The hype
Great location across from the bay with friendly staff, but the property feels like an older motel that needs a deep clean.

人々が愛する理由
- Steps away from Traverse City State Park beach
- Heated indoor pool and hot tub
- Free breakfast and all-day coffee in the lobby
クイックテイク: 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.
@explorer によるレビュー: 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.

行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと
💡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.
