Pros:

The room was really cute and clean, and the staff were so helpful. We needed a corkscrew and it was brought to our room in no time. And when the pool and spa reopened our second day there we were the first to know! Also the view from our balcony looking out at Grand Traverse Bay was beautiful.

Cons:

It was very unfortunate that the first night we were there we weren't able to use the pool and hot tub. But it also is not the hotel's fault that a kid had an accident in there. We made up for it by using it as much as possible our second day!

Wonderful Staff, Beautiful Place
Pros:

We had a rough weekend, things did not go as planned. However, our stay at this hotel was the best part of our weekend. The hotel itself is very beautiful and romantic. They accommodated us when our sitter couldn’t watch our kids anymore with absolutely no issues whatsoever. The staff at the front desk were so sweet and welcoming. I felt like I was up there ten times and they were wonderful each time.
They have a very large and fun pool area. They have a very cozy, welcoming fire place. The beach access looks amazing, I would love to visit during the summer season. The room was clean and comfortable. Thank you for being the kind and stable part of our chaotic weekend!
