I thought the property was beautiful. The patio doors to a terrace or small deck for a sitting area was wonderful. I would of liked it closer to the casino but the shuttle was nice. Not having a place for breakfast nearby we drove a bit for this. I would stay again it was really nice and I would recommend it to others

Room was great - clean, comfortable and well decorated. However, air conditioner was too loud and fire door in hallway which was access to/from another section of building was always slamming shut when used. Hard to sleep well.

Enjoyed my stay. The staff was very helpful. Wish they could have done something with the weather lol. Riding a motorcycle in the rain is a little hairy. All in all I really enjoyed staying there. Highly recommend them

Beautiful view of West Grand Traverse Bay. Crisp clean new sheets of good quality. Table and two chairs in the room created a very nice sitting area plus a comfortable desk chair. Only bad part is that because of the way the fridge and microwave are situated, you cannot see the TV from the sitting area. The TV, by the way, is very nice sized, modern but has no cable TV just free channels. No freezer in the fridge and very limited counter space in the bathroom.
