The Hotel Indigo in Traverse City in my opinion is a solid 3 out of 5. I just returned from a…read moreweekend stay and thought the overall property was well maintained, lobby was clean, room and hallways were clean. I have no complaints. If you are looking for a decent place where you will be comfortable, is close to local attractions, but not needing a lot of frills, this should meet your need. I think however this hotel benefits from not having much competition in the area for a modern hotel with luxury amenities. On the positive side, the best aspects are that the location is in walking distance to everywhere you would want to go for downtown bars and restaurants and the waterfront view is spectacular. The valet and desk staff were also friendly and helpful. The view at the rooftop restaurant / bar is awesome. On the downside, there is a high level of noise from the street and from nearby rooms. The walls are thin, and I could hear people next door talking and in the hallway. Also, the sheets on the bed are thin like paper towel and I was cold and had to wear a sweatshirt to bed to be warm. The bed itself is hard, not firm, but hard. I do not know what the bed is made of, but it seemed like plywood. Bed was uncomfortable, so at the end of a long day I did not get the relaxation of a good night sleep. Also, the bath products were small in proportion. Hand soap was a like a sliver of what you would throw away when you get to the end of a full bar. I would highly recommend making sure you bring your own shampoo, soap, body lotion and whatever bath products you like because you won't have them at this hotel. One other aspect that was an annoyance and not a huge deal was the television. You don't need a lot of television on vacation but it was exceptionally slow to change channels and was making it difficult to watch any television, so I mostly just watched one channel. If you will not be spending a lot of time at the hotel, but looking for a convenient and clean place that is friendly and in walking distance to bars, restaurants and attractions I think you would find this a good choice.

I was really disappointed with the garlic Parmesan fries at Hotel Indigo's rooftop bar. I paid…read more$20.99 including a 20% tip, and I honestly couldn't believe how small the portion was. As you can see from the photo, this was the entire serving. At nearly $21 for a basket of fries, the portion felt completely unreasonable and not at all worth the price. I'm happy to pay for good food and a great atmosphere, but I expect the portion to at least feel appropriate for what I'm paying.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in the door, while the lobby and sprawling yet open hallway compelled us to peruse the guest options (i.e. heated indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, onsite highly rated restaurant, comfortable indoor and outdoor gathering areas, outdoor bar, great coffee stand, etc.). We were surprised by an upgraded room - corner suite due to our special celebration. The room was amazing - spacious, comfortable and with a great lake view, a full and half bath. The workout room is small and leaves a bit to be desired if you are used to a gym, but does the trick for a one-off cardio or strength training. I would highly recommend the Delamar for a romantic getaway, a great place to stay for a wine tour on the Old Mission Point, a family trip, a work trip and more. This is a first rate place that is worth the slightly higher price vs. nearly competitive hotels. Thank you Delamar Staff for an amazing experience!

This place is sour grapes…read more Everything about our trip to Traverse was so much fun- and then there's this place. First, The food is way overpriced. My wife and I split a dinner, had a couple glasses of wine and spent $170 Oatmeal, 2 coffees and an egg bite at the cafe $40 The restaurant manager was completely out of line. He needs to understand food management and hospitality. At one point, I thought he was the customer-not us. The bar and restaurant folks are the opposite of accommodating. It's unfortunate as our group of 16 would have happily spent more money here than we did. The front desk folks were nice but no one was there to oversee the complete and undeserved treatment by the manager / security person while we were being targeted because he didn't enjoy that we were somehow not proper enough for his restaurant. Then he followed us around like we were some group of degenerates even after we left. The restaurant was largely empty. We were not rowdy. We weren't insulting the staff. The worst we did was send a soup back because it was cold. Yes, for $24 a bowl, the soup should be hot. Go figure. What a wet blanket on an otherwise fantastic weekend with friends. We will not spend another dollar in this establishment and I would encourage you to take the same approach. People come to the peninsula to have a fun time with friends, laugh, drink wine, and live it up. Get a grip Delamar or you aren't going to have to worry about large groups like ours in the future.

