Seasons Inn Traverse City

Seasons Inn Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Only issue was cleaning service = At check in we were told since we were staying 3 nights cleaning service would only change the towels and dump the trash. When we returned to our room on day 2 the towels were changed - but they did not dump the trash. ..... The next morning I put both trash cans out in the room when we left. (And yes then they dumped the trash). I was disappointed that they do not fix the bed - one of the "perks" I enjoy while traveling is NOT having to fix my bed!"

"First, i thought the property was difficult to find..it is not well marked and it is surrounded by other bldgs. The staff are beyond helpful & the checkin was flawless. The rooms are ample in size, and have good amenitites but the bathroom is dated. My only big complaint are the beds. Hard as rocks. I had a bad sleep. Breakfast was wonderful..they had everything. I would not likely return because of the beds.. if the beds were replaced i would absolutely return!"
