Great Location, Clean, but could use more updates

Great location! Can’t beat the view of the lake. The room was small but clean. The bathroom needed some updates (a toilet seat that wasn’t permanently scoured would make the room feel 10x better). The breakfast was ok but the seating was minimal and cramped. Great place to stay in Traverse City on a budget.

Truly the only criticism that we had was that the room could’ve used an area rug for a warmer feel and to soften the sounds. Checking in was easy breezy and very pleasant. Overall, a lovely accommodation that I’d enjoy again.

The front desk staff was superb. The room was very clean and partially updated. There was a hint of cigarette smoke in the room, but I suspect that was in the walls from many years ago. We wish there would have been a skinny table/desk instead of the short line ottoman. That would have been more useful. Maybe something to think about in future updates. The location was beautiful. It is right on the beach with outdoor furniture available to enjoy the relaxing sound of water . Breakfast was not great but we are not big breakfast eaters so it worked for us (single serve cereals, fruit, yogurt and a couple of hot options). Will definitely be back.
