A great option

Our stay at the Grand Traverse Motel was thoroughly enjoyable. Though the room was on the small side, it was very clean. The best thing about it was how well the air conditioning unit cooled the room during sleep hours. (This is consistently a problem at many other facilities.). The care for the motel is evident from the outside environment that is nicely decorated and the grounds are well cared for.

The young ladies that manage the property do a wonderful job. It’s very clean. The only problem is the lights that shine into the room are a bit too bright at night

The property was well kept and clean. The staff was courteous and prompt. And, the sign out front stated that imaginary friends stay free. That was a relief because we each have one.

They charge 45 for a pet. Our dog is a service dog. You’re not supposed to charge for a service dog. I paid the 45 with my debit card. When I looked at my online banking the hotel had charged me an extra hundred dollars, which is right out stealing!!!! I have called my bank and they are going to dispute it just a warning the people at that motel will steal the money right out of your pocket!
