Newly remodeled, very clean. Nice views and secluded beach. Desk help didn’t know much about the area ( how to get to the beach across the road, didn’t tell us about steps to get to the casino instead of having to walk on the steep road. Didn’t tell us that we could park in an adjacent parking lot as the lot around the hotel is small and fills up. She was very pleasant.)

The room was excellent, clean, comfortable with appealing decor. There was an outdoor area with the room with seating. We kept the sliding door open all night as there was a screen door. There is a path with steps that lead down to Lake Michigan. Ours was a quick overnight stop so we didn’t get down to the lake. We couldn’t see the lake from the room as the building is in the middle of a forest.

Property has been recently renovated, the rooms are beautiful, we had a view of the lake in the distance with an outside seating area. Linens and towels were amazing, with H2O products in the shower. One small concern is they do not have blow dryers in the room or available at the front desk, staff indicated they had been on order since March. They indicated they were short staffed and our room was not ready until after 5:00pm, but we enjoyed the back out door seating area with an amazing view.

We just left this morning after a 3 night stay. The hotel was in excellent condition. The rooms are beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had a 2nd floor balcony facing Grand Traverse Bay with stunning views.The staff was very kind. The only reason I'm giving this a 4 instead of a 5 rating is because: 1. Our Keurig was not working and not replaced. We were able to get delicious coffee in the lobby. 2. The wall device to hang our clothes on was broken off the wall and we had no place or hangers to hang our clothing. 3. We were unaware that the hotel does not automatically perform daily housekeeping. This is ok as we keep our room clean. However, a quick daily check by the staff to remove trash, replace used towels and replenish toilet paper would have been welcome.
