Top Traverse City Hotel Reviews

Boardwalk Suites & Residences By Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"This was a nice clean room - not all units have the kitchen and living room area, so be aware of that. Location was really great - just walked everywhere! A great place."

The Baywatch Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at this property 3 years ago and it had great views but that was a out it. This time around I booked it for a business gathering and was so pleasantly surprised to find a huge upgrade in everything from the cleanliness of the rooms to the fact that they now serve an actual breakfastwith hot and cold selections. The lakeside views remain as beautiful as ever and the staff is extremely efficient . Will definitely be back again and again!"

Great Wolf Lodge Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at! The breakfast is amazing, with many hot options, fresh fruit, bread, muffins, and more. The water park is wonderful, and there are plenty of additional activities for kids to enjoy besides the water park. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the hotel is well-maintained and clean. The only areas for improvement are the fitness center, as there are no weights, bars, or weight machines, and the parking fee, which is quite expensive. In my opinion, it doesn’t make sense to charge guests for parking when they are already paying to stay at the hotel."

Park Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The 5 stars are all about the location. The perfect spot to see Traverse City. There are a few negatives, the main elevator does not work so all guests must use the service elevator which is worn and the wait can seem like several minutes. The top floor restaurant has a beautiful view but because the main elevator is broken you have to either take the service elevator which opens into this old dirty kitchen area or the stairs which for a couple approaching 70 can be daunting. BUT as said, the location and friendly staff out trumped the poor perception of the elevator situation just be advised. Also the restaurant staff and offerings were off but with the location there are many other options."

"Front desk staff was very knowledgeable and help with answering questions about the area. Parking and check in was a breeze. Look forward to returning in the future."

The rooms are ample in size, and have good amenitites but the bathroom is dated. My only big complaint are the beds. Hard as rocks. I had a bad sleep. Breakfast was wonderful..they had everything. I would not likely return because of the beds.. if the beds were replaced i would absolutely return!"
