Less than impressive lodging.

The room was updated well for shower:bathroom, fridge, microwave & coffee. The decor was also refreshing. The code lock was also a great security tool. Sadly the floor was extremely dirty. When going barefoot, especially after a shower our feet got black. Had to wear shoes to keep feet clean. One of the foam mattresses sank it eas such poor quality, making sleeping uncomfortable & contributing to back pain the next morning. Small children also ran & jumped until midnight above us one night.

This is a great spot close to town and the water! The only thing that was really wrong with the property is there are two big rips in the bed sheets. The room is however super cute and cozy.

Nice view of Little Traverse Bay.

Older, updated, clean room with comfortable bed. The sink and shower were slow draining. Stairs were the only way to the second floor where our room was.

The decor was really cute and staff were helpful over text. Everything was clean. My only issue was hearing the room above ours very clearly. They do provide earplugs if you need them. We ended up playing white noise, which helped.
