The Baywatch Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This place is an A+ resort hotel. It felt like we walked into a brand new hotel. Staff all greeted us and asked us to reach outing We had needs. Check in flawless, room was immaculate and very beautiful. It had a refrigerator with a full freezer which we loved so we could refreeze our ice packs. Gorgeous views and a very pleasant breakfast . Loved it !❤️"

Hampton Inn Traverse City

8/10 Good

"They have carpet in rooms witch for pet friendly hotels should be vinyl floors .also put in adjoining room again not good for dogs. Plus the outer door to hall has a large gap all the way around door. Then sliding door for shower leaked. Also sliding barn doors for bathroom dont close tight. The internet was terrible in the hotel. We think you could real use a update of rooms. Staff was friendly and people were friendly to our dogs."
