Seasons Inn Traverse City
2.0 star property
8.2 out of 10, Very Good, (1248)
"The room was great! Clean and mostly quiet. The bed and pillows are comfortable. The heater/AC works quickly and efficiently. The hot water is on point. I love the shampoo, conditioner and body wash. If the pool is a selling point for you, think again. Yes there’s an indoor pool and hot tub, but they are super gross! Breakfast is only 2 cereal options, sugary yogurt and some ultra processed muffins and bread. If you are gluten free or health minded, you’re screwed. The coffee was horrid!...

"The property was clean! We stayed in the loft which was super cute. No one to help or assist you on premises. We were locked out of our room one night late for an hour due to keyless entrance malfunction which was very frustrating. The room wasnt ready till an hour after checkin due to housekeepers being behind on cleaning. However the were very kind and helpful for sure. The lobby has all kinds of snacks, kuerig, drinks, bagels & toast. Overall really super adorable little place. Would stay...

"The booking, check-in and communication with the owners was great and easy. They were accommodating and let us know we could check in earlier than planned which worked out perfectly. The condo was roomy enough for my husband and I, but also great when we hosted family members for dinner two of the nights (7 people total). The location is convenient to the downtown area. We walked downtown two different times and it was no more than a 10 minute walk. What I did not like about the location was...
