7 Top-Rated Motels in Traverse City, Grand Traverse County, Michigan
Traverse City, known as a four-season playground, is now celebrated for quality cuisine, wine and culture. Miles of sugar-sand shoreline include the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore with romantic lighthouses and coastal villages. The glacier-sculpted landscape of orchards and vineyards includes 16 golf courses. Swimming, sailing, paddling, hiking and fishing are favorite warm weather activities, while winter turns the region into a playground for skiers, snowmobilers and snowshoers.

Seasons Inn Traverse City is located in the heart of Traverse City. This hotel is within a short distance to North Western Michigan College, Cherry Land Mall, and Munson Medical Center. Plenty of restaurants are within walking distance, or a short drive from the hotel. 21 years or older to Check In.
Trying but not there yet.
Reviewed By susanrL1721ZDI will give this hotel high ratings for cleanliness and for some of their recent updates but overall it still has a long way to go. A definite budget hotel and I am sure there are better options in the area. Internet service was slow and sporadic. Outlets were lacking. Conflicting information received from front desk staff. We were told at check in that the room would be serviced the following day, waste baskets emptied, towels refreshed, etc. On returning to our room we noticed this hadn't been done. Not a problem as this seems to be the new norm but when going to the desk to obtain the necessary items for the next morning we were told that housekeeping only enters the room if someone is there. What?! We are supposed to stay in our rooms until housekeeping arrives instead of touring this beautiful area of Michigan. Just be honest and say that if anything is needed for the following day to stop by the desk and pick it up. Not the best experience but the room was clean and that is our number 1 priority. Therefore I have given them a 3 rating.

Beautiful bay front stay
Reviewed By 127pennyhFriendly service and a beautiful beach area and also a lovely area to sit and eat, play cards, etc. Perfect location. The room was small but very pretty and well maintained. It had a very nice fridge and microwave and a very helpful shelving unit.

Credit card comprised
Reviewed By kellygJ4938ZUMy credit card was compromised and charges were made on it in Traverse City when I wasn't even in the city.....I am a Canadian resident. I made a reservation and gave my credit card information to simply hold a room 7 weeks in advance of my arrival. After 2 days, I decided to cancel my reservation and unbeknownst to me, the manager had run my credit card for the full amount of the room WITHOUT my knowledge or consent. A refund was issued BUT within those 2 days, my credit card was used to purchase items and more attempts were made for unsuccessful purchases! I have spent hours trying to rectify this situation and this has been a massive inconvenience to me. The illegal charges stemmed from this location. This whole situation could have been avoided if the manager had not run my card in the first place.....again .....WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!!!!
