A real table (v counter)

Clean! Good light.

One slight negative is that there is no elevator. This was okay with us even though we were on the second floor, however it could be an issue for some travelers.

Location was PERFECT for what we needed. I did not try the breakfast because I had a full breakfast waiting for me at another venue. The coffee in the room was good with real half-and-half. The bedroom and bathroom were VERY clean and bright with nice decor. Room had a small refrigerator that actually worked. The cost of the room was relatively inexpensive (compared to others we looked at near by), which made it a good value for how nice it turned out to be.

I did not realize that front desk closed at ten-I did not get into town until 9.

Rooms were nicely updated. Clean. Staff friendly.

We really had no complaints. It was a great value.

This is a vintage motel with many great updates. The owners are very nice and friendly and very happy to help in any way. The room was updated with a new bathroom, a large screen tv. The grab and go breakfast had more options than any other we have seen! While there was not a hot breakfast, it had so many options!!! We were impressed. It is on the main street before getting to downtown so easy to get to all the places we wanted to go.

The prices of the hotels in Traverse are outrageous . I live in hotels basically cause I travel for work most the year. I’ve stayed in hotels with just as nice of rooms in a well known city for $85.00 -$100.00 . It’s extremely frustrating to see how high the prices are in Traverse. To be honest I wouldn’t recommend visiting here it’s nice but not that great. Plus there are pretty much no taxis and no Ubers so very very difficult to get around.

Pretty good location safe and quiet and the lake was right across the street , pretty friendly staff, rooms and everything were pretty good. Nothing fancy

Great location near everything. The Grab and Go was considerably better than most other hotels we have visited.

The only thing we didn’t like was the noise of the connecting rooms. I could hear and feel the conversations and vibrations of their movements.

We liked all the above. The room was very accessible to activities in which we participated. We liked that we could arrive late and still get registered although the procedure was not secure. A lock with a code would be a little better. We liked and used: cable tv, microwave,refrigerator, shower(bathroom), table, bed and area to hang clothes.

The staff were very pleasant. I appreciated the call after I checked out to tell me that I had forgotten some items in the refrigerator. It was too late to retrieve them (I was well on my way home to Chicago), but I still appreciated the call.

A bit noisy because of the location to the road. Could be cleaner, bathroom floor needed to moped, looked clean but found it was not when went to wipe up some water.

Staff very good, and present. Allowed to pick up breakfast items upon checking, (oatmeal, donuts, pop tarts, cookies, breakfast bars, fruit, cold bottles of juice/water, yogurt ALOT more).

Little outdated but otherwise great place.

Great little motel,quiet and comfy.

A little mis-leading regarding the location. The on-line ad said the location was 1000 feet from the water, which was true. Except you had to cross a very busy highway, and go through private property to get there. But overall ok place!!

Good value for the area!! Staff was friendly and helpful.

The WIFI was my only complaint. It was very spotty.

Traverse City is a tourist town and not for relaxing. It was very busy and took forever to get anywhere. When we needed some down time, we went back to the Grand Traverse Motel to relax and have quiet time.

I did have one unfriendly guy behind the counter when I went in late Tuesday night, everybody else was great.

When I made the reservation through the website I requested a bottom floor room. When we arrived, we were placed on the top floor. The parking lot is rather small and tight.

The room was quite comfortable and larger than we expected. We only stayed for 3 nights. Pet friendly! Walking distance to a few fast food restaurants and close proximity to downtown Traverse City.
