    Not great, not terrible

    We stayed here for a few nights. The first room we were in was okay. The second we were in was better and bigger, though it was a BIG hassle and we told them we'd prefer not moving to the bigger room due to that. The reason it was such a huge hassle is because the workers are not there until late in the morning and not there late at night, plus we had to wait for them to clean the 2nd room. It really messed up our plans for our vacation and had my husband driving from Sleeping Bear Dunes back to the hotel and back to the dunes to deal with moving our stuff. So he didn't really get to enjoy the dunes with the kids. We would have been totally fine staying in the smaller room but they insisted on moving us to the bigger one.

    The hours they list for being present are not accurate to when they are actually there. But they are very friendly when they are there and do respond promptly to e-mails. The "free breakfast" was lacking so I recommend looking up and planning on grabbing breakfast elsewhere. The prices are a little high on weekends for what you get just because it is Traverse City and everything gets booked up. Supply and demand, but the weekday prices are phenomenal.

    It does look kinda sketchy and outdated, especially compared to other hotels in the area. When we pulled in there was even somebody in the parking lot with an ankle monitor on. They use old fashioned keys for the rooms and in our first room the deadbolt didn't lock/work with the key when leaving. You can tell they are working on renovating the rooms, though. The 2nd room looked nice and was better overall but if you have crawling kids/babies I would avoid the place. They had exposed pipes and wires etc along the back wall in the bathroom under the counter.

    They are dog-friendly which is the only reason we booked with them. The dog-friendly hotels in the area are few and far between with availability and decent pricing. Just be prepared to pay the extra pet fee and also keep in mind that this hotel has a lot of noise. So if your dog barks at noises/voices I would find somewhere else.
