We just returned from a weekend trip to Traverse City. At the end of August, the weather in TC isn't extremely hot. Mid 70s with a strong breeze. Perfect weather, but almost too cold to stay on the beach all day long. That's why Americinn was perfect for us. We didn't want to stay on the beach at a hotel that was extremely overpriced. We stayed two nights for $200 total. Great deal.
The room was very clean, but had a strange odor. Not bad smelling, but not clean smelling, just strange. The breakfast was very boring, not as amazing as advertised. It was carb central. Biscuits, bagels, toast, muffins, donuts, danish, waffles and cereal. Then a bowl of apples, hard boiled eggs, milk, yogurt juice and coffee. If you want a free meal, it is good enough.
One suggestion when booking. Book early, then check back every so often through their website about vacancies. I booked our room a month before we left and the total was $279. A week before we left, the same room was available for $243. So I booked that and canceled the first room. The day before we left, the same room was now available for $209.
This hotel is good enough if you don't want to stay on the beach. It is newer and relatively clean. It wasn't fancy but definitely did the job and would consider staying again if the price was right.

Our family stayed here with friends for a weekend getaway. The location was good and the price was a steal. We opted for the "suite" which included a separate living room with pull out sofa bed. This was ideal for our son.

The daily breakfast was far better than expected for such a small hotel. With the way the hotel is set up, we were able to put the kids down, use the baby monitor and play cards at night in the lobby. All while we still had a view of our hotel room door from the lobby.

The pool was a good size, but we found the temperature to be hit and miss. Overallm a decent stay and we would return again.

We enjoyed this hotel. Prices were higher since it was during the National Cherry Festival but we did expect that. Staff was very accommodating and put us in a quiet room in the back (Pirate's Cove and a Dairy Queen are out front and quite busy). We stayed an extra night and they had no problem with that. The hot tub didn't work our last night but the manager was working on getting it fixed the Mon. we checked out.

We stayed there two nights and had a great time. Staff was very nice. Rooms were cleaned and comfortable. The breakfast area was small but the selection was good. They do need better lighting in the pool area.
