My husband and I were visiting Traverse City for the first time. As usual, I looked at the reviews on Trip Advisor. I'm so glad I read about Traverse Bay Inn. At our arrival, I was very pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the Office area. If that was to be any indication of the cleanliness of the Inn's rooms,... More

I came to Traverse City for a recent work trip and we decided to make a weekend out of it. After another reservation fell through, I found the Traverse Bay Inn. Were we more than impressed!!! This Inn is cleaner than I ever thought possible and most five star hotels I have stayed in. The staff was super friendly and... More

All the positive reviews were right with this place! Absolutely loved our room and we were lucky to have the woods out our window so it made it seem very rustic. The room was fantastic and it was right down the road from a Walgreens and many places to eat. Check in was super fast and the price was the... More

This place was an incredible deal. Although not located in the center of Traverse City, it was located close to the beaches on the East Bay. The price was a steal. The hotel room was more like a small condo: it had a small living room, a refrigerator, microwave, oven and cupboards full of cooking utensils. The bedroom was in... More

We often make day trips to Traverse City, but on Thursday night (May 16th, 2013), we decided to make an overnight trip. I booked a room at this hotel and had no idea what to expect. I read some reviews and they looked fantastic, but it isn't until you stay yourself, that you know what a hotel is like. This... More

After reading all the great reviews on tripadvisor I decided to give this place a try. Best idea ever. The price couldn't be beat AND we were able to reserve the jacuzzi room. It was so convenient having a mini kitchen as well. Perfect location and the rooms were very clean and comfy. This will definitely be the place we... More

This was a great place. The bedroom was a separate room from the main room and had a real nice little kitchen area which we didn't use as we only stayed one night. The room(s) were very clean and had a very comfortable home atmosphere. Staff at the front desk both on check-in and check-out were very friendly as well.
