Cockroaches and No Refund.

We checked in at 4pm, and by 8pm after we had showered and ate dinner, we noticed the bathroom had cockroaches. We showed the manager after we packed our belongings. We were not offered an alternative room either. We had to leave and find a hotel 50+ minutes outside of Traverse City just to have a place to sleep that night. Manager assured a refund after we contact who we booked through (Hotels.com) and now we’re being refused a refund from Quality Inn.

Would stay again

When I checked out my overnight stay at previous week I told the front desk that I would prefer not to have a room where the stairwell is keep coming doors. It might be in two stays, I was on a 300 mile bike tour. At the end of the tour, I wanted a good nights rest and to be able to sleep. Alicia and trust desk pick a room for me, show me where it was at and lock it in for my return. The staff at this hotel is excellent! This particular room is actually handicap, accessible and newer fixtures than my previous room.

After a week, I am still trying to get satisfaction from our VERY subpar stay. The ceiling was raining from the above room. We were moved from a king room to a full-couldn’t even sleep with my husband. The manager is not handling the issue promptly.

Decent, comfortable; would stay again

Front desk Mike and Alicia both very friendly and helpful! Breakfast was ok. Scrambled eggs (chopped too fine). , link sausage, waffles, bagels , toast, 4 cereals. Good coffee. Cappuccino machine, but I already had my coffee when I discovered it. Juice machine. Apples were pretty beat up. Cook/ attendant should probably pay more attention to wiping off tables and trash inconsiderate guests left behind. Hotel fixtures are definitely old. Room basically clean, but corners could use attention. My tub bottom was delaminating where you would stand for a shower, and soft underfoot. Cracks in the material, so probably leaking to the floor below. Wasn’t comfortable with the idea of soaking in the tub as this area probably collects debris that can’t really be cleaned. Very nice fridge; was cold when I got there. Pool and hot tub nice temps, but could be a bit cleaner. Hotel definitely needs a refresh, but I will stay here again. Again, front desk is outstanding! Red Mesa Grille, walking distance, has great Mexican food and margaritas
