Upon check in, we were assigned to room 217. When we open the door to enter there was already people staying there! It was a shocking experience to say the least. We had to go back to the office ground floor carring our bags down stairs to the other end of the building from where we parked. By the time I got to the office I could barley breath due to having asthma. The beds have seen better days, also!

It was a great place to stay in Traverse City. We really didn’t hang out in our room much. We spent the majority of the time out and about.

When we checked in the staff was fine. The next morning when we went to have breakfast, the staff was ok but not overly helpful. There were no plates so you had to put a pancake or waffle in a bowl & there was no salt for the hard boiled eggs. The only yogurt choice was vanilla & the area was very congested. I suggest not even offering breakfast because it was not worth it at all. However, I guess they want to tout that as a perk because that is one of the main reasons I chose this location but I won't do that again.

Their sign says they are award winning but I found the property to feel tired and needing sprucing up. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean and shower with good hot water and pressure. It was nice to have microwave and small refer in room. But carpet was stained and furniture old. Also their “light continental “ breakfast was very light. One morning not much was offered due to not getting supplies in. I do not think I would stay there again.

I would not stay here again. Beds were horrible, huge divots in the middle of bed, completely sunken in mattresses, very uncomfortable, flimsy towels, a/c unit leaked on desk, dirty carpet. Found a pair of dirty underwear from previous guest in room. The staff at front desk were pleasant and helpful but the actual room, very poor. I’m surprised at this because it is the Wyndham name as well as Howard Johnson. There are very many hotels to choose from in Traverse City. My next stay will not be here.
