Best Western Plus Traverse City

This Best Western property is adorable. The exterior of the building is colorful and beachy, and stands out from surrounding buildings. The inside is just as pleasant. It put us in the mood to be on the beach, and felt very comfortable and welcoming. At check-in, I was greeted by a woman who was very friendly and happy to explain different nearby attractions as it was my first time to Traverse City. The layout is unique, with wide open hallways and plenty of entrances around the building so you can park close to your room. The room had built-ins with lots of storage, so if you're staying a while or someone who hangs/stores their clothes outside of their luggage while travelling, it's easy to do here. The pillows were a little small, and the beds were a bit firm but overall I was comfortable here. Everyone we met was really friendly and helpful, never making us feel like a burden even when we asked for a lot. The service was excellent. As a hotel employee myself, I really appreciate this. We were only here one night, so our final experience was with the breakfast attendants on our way out. We arrived late to breakfast, 15 minutes before it ended, expecting to pick off of what was still left. Everything was still relatively well-stocked, but better than that, the man running the breakfast bar overheard us mention that there was no bacon left and offered to make some just for us. The variety was great. On a Thursday morning, they offered scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, French toast, sausage, bacon, and 2 types of waffles plus everything else a traditional hotel breakfast has. We were very happy with the service and the selection. Thank you! Also a note to anyone travelling to Traverse, most restaurants close at 9 or 10, and I recommend visiting or driving the Leelanau Peninsula. It's full of vinyards, orchards, hills, and different lakes. It's a beautiful drive with cute little beach/harbor towns. less

This hotel is just a mile away from the main downtown area, and they have a shuttle that can often take you there for no charge, which was very nice. The hotel is clean and the breakfast is above average. We definitely would stay here again. less

This is a great place to use as a home base when seeing the sites around Traverse City. The front desk folks are very helpful and go out of their way to make sure their guests feel like family. I let them know we were celebrating an anniversary when I made the reservation. When we arrived, there was a bottle of wine, two glasses and fresh local flowers and a card on the table in our room. Wow, how sweet The free shuttle to downtown was a life saver as parking is impossible. It was very easy to reserve and great to use. The hotel only has 50 rooms so the breakfast buffet was always well stocked and quickly restocked if something ran low. The food hostess and host were always asking if they could help and even picked up your dirty dishes for you This is not a fancy place but the rooms are clean, the free breakfast buffet is good and the staff is extremely friendly I didn’t use the exercise room, the laundry or the indoor pool. However, I did look at them and they all seemed very clean. The pool impressed me as it had a handicap lift. Something I have never seen at a hotel. less

Staff was nice enough. You will notice an odor upon entering the lobby. Beds are too firm for my liking. The breakfast was ok, nothing special. Rooms were a little cramped. The water pressure was horrible. The shuttle service is a nice touch, but hit or miss on availability. less
