Disliked: Amenities
Superficially, it looked good after reviewing the details.It needed more work specifically.There is a telephone in the room, but it's not connected at all. The water faucet in the shower was completely reversed.Cold was hot hot was cold, there was one ice machine for the entire building, and it was empty.And I was told, tenants must have filled up their cooler.But when I walked past it, it was streaming water out of the ice compartment.So I believe it was broke. Also, this is the first time i've ever seen a pop machine with a label on it.That says waiting for deliveries plus other than two types of cheerios extremely limited food.

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!

This property was okay. Slightly not cared for, meaning, fridge not plugged in and when plugged in, made horrible noises. No knobs on dresser which is an easy fix and laminate on dresser coming off. Soap empty. No elevator.

The room had a strange smell. We bought air fresheners to try and mask it. The floor was tacky, probably just the cleaner they mop with in between stays. The second day we never could get hot water even after 15 minutes of letting it run. On the third day, the hot water did come on after 15 of running the the shower. We will never stay here again and we plan to travel to the area another 4 times in the next 8 months.

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.

It’s dirty the shower wall is broken and they just put putty on it we walked in and there was a man that pulled in stumbling around and drunk out of his mind. We paid for 2 queen beds and we got beds barely bigger than a twin size bed. Only half of the TV remote works the coffee maker is filthy. Everything is just gross

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.
