“Great kitchen/living area, teensy shower”

Reviewed April 10, 2013

We stayed upstairs in the room that is on the corner (so you can look out the bedroom and see the street and pool and out the balcony and see the lake). I was happy with it overall. I was glad not to be shoved into a teensy motel room and I was very thankful for the full-sized fridge, stove,... More

“Great location”

Reviewed September 23, 2012

Weather wasn't good, but condo nice and clean. If you slept in the downstairs bedroom there was road noise, but not upstairs. Have one complaint. First condo we have stayed in that didn't have an iron and ironing board, also would have liked to have had a larger flat screen tv downstairs. We would definitely stay there again. Pam

Hello, Thank you for taking time to write a review. Each individual room is not equipped with irons and ironing boards but we do have several in the guest laundry area and usually have a couple irons in the office as well and guests are more than welcome to take them to their rooms! I'm sorry you were unaware of... More

“Smoke and Mirrors”

Reviewed September 19, 2012

The fact that so many of the reviews of this property seem to lean toward excellence surprises me. It is, in fact, why we chose to book our condo here in the first place, instead of one of the many other options available. Yes, the views are wonderful but so are the ones we enjoyed throughout the day when adventuring.... More

We are sorry to hear your stay had some flaws. Although our units are non smoking. We do ask that guests do not smoke near the building. We had asked the gentleman smoking the cigars to move away from the building as it bothered the staff as well. Although our hotel does sit on the main street of Traverse City,... More

“A wonderful place to get away!”

Reviewed September 4, 2012

My family and I came here for a long weekend in June to celebrate our daughters birthday. We rented a one bedroom condo and we felt there was plenty of room for all of us (2 adults/2 children). Our girls thought it was neat to have their own pull-out bed and tv! The room was VERY clean and the staff... More

We are happy to hear you had a wonderful time at our beautiful hotel. Please keep in mind that we also have 2bd condos which will also have tub/showers. We look forward to seeing you in the future. Thank You More

“Highly Recomend this for Families with Young Kids”

Reviewed August 30, 2012

We haven't even checked out yet and I had to write a review praising our fabulous time here! My husband, myself and 2 1/2 year old son stayed in a 2 bedroom unit (after reading reviews I saw that only 2 bedrooms have a tub which is a must with a toddler). We arrived into Traverse City a bit earlier... More

“Dissapointing”

Reviewed August 15, 2012

We stayed here with 2 adults and 2 teenagers in early August. At check-in I was overcharged $200. The one bedroom condo was on the second floor end unit. The blinds on the windows do not close all the way letting the light from the pool below shine in right on the pillows all night. I told the manager and... More

So sorry to hear that you were not happy. Yes the unit you were in did indeed have new blinds and furnishings. All units have been updated in the last two years. Also all one bedroom units here will only have stall showers which are of course standard size 36 inch. As for the road noise, the North Shore Inn... More

“We loved it”

Reviewed June 27, 2012

We were so happy with our stay. We were traveling with a 10 month old baby and having a condo with a full kitchen, living room and separate bedroom was perfect. Even better was the view from our balcony, which was great once the baby was in bed and we could relax and just watch the bay. The hotel is... More

“Great place for a family vacation!”

Reviewed June 14, 2012 via mobile

Hotel was exactly what we needed. Great for us because this was our first trip with our little one. Full kitchen with dishwasher. Bedroom is totally separate from living space. Great view of the lake. Would definitely recommend for anyone traveling with children. Putt ploses old close as well as driving distance to several parks and great restaurants for families.

“The Good, The Bad and The Smokey”

Reviewed May 31, 2012

My husband and I booked a room over the Memorial Day weekend. This resort is advertised as nonsmoking and the paperwork that is given to guests upon check-in also clearly states there is no smoking in any unit. The minute we opened the door to our room we were hit in the face with the very strong and distinct smell... More
