Top Empire Hotel Reviews

Sugar Beach Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was perfect, waking up on the water front was a plus. The pool had a 5 ft depth, which was great, as well as a relaxing hot tub. Breakfast delivered to our room per the request placed nightly at the front desk was handy. I could eat while still in my pajamas while watching the ducks and sea gulls on the beach."

Blossom Hotel & Suites Traverse City

8/10 Good

"Great price point. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Traverse City, MI

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and sufficient. Beds ok. Some crinkley sounding pad under the sheet. Wasn’t bad though."

Delamar Traverse City

8/10 Good

"Beautiful view on the lake and direct access to the walkable downtown district within 10 minutes. Didn't use amenities much and no real options for breakfast without paying high prices for a preprocessed sandwich so look to downtown for better options such as the Town Plaza. Room was adequate but wasn't able to get a King so wife and I slept separately, which I thought was odd for the shoulder season."

Maple Lane Empire

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property within a few minutes of Sleeping Bear. Had that great up north vibe. Short drive to Glen Arbor which has several cute shops and restaurants. My only issue is the shower could be larger. Very tight fit. Staff was very kind and helpful."

Cherry Tree Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great and staff engaging and helpful. Stayed in the family suite, which was well stocked with dishes."

The Vic By Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"It was a wonderful place to stay if you just need a night or two for business. It was fine for me. There were no staff but that's okay. It makes it so easy to check in and out. The bed was comfortable. The room was beautiful and cozy. The bathroom was really nice also. Highly satisfied."

Dune Climb Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Halie was very helpful!"
