The property is around 3.6 km from Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College, 23 km from Kresge Auditorium and less than 1 km from Clinch Park. A public car park is located nearby.

We liked that the condo was clean, centrally located (very walkable) and comfortably appointed. We loved the convenience of having a full kitchen and laundry along with a separate bedroom and living area. This made the property really feel like our home away from home. The attention to detail and the attentiveness of our host made our stay a memorable experience. We would highly recommend this property to visitors to Traverse City and will likely stay there again.

    A great location, especially to have quiet streets to walk our dog. A nice taste of living in TC, but a quick drive and nice walk to what we need. And there is Potter's bakery right around the corner and the bike path alongside! We have made this our home base two times now, and it serves us well.

    It is a value hotel. Very clean and the front desk clerk was nice. Breakfast is very minimal. I generally grab a bagel and fruit for later but really only had cereal and very small muffins, coffee and juice. The location is great. We didn’t use the pool and jacuzzi this time but that is fine, too.

    Location was PERFECT for what we needed. I did not try the breakfast because I had a full breakfast waiting for me at another venue. The coffee in the room was good with real half-and-half. The bedroom and bathroom were VERY clean and bright with nice decor. Room had a small refrigerator that actually worked. The cost of the room was relatively inexpensive (compared to others we looked at near by), which made it a good value for how nice it turned out to be.

    Amazing new hotel with great and clean rooms! Entire place was spotless and well set up, and had the feel of a college apartment with all of the amenities in the main lobby! Lounge area, fussball table, and a modern looking fitness center. The hotel was at the base of a hill with tall trees, which made for a great view from the room! Very close to downtown Traverse City as well and cheaper than other hotels in the heart of town. This is one of the very few hotels that exceeded my overall expectations.
