Booked this property thinking the accommodations was going to be better than they were because of the word resort I feel
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

To be completely transparent, I never realized the term “resort” could be used so loosely. I was a Disney Vacation Club member for 20 years, and when I think of a resort, I think of the accommodations at Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort and Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. Based on the price I paid, I expected something closer to that level of quality. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

I’m not saying this is a bad place to stay, but I do believe it is significantly overpriced for what it offers. It appears to be a former Days Inn, and I believe the old Days Inn room number placards are still on the doors. It felt much more like a renovated motel than a true resort.

On my first day, I contacted the front desk about several concerns. The biggest issue was the outdoor deck. I paid extra for a room with a deck, but it was completely unusable because it was covered in insects and spider webs. It was honestly unpleasant. I reported it immediately, and the front desk acknowledged they were aware of the issue and said they had already informed management. Despite that, nothing was ever done during my stay. No one attempted to clean the deck, so I ended up paying for an amenity I couldn’t use.

The boxed breakfast was average at best. The “fresh fruit” that was advertised was disappointing. The oranges were so soft and mushy that they were inedible, which did not meet my expectation of fresh fruit.

If this had been priced like a typical motel, I probably wouldn’t have been disappointed. However, it was priced as a resort, and in my opinion, it falls well short of what most travelers would reasonably expect from a property described and priced that way. I hope management addresses these issues because the property has potential, but at its current price point, it simply doesn’t deliver the value I expected.

Pros:

Beach was very clean along with the beach chairs. Hot tub and pool area clean. Room was comfortable and clean. Loved having our breakfast delivered each day!

Cons:

Our towel bar in the bathroom came apart when we took a towel off. I did report it to the front desk. Did not effect our stay.

Great easy stay with an awesome beachfront
Pros:

The location is great. The beachfront is very nice it’s easy to get to all of Traverse City and the airport from this hotel. The staff were very available and attentive and had everything we needed. The pool area and hot tub were very nice.

Cons:

The only negative is that the breakfast is done by delivering 1 of 5 guest selected boxes of food to your room rather than a buffet style breakfast. These were okay but offered no flexibility to those with dietary restrictions and isn’t as nice as real plates with flatware.

First and last time at this hotel
Pros:

The main advantage of the hotel is its location. Room was spacious

Cons:

It seems that that the management is trying to cut costs. Showe towel had big hole, mirror at bathroom worn out, no dining room for breakfast, got a box with some staff. Not very apetizing and arrived to our room 30 minute late and after repeated phones to front desk. There are 3 buildings but none has signs so we had to wander around in order to locate our.

Best complete package
Pros:

1. Best overall facilities and total experience over the course of our 7 day/6 venue trip. My wife's favorite place.
2. Balcony opened to the beach, which was only ~60 yds. to the water. Even had an excellent sunset view.
3. Staff seemed very well prepared and organized.
4. Solid accessibility options.
5. Full set of room amenities... even guest laundry.

Cons:

1. something out of their control: the construction and traffic on the main drag can make it difficult to exit -- especially when turning left (Eastbound).
2. minor point: breakfast options. While room delivery is nice, there's limited set of available options and that may not work well for young families.
