Great staff

Love this location and love this motel. It was perfect for us to stay for a few nights. Room clean, electronics worked, bathroom clean. Friendly staff. Would stay again.
4-night trip

10/10

Our stay at the Grand Traverse Motel was thoroughly enjoyable. Though the room was on the small side, it was very clean. The best thing about it was how well the air conditioning unit cooled the room during sleep hours. (This is consistently a problem at many other facilities.). The care for the motel is evident from the outside environment that is nicely decorated and the grounds are well cared for.

Stayed 2 nights. The room smelled musty, probably from the carpet. The bed was okay, but tlit was like the memory foam topper was covering a bad mattress.

They charge 45 for a pet. Our dog is a service dog. You’re not supposed to charge for a service dog. I paid the 45 with my debit card. When I looked at my online banking the hotel had charged me an extra hundred dollars, which is right out stealing!!!! I have called my bank and they are going to dispute it just a warning the people at that motel will steal the money right out of your pocket!

I was very impressed with the grand traverse motel, it was so much more than I expected. The room was large, very clean, and the property was very well kept. It was well centered where we could easily get downtown and enjoy the shopping and excellent restaurants. We definitely will plan a future vacation there.
