Top Downtown Traverse City Hotel Reviews

Seasons Inn Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"My room was spotless, the shampoo and conditioner were great with my hair. Lotion and body wash smelled GREAT. The pool was very nice and the hot tub was perfect!!! I was shocked at how nice the room was, TV was a too big for my taste but I prefer a smaller tv. Breakfast was adequate, but I don't require much, fresh fruit was spectacular and the coffee was surprisingly good. Thanku. I will definitely use this hotel again, the price due to it being the off season was spot on and woet every pennies."
