"Spent our 10 years anniversary in Glen Arbor for the weekend. First bed and breakfast as well as being in the area. Breakfast was amazing. Walking distance from all the stores and wine places. Short drive away from Sleeping Bear dunes one way and another scenic route around the peninsula to other small towns and wineries. Definitely need more than one day to fully enjoy everything this area has to offer."

10/10 Excellent
"The pool was awesome, huge hot tub and the kids loved it. The parking situation is a little weird though because you need wristbands in order to get in and out, otherwise you have to pay 20 dollars. We had someone in our party come late so at 1 am I had to wake-up and walk outside of the gate to hand them their wristband in order for them to get in. A few minutes after that while at the front desk, I heard on the employee radio that I was a suspicious person for doing so. So thats fun. Overall though it was an exciting stay for the kids"

Home2 Suites By Hilton Traverse City

10/10 Excellent
"Rooms are clean and well appointed just the right amount of space for a one night stay. Front desk staff was very friendly, professional, outgoing, and helpful. Breakfast left a little to be desired not that good cold food tasted kind of manufactured so did not enjoy that but other than that very clean, clean room felt very safe. A little loud on the side we were facing our room was facing Burlington Coat Factory. It was a little loud at night. It was from the traffic in the parking lot of surrounding businesses. But again it’s a fine hotel a little step up from some of the other budget, friendly hotels. Quite frankly, my husband and I were surprised and we stayed everywhere from the Ritz to the Fairmont, and we were pleasantly surprised to find this hotel, rather last minute for a one night stay with our small dog. We will definitely stay again."
