We came for one night with our 12 year old daughters. They LOVED having their own room and so did we! Kitchen had cookware and dishes for eating, which was a nice surprise. The pool was nice and really clean. Directly across the road is a small public beach, so we sat there after the pool closed and watched the sunset. Staff was great and met all our needs and expectations! If you are coming to the area with kids, this is definitely the spot to stay!

We stayed here because we needed a place for one night, on our way to Glen Arbor, but it had to have an extra bedroom so our three-year-old daughter could sleep and take a nap. This place was everything we needed it to be, and I was especially impressed with someone else's review that called it "champagne lodging on a beer budget" which pretty much sums it up perfectly! There's really nothing special about it, it has a small kitchenette and a seating area with a TV in each room, plus a king bed upstairs with the Jacuzzi tub, and a queen bed in the extra bedroom. The couch was

Every year my mom and I do our annual end of summer trek to Traverse City to eat, hit the wineries, and shop. This year our cousin from Canada joined us so we needed a 2 bedroom suite. I remembered Traverse Bay Inn had large family suites so we decided to stay here. It had been almost 10 years since our last stay here but it was just as good as I remembered. From the beginning our stay was wonderful. The rooms are spacious and clean. The main bedroom had a king size bed and the second bedroom a queen. We had a little kitchen and even a fireplace. Daily housekeeping did a fabulous job keeping our

We recently stayed here with some friends for two nights-Saturday and Sunday. At check-in we were told that work would start on the roof on Monday at 7:30am. It actually didn't start until around 9:15 but was very loud. I think the motel should have notified us of this before we arrived and additionally offered a discount on the second night since the loud noise started well before checkout time. I am a regular customer so would have liked to be treated as such. Other then this issue our stay was enjoyable.

I almost never give one star reviews, but after my stay here I couldn't give two stars without a guilty conscience. My boyfriend and I stayed here 3 years ago and had such a great experience, we felt that staying here again would guarantee a happy stay in Traverse City. We were wrong.
We walked in and were met with a stale mildew-y smell that I am assuming came from the carpet. I walked up the stairs and ... there were bugs on the stairs. Just standard issue flies and tiny insects, nothing crazy, but bugs nonetheless. The bathroom was super tiny, but very clean, which was nice. In the bedroom

Champagne lodging for beer budgets! We stayed here off-season snd enjoyed even more savings.
Our unit included a king-size ded and jacuzzi upstairs, a queen-size bed downstairs, a sofa, a full kitchen with basic utensils and linens and table/chairs, and TVs in both bedrooms and the living area. The beds and linens were extremely comfy; everything was clean; the water was hot and the heating system was quiet. There is ample closet/ storage space; we were joking that the central closet could double as an additional bedroom. And since we travel with our dog, we were delighted by the pet-friendly

For the value, this place is excellent. I was drawn to the motel for the simple fact that they are dog friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to find a very clean, comfortable room with unexpected amenities such as two TV's, excellent wifi, refrigerator/freezer, small stove, microwave, serving ware, pots, pans, iron, ironing board, hair dryer and a large closet. One could be very comfortable with an extended stay here at The Traverse Bay Inn.

What a disappointment! We saw these great reviews and we were thinking this was going to be a really great place- meehhh. It was ok, the rooms were spacious enough I guess. Decor needed help and it needed a REALLY good cleaning. The windows were so dirty, you couldn't even see through them. The walls had stains on them and needed a good scrubbing. The dark carpet was just scary and desperately needed to be wash. The room smelled like mildew and was very buggy as well. We were here a couple weeks in Jan/Feb and I think maybe got housekeeping once which would explain why the rooms were

Excellent value, location, amenities. Room was clean, bed comfy. Generous closet space gave us room to store the ski gear and not clutter up the living area. Kitchen space is a little tight, but at the price, hard to complain much. If the room came with a real coffeemaker instead of the 4-cup job that requires prefilled coffee bags, I'd give this 5 stars.

This place was a wonderful find. It's not in the central part of the city, but it's close to the water. The motel was very clean, peaceful and spacious. My room had a separate kitchen/living room area and a bedroom. the people were very friendly. The price was incredibly reasonable for what you get. My only regret is that I couldn't stay there longer!

OK. So it's still peak season. 4 of my friends and I were looking to stay in a room that wasn't crazy expensive and wasn't dirty dirt cheap. I stumbled upon this on hotels.com and we got a two bedroom hotel room with a little kitchen, pots and pans and plates and glasses included, a fridge and freezer and a mini living room for about $120. It was clean, the owner was really nice when I called to tell him we wouldn't arrive until about 2am. There's a heated outdoor pool. I couldn't believe how cheap it was compared to everything else. Highly recommend.

Honestly, when I was told we would be staying here, I was skeptical. Normally I would have preferred to stay somewhere without the outside facing doors, but that seems to be the norm around Traverse City and the area is pretty quiet. The outside of the building is very well kept and very cute, very family friendly.
The rooms are a little outdated, but clean. We had a suite with one bedroom downstairs and one upstairs with two queen beds. Way more than we needed but we appreciated the space. There is also a little kitchen with a fridge and an oven. The bathroom was tiny, but its not like we were

I rented a room out here for my sister to stay while she was visiting and we loved it!
Outdoor heated pool, in room kitchens, t.v.'s in every room, free bike rentals, upstairs bedroom, downstairs bedroom. All in all, very roomy.
Highly recommended for families to stay.
Would definately go back to stay.
Very nice place!
