Just stayed here this past weekend, and it's a good thing I got a good deal on this! Let me tell you the bad things: Small room, paper-thin walls (I could hear our neighbors conversations and they kept me up til past midnight), very cold bathroom (the huge windows in the bathrooms are not well insulated, had to wear socks and a sweatshirt to get ready in the morning because it was so cold in there, couldn't leave the bathroom door open otherwise our whole room would be cold), had to flush the toilets twice because not everything would go down the first time, shower took a very long time to get warm, rusty light fixtures in the bathroom, our comforter was basically a thin, plain white quilt-type thing with a white sheet over the top of it, and the shampoo, conditioner, and soap they provide is the worst I have ever used! The soap was very gritty, didn't really lather, the shampoo and conditioner had no scent at all and turned my hair into a rats nest. I was very disappointed in the hotel because it seems like a great place in the pictures. Also doesn't provide breakfast. The good thing about this hotel was the location.

My favorite place to stay while in Traverse City- the historic Park Place. I checked in at 4pm and preferred a high floor but the room wasn't ready, however they had a corner king room on the 5th floor. No problem!

The room was nicely appointed, very comfortable bed, large bathroom and best of all two large windows. One had a view of downtown and the bay, the other over the pool.

I had an early dinner at Minerva's, the hotels signature restaurant. They were having a special Octoberfest menu do I had the chicken rolled in smashed pretzels. Yum! I should have ordered the mustard on the side because I'm not a huge mustard fan, however the waiter was fantastic and the meal was very good. I took my dessert to go and put it in my room refrigerator.

I then visited the pool and the Beacon lounge on the 9th floor. Gorgeous views of the peak fall color.

Back at the room, the only problem I saw was sheer contact like paper on the bathroom windows. For a nice hotel that is subpar.

Had breakfast the next morning- at Minerva's and had oatmeal and toast and excellent coffee. Again, fantastic waiter which I especially appreciate.

I had a wonderful stay as always.
PS: a nice hot bath, the remote and my dessert in bed was a great bit of me time!! Thanks Park Place!!

The service at the Park Place Hotel was friendly and efficient. The hotel couldn't be in a better location. You can walk to all of the shopping along Front Street. I'm stumped by some of the negative reviews of this hotel. I had a great stay. My room looked out on the lake and the town. It was comfortable and well-appointed. Get a room in the tower for the best stay.

This hotel has the best location you could ask for when visiting downtown TC. It is located one block away from the popular Front Street shopping district. It was perfect! As for the hotel, it is a bit dated but then again it is a historic building. We had a room in the historic tower on the 8th floor. The room was nice with a good view. No complaints there. What needed some attention was the pool area. We went to the pool on a Sunday evening. We were the only ones there. There was no attendant, even though there was a desk area that looked like an attendant should have been there. You enter the pool area through the locker rooms. There were 2 bathrooms in there, one door didn't lock and the other didn't even have a door handle let alone a lock. The pool was nice, heated. The hot tub wasn't working properly. No sign as to how to operate the hot tub, which was tricky. Even then, only two jets worked and one was directly below a wad of gum that was smeared on the side. The cement on the sears was chipped. Not a great place to relax. All in all, we will stay here again because of the great location.
