it was great
Pros:

rooms, pool, hot tub, breakfast - everything was very nice

Cons:

the fact that there was no shuttle to Turtle Creek Casino as shown on their website. Not your fault by no means, but you should have the casino remove your name from their website.

A great option in Traverse City
Pros:

Great hotel right on the bay. The decor is like fancy 70's style, which I kind of liked. The resort was very clean and the staff was very friendly. I extended my stay because it is a great place.

Cannot beat the Bayshore
Pros:

Love the Bayshore after 25+ years of bi-annual visits. Not one grump in the Bayshore staff. We always reserve a full bayfront view room. The Bayshore itself
Is a tad dated but spotless w/not one sign of visible wear and tear. It is just a matter of taste in decor. The gratis breakfast is great. A shoutout to “Diane”, the attendant on duty for breakfast. A true “local” w/a vast knowledge of the area and willing to share tips. Clearly Diane enjoys her work while graciously looking after the needs of guests.
