Skip it until refresh is done

The hotel is aptly named and the view of the bay is lovely when looking over the parked cars. While the beds were amazingly comfortable and the decor a nice touch the maintenance was not great. It’s clear the building is old with dated windows and ac unit. There was peeling paint in the bathroom and despite likely being average sized humans it sounded like we had giants overhead. Also keep in mind even on the main floor you will need to walk up steps. Also something I learned later (on me for not reading the captions) what I thought was a breakfast area or common area was in fact a separate house that could be rented. With a dedicated team of professionals I think this place has great potential but until replacements are made you’re in for road noise, a rattling ac unit, and peeling paint.

The smell of the room was awful!! It was a mix of a old dirty gym bag and cat urine. The decor was nice and bed was comfortable.

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.
