Top Traverse City Hotel Reviews

Park Place Hotel

Park Place Hotel

8/10 Good
"The bar located on the 10th floor made for a nice destination in the evening offering beautiful views of the Bay and downtown. The bar staff was friendly. The only downside was having to climb the steps from the 9th to the 10th floor. An employee mentioned the elevator to the 10th had been out of commission for a couple months. We can easily climb steps, but some may find it difficult."
