“The hotel stands out for its beachfront location on East Grand Traverse Bay and the romantic whirlpool suites, ideal for couples seeking a getaway; families, on the other hand, appreciate the themed kids' suites and the s'mores kits available for a fun evening. I think that the on-site restaurant, which serves everything from steak to seafood and offers live entertainment, is a plus for any traveler.”
