My new fiance and I stayed in a full view spa room. It was so clean!!! Breakfast was good, the location was perfect! The desk staff was very helpful in recommending places to eat. No coffee in the room, but it was available 24hrs at the desk. Loved it so much we booked our next stay on the way out!

Loved this hotel! It was within walking distance to downtown, it had it's own beach area, and the staff were so friendly! Great continental breakfast as well. The decor was a tad bit dated, but overall, it was awesome.

Melissa (Sales) - John (Maintenance) Awesome people to work with, they are accommodating and helpful. Front Desk Manager needs to find a new job, rude, not accommodating in any way, anything asked of her was "No" She does not favor sporting groups. Facility is clean, the views are incredible. The breakfast needs some upgrades and was very average. Pool closes... More

Nice hotel, but the front desk day manager ruins anything good I could say about this hotel. She refused to accommodate any request and was rude to everyone who spoke to her. We had a block of over 20 rooms and she had an encounter with all of us at different times. She refused to give us 8 plastic spoons... More

The resort has a nice pool and hot tub, the room have recently been redecorated, new carpet, new tv's. The whole resort was very clean. Breakfast was nice, along with the traditional offers of cereal, coffee, rolls, fruit, yogurt,... More

The hotel and the staff were outstanding! Desk staff was great. Needed a new light bulb and it was changed within five minutes. Room was large and pristine. Lots of common area, very spacious and well-lit. 24-hour coffee. Breakfast some of best we've had. Great HBO and other channels. Well-maintained large exercise room and pool area.

Unbelievably rude staff, from the front desk to breakfast room. Hate hockey families? Well the five teams that just stayed at your hotel just dropped $5,000 at least. Show a little respect for that fact.

Great place to stay especially the jacuzzi suites! On Traverse Bay, close to downtown. Awesome indoor pool and spa. Quiet and clean. Nice spread for breakfast. I would stay here again. Highly recommended.

Each of the rooms were on a different floor. The rooms were all nicely decorated - this hotel has an "old fashioned" flavor. The room on the1st floor had... More
