The balcony view is what sold us on this hotel. It was across the street from Pirates Cove, and we planned to go there, so it was convenient. The rooms are nice and the beds are comfortable. To our surprise, there was a small old school arcade. The pool room is very warm, which makes it comfortable getting in and out of the pool.

The hot tub was closed right as we decided to go into the pool room at 8:30 pm. But it was open in the morning. There was food left in our fridge, but we just tossed it, and honestly, we didn't even report it to the front desk. The breakfast could definitely be better. Complimentary breakfast is nice, but it wasn't what I expected. It was a fruit, yogurt, orange juice, and a muffin. They deliver it to your room. I expected the "normal" complimentary breakfast, so that's probably my biggest disappointment.

The location was perfect—right on the beach at East Bay in Traverse City. We loved being able to walk straight from the hotel to the sand and enjoy the water without ever needing to drive. It made the whole stay feel easy and relaxing.

The breakfast was disappointing. Instead of a hot meal or a breakfast buffet, you had to order the night before and it was delivered to your room. In theory, that sounds convenient, but in practice the food was extremely low quality. Everything we received could have been purchased at a gas station mini mart. I would have been embarrassed to serve it.

I want to call this location cozy. The view of the bay is amazing. The rooms are also perfect—perfectly equipped and spacious. And if you want to stay in, the cable is fully packed with 6 channels of HBO and a bunch of others, all on what seemed to be a 75" TV. Amazing.

I really hate that this location is on a busy highway. And there is a blind curve with the westbound traffic that makes it especially difficult to gauge when it's safe to enter the highway. Every time I thought it was safe there was a car that seemed to appear out of nowhere to get on my tail. I'm on vacation, man!

I loved the shower and the king size bed was so comfortable. Really good nights sleep. Very clean room and lobby area.

Not too wild about the breakfast. Would rather go down and have a hot breakfast with more choices.

The staff were very courteous and friendly. This was a great family place to stay. Our room had a king and queen room first floor on the beach and it was adequate sized so our family didn’t feel like we were tripping over each other. The breakfast boxes were great- just what we eat at home. It was nice to be able to have them right there in the beach.

It would be great if you coordinated with several restaurants in the area for lunch and dinner delivery. We used door dash Qdoba and it took an hour and a half. We chose the room for the beach and didn’t want to leave it.

Not alot to choose from and we didn't receive any silver ware. View and location great it's before the construction.

When we got to the hotel and saw how nice it was we asked if we could be up-graded to beachfront. The staff was very nice and helped us up-grade to beach front, it cost a little more but made our stay! The room location was awesome, we got 1st floor on the beach, it had tables outside the room so you could eat outside. We loved sitting on the beach, caught a great sunset and it was nice walking the beach. Only wish we had longer to stay! The room was great, had everything we needed - clean, a frig with freezer, comfortable bed and just all around an enjoyable experience! Also, very nice pool and hot tub! I also liked how they provided a list of nearby restaurants too!

Breakfast - it was nice to have it delivered to room, but it was a little skimpy for the price of the stay, but I must say the breakfast sandwich tasted like "real food" so that was good. So just a small detail that wasn't that bad!

Front desk staff was super nice! Most everyone else was friendly as well. Having toys for the kids at the beach and in the pool area was amazing since we traveled by plane we couldn’t bring much with us. Loved that we were able to text with the staff vs having to go to the office or call.

If I’m being super picky the breakfast could have been better…we aren’t a frozen/packaged food family but for what it was it was great. Loved how it was delivered and you could pick the time of delivery. Ice machines being broken were a little inconvenient. I would suggest having someone outside to get beach towels from. But getting them from the front desk was nice and not at all difficult ( I was traveling alone with children so that would have made it easier)

Right on the beach! Clean and spacious rooms!

A little frustrating with the price of room fluctuating so much depending on the week you go. I really miss the pre pandemic days of a lovely, full breakfast (Belgium waffles!😍 eggs, etc.!) that you could eat in a sit down area with tables and chairs!! Many years of great memories between here and Sugar Beach resort that had that great breakfast and space! Sure wish the powers that be would reinstate that!!

We absolutely loved the hotel and would definitely recommend it. It’s our second time there :) Location: can’t beat the beautiful view and proximity to the beach. There’s a chest of toys for kids near the beach. Pirate’s cove is just across the street and great for kids. Amenities: the pool and pool water is warmer than Goldfish swim school which I love. Jacuzzi is nice as well. There’s a little arcade. Room: spacious with a fridge and large comfy beds. For breakfast you can select the type of breakfast you want and have it delivered to your room at a specified time; such a great touch!

No improvements needed!
