Top Traverse City Beach Hotel Reviews

The Beach Haus Resort

8/10 Good

"Beds comfortable-pillows just ok, great shower water pressure, beach set-up w/ fire pit excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. View was spectacular!! Room was on exterior of building so had a lot of road noise. (The interior rooms are booked directly thru hotel.) They provided a noise machine that might help some people but was annoying to us."

Sugar Beach Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice large room, beautiful views from balcony, pool and hot tub were large and very well maintained. Box Breakfast was a new twist, I've had better more substantial breakfasts at other places, but it was adequate. I might suggest a different brand of OJ as it was poor. Only other ding I would give property is put an ice machine on the 3rd floor, as well as one one each wing of each floor. It's nuts to make the guest go from the 3rd floor, down to the 2nd floor then over to the south wing for ice, or worse - to the 1st floor in the laundry room. Would stay again if rate was appealing."

Grand Beach Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was awesome and room was clean. Can't say enough about the staff. Very helpful. Room 120 however was next to the icemaker in the lall and the door is not sound proofed so heard the ice machine being run all night long and people loudly talking in the hall. Don't get room 120 for sure. Amenities however were lacking. Pool was cold and uncomfortable for swimming in. Hot tub only has a ladder so orhopedically challenged people like myself can't get in and out easily. So I opted to not use it for safety sake. Steps to beach are also not easy for handicapped people either. So I was not able to sit on beach. If your just looking for place to sleep or can easily climb steps and ladders then maybe a good choice for you. For me not so much."

ParkShore Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay in a 3rd floor balcony room with lake view. The staff were friendly and helpful and the lounge/restaurant was a welcome addition. Our room was clean and comfortable."

The Baywatch Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed Our Stay. Neyemiah at the front desk was Awesome"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Traverse City, MI

8/10 Good

"Coffee at the breakfast area was mediocre and served in the small cups like in the room so kind of a let down. The bed was not comfortable however the room and bathroom were very well kept and clean and those 2 things were important. Overall a good experience but we wouldn't give 5 stars unless perfection. Thank you. 😊"

Blossom Hotel & Suites Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"It is a great place to stay. The room was very nice with comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It’s a short drive from downtown Traverse City."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect, right across from the Traverse City Bay. I rented a room with a jetted tub and fireplace. It was fantastic. The room was clean; however, there was some basic signs of wear & tear. Our comfort level was satisfied as the weather changed during our 3 day stay - air condition and or fireplace heat. Parking was very easy, and the hotel is located right next to a car wash so that I could wash off all the bugs from our 1200 mile travel. The staff was helpful and friendly. The free breakfast was very basic. But there are wonderful restaurants within walking distance. There is easy access to a walking or biking trail just behind the hotel. My dog & I enjoyed walking along this trail."

Pinestead Reef Resort
