Top Great Lakes Children's Museum Hotel Reviews

Bayshore Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is right on the beach which is great. It is a close walk or drive to downtown Traverse City and a close walk to restaurants and fast food places. They.have a better than most breakfast bar and coffee and tea are offered all day long at the front desk. All throughout the hotel are seating arrangements for groups to gather. The pool right off the lobby and visible is very large and perfect for swimmers. The rooms are nicely appointed with two sink areas which is great for 2 people to get ready at the same time. There is room cleaning only upon request. The Bayshore is a great place to stay."

Great Wolf Lodge Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"Great area in Michigan. Staff was helpful. Clean room and parking was so convenient. For sure family friendly."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Traverse City, MI

8/10 Good

"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!"

"Location is excellent, walking distance to the beach and all the shops on Front street. The balconies offer a nice few of the bay."

The Loop Downtown By Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay. My only constructive criticism is that we would have appreciated more pillows, ideally a mixture of different types as well. The four pillows included were all super thick and not comfortable for side sleepers."
