Parking
It is fun and very enjoyable for the family! But I just don’t understand why they would charge you for parking in their parking lot ? You already pay an enormous amount to stay and high prices for everything in their hotel and I’m not complaining about that but then be charged to Park your car? Why where would they expect you to park ? Their a Hotel usually parking in their parking lot comes with renting a room !

Great family trip
I had two rooms for my family (adult kids and grandkids). There is something to do for everyone and the grandkids ranging in age from 6 to 16 all had fun. The rooms are clean and bed is comfy, the pull out sofa bed, not so much. Great family mini vaca.

Like its proximity to Traverse City. Food was low quality fried food. Kids had a blast- too crowded for me. Rooms are out dated- light to bathroom was so loud

We have never been to one of this brand and there are many things they do that are unique to their company it took a while to get used to it for example you enter the building on the second floor not the first floor
