The staff at the Grand Traverse Motel were helpful and welcoming. My husband and I were traveling with our dogs and that always limits our options. This motel was just perfect for us. The pet fee was reasonable and the amenities for the dogs were great.

Thought the decorations outside the motel for Halloween was very cute! We were pleasantly surprised with the large fridge and the small dining table in the room. Overall, a good place to stay for a night or two.

Roadside location meant moderate traffic noise, which lessened at night. The motel is a bit tired; bed was comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful.

Older motel, but nice, clean rooms, and good location. Depending on where you wanted to go, the main downtown area was about a mile - a few blocks. I walked there and back without any issue, but some might think it was a long walk because it was not within a block or 2, but there were other things closer by.

I was very impressed with the grand traverse motel, it was so much more than I expected. The room was large, very clean, and the property was very well kept. It was well centered where we could easily get downtown and enjoy the shopping and excellent restaurants. We definitely will plan a future vacation there.

We were in town for one night. Since I've stayed at this motel before, I knew it was clean and in a convenient location. It was the perfect spot. The man on duty was very kind and helpful to answer all my questions and we had a great stay. Will be back!

This place is very comfy. Like a motor motel from the old days which it actually is. Everything in the room was well placed and executed. The heat didn't seem to come on but it was not really a problem. Very clean. Excellent linens.
