6.0 out of 10, (1 review)
"It was a very nice property right across from the lake, but is definitely in need of a facelift. The showers fixtures are in bad shape, but the tub was lovely. Needs fresh decor and bedding. The pillows were clearly old and stained. The owner lives in a converted garage right across from you, and will show up at any time. Which is fine, but he did have plumbers show up and park right behind my car which i thought was rude to the guest. Luckily they didnt stay long. Pictures are deceiving,...

Seasons Inn Traverse City

Seasons Inn Traverse City

10/10 Excellent
"Decent stay for the money. My biggest suggestion would be to improve your signage. Hard to find even after driving to and from several times. I just think the other businesses grew up around the hotel and they just need to get a bigger sign now. Very self-serve oriented. Overall better than average."
