My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms on the upper floor were cozy and well-equipped with everything we needed, from coffee to Wi-Fi, but the service left something to be desired. The location was convenient, close to downtown and some nice restaurants, though the experience with the dining options was a bit disappointing.

The hotel has a mix of positive and negative points. The rooms, although a bit old, are clean and well-stocked, and I particularly enjoyed the walk-in shower. The service was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location is quiet and safe, though a bit distant from downtown Traverse. Dining options were adequate but could have been better given the room price.
