Amazing stay. We were upgraded from a corner suite to a two bedroom suite. Beautiful! Took one star away due to jet tub not working. Not that big of a deal. Have stayed at this facility multiple times. We love it. The new building and facilities were stunning. Plan to stay again soon.

We had reserved a bay view room. The view was amazing. It was also in a quieter area of Traverse City. We had issues with our refrigerator while there and they changed out the unit for us. I really appreciated the daily room service. I wasn't expecting that. I would absolutely stay here again!

Don’t bother looking anywhere else. This is where you want to stay. My room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel common area is clean and well maintained. The outside area is amazing. There’s multiple beach areas, lots of beachfront seating areas with gas fire pits and a view that is tough to beat. Do you have kids? This place is perfect. Do you want to get away from your kids? This place is perfect.

Perfect! We happened to stay on the first two nights that the resort was opened. While they were finishing the last minute touches(literally) we enjoyed every bit of this place! The pool, hot tub, sauna, beach, fire pits, waterfront! So calm in the morning and the view from our balcony was to die for! Unfortunately, we were in town for a softball tournament so we couldn’t spend as much time at the resort but from the staff, to the rooms, it was all perfect! They definitely have a good thing going on and I am so excited to see how much they grow! Two more buildings in the works? Looks like maybe an event building? We will be back! Thanks again!

Jakob and Kristen

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and tidy but small. No bathmat, which was odd. The parking situation needs figured out...construction is taking up much of the lot and with the intended opening of their fourth building/cabins it will make this a tight squeeze if not addressed. Bar was never opened during our entire stay. I saw one fire pit open out of multiple and that was only on one night. Overall, it's a nice place to stay if you want to be on east bay but with a complete lack of vibe it seemed a bit dull even to two relatively low-key people. Suggestion would be to bring in some music, entertainment, or at least do something other than just being there. I could have easily used Marriott points and stayed across the street which at least has proximity to the pizza pub (trying to cross that road is NOT advised).
