable. We will be back again.
