539 Bay Street Traverse City
This place is amazing. Beautiful 2 bedroom condo with lots and lots of space, amazing views of the west bay, and high end security. Definitely a "smart" condo. Comfy bed, very nice appliances. Will be coming back

Bayshore Resort
Staff was 100%. Very friendly and helpful. They had a shuttle that took us downtown and picked us up. Only complaint is the amenities in the bathroom weren’t up to par. Other than that a great place to stay. Would highly recommend

Grand Beach Resort Hotel
Hotel was very clean, quiet, room was lovely and the view was terrific. Only downside was the pool and hot tub were closed and front desk would not say why. We booked this hotel specifically for the hot tub. Small disappointment but overall it was a wonderful stay.
