한눈에 보기: It's a classic 2.5-star motel with a great location, but you'll need to overlook some dated rooms and hit-or-miss housekeeping.
@explorer님의 리뷰: I stayed here during my Traverse City trip and it was exactly what I needed. The lobby was super cozy with a fireplace, and grabbing a coffee downstairs was so easy. My room was spotless, and the beds were incredibly comfortable for a good night's rest.

The hype
Great location across from the bay with friendly staff, but the property feels like an older motel that needs a deep clean.
Reality check
The bathrooms are the biggest pain point, with complaints of slow drains, rusty water, and moldy grout.
You're traveling with pets (dog-friendly for a $20 fee)
You plan to spend most of your time at the beach or exploring
You want a budget basecamp near Pirate's Cove and the State Park
청결 & 유지관리
4.5
Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Some rooms are spotless, while others have cobwebs, missing towels, and beds without sheets.
Bathroom hygiene: The biggest problem area. Multiple reports of hair in showers, mold on walls, rusty water, and slow drains.
Maintenance: Showing its age. Guests report peeling paint, water damage on ceilings, broken lamps, and missing door chain locks.
Linens & towels: Generally clean sheets, but some complaints of stained washcloths and lumpy pillows.
Odors & scents: Noticeable issues with marijuana and cigarette smoke smells, especially near exterior doors, plus occasional mustiness.

가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡The indoor pool is surprisingly deep, which is a rare find in modern budget motels.
💡The hotel is right next to Pirate's Cove Adventure Park, making it dangerously easy for kids to beg to go.
💡Some rooms have massive, luxurious spa bathtubs that feel out of place in a budget motel.
💡The front desk isn't always manned, especially during off-hours, so patience is required.
💡The parking lot can get tight when the hotel is fully booked during the summer Cherry Festival.