Though there wasn't much of a view for my first floor room I was close to the lobby which I was very content with. The breakfast had vegan options for my wife shockingly! Breakfast besides that was incredible with what was provided. They had cookies for guests in the evening hours. The fitness room was Prestine as well though I was slightly disappointed that a hot tub was supposedly advertised wish there is not but the pool has pretty solid hours too if the beach isn't your kind of thing. Prices here are kind of high but it was ultimately Justified throughout our entire visit. I will highly recommend and suggest coming here as your first choice if you are staying in the area.

We arrived early from a long road trip and were greeted by a friendly front desk clerk who to checked us in early. Our room was well-appointed, with all the basics, including hand soap, lotion, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. There was a small desk, hooks for hanging personal items, hangars, a small fridge, disposable cups, extra towels and comfortable beds. The lobby was cute and modern and had plenty of comfy seating options, small tables, foosball tables, 24 hr. complimentary coffee and tea and snacks, soups, mac 'n cheese, etc. and beverages for sale. There is a workout room equipped with treadmills, Peloton, elliptical, weights, mats, towels and water bottle filler. The front desk has complimentary ear buds if you need them. A basic complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning and parking is free!

They have a full hot breakfast as well as a coffee station with coffee and tea available 24 hours a day. I do like an in room coffee maker but even having to go downstairs to get a hot cup of coffee in the morning wasn't a problem. The hotel is two years old so everything is nice and new. The beds were very comfortable and the room a have a blackout shade. Plenty of USB and plugs in the room. They have a smart TV so I was able to stream my Netflix and SiriusXM music. Even with a room facing the main highway it was a peaceful and quiet stay. I can't think of one negative about this hotel and would happily stay here again.

Tamarack Lodge is a very nice but subtly aging property on the water in Traverse City…read more We decided to shift away from the neighboring Days Inn for a nicer stay. The policy is rigid. Don't book until you know how long you want to stay. No refunds. We had a one bedroom condo on the main level. Comes with one dedicated parking spot and extra parking on the west side of the lot. The styling is craftsman and is holding up nicely despite the harsh winters and water. Rooms are nicely maintained but the furniture is showing some wear. It was clean and well organized and it felt safe. Access to the beach is easy and each unit has a patio. Views are stellar and it's well worth the price. They come by to clean rooms and tidy up every day. The kitchenette is helpful and the fireplace is also a fun compliment to the space. Staff at the front desk is not award winning for personality but they got us what we needed. Bar was never open and the sister property down the beach has a restaurant and rooftop bar should you need that. We would return.

2/5 Stars: Unhelpful Front Desk and Frustrating Policies…read more I was very disappointed with the front desk service here. Before our arrival, I asked about the possibility of an early check-in and was told to simply "call when you are in town." However, when we did call upon arriving in town, the lady at the desk completely changed her tune. She told us she couldn't even discuss preregistration, bag drops, or using the property amenities until after 12:30 PM. The lack of consistency and helpfulness made for a very frustrating start to our trip. If a hotel has rigid timeline restrictions, the staff should communicate them clearly upfront rather than giving guests the runaround.

The jacuzzi in the room was definitely a highlight and made the stay feel relaxing. That being said, the balcony was pretty disappointing. We were on the first floor and it was really small with plastic chairs and no sunlight, so we didn't end up using it at all. It felt a bit misleading compared to how it looked on the website but we didn't care too much.. We did enjoy the pool and hot tub, and overall the place has more of an older, vintage feel. The staff were really nice and anytime we requested something it was handled quickly and everything went smoothly. I would consider staying again, but I would maybe skip the balcony next time.

Great value. The…read moreplace is a hidden gem. At the end of June, 4 of us stayed in a room with 2 queen beds. (Room 5). The room is very large. It had a small table and a kitchenette area. It is nice that the sink is outside of the room with the toilet and shower, so others could get ready. The beds were comfortable. There is a little porch area to sit and visit. The road is not far away, but traffic was not bothersome. We stayed in one of the 2 room cabins the next weekend. (July 4th). The cabins are set back farther on the property. They seem secluded as you can watch the creek and sit on the porch under the big shade trees. The cabin had a kitchen, living room, 2 rooms each with a queen bed. Again the sink is outside the bathroom which I like as it is easier to share with others. There is free kayak use with your stay. What a bonus. Dave took great care of us and answered any questions we had. It was nice to not be stuck in a hotel room where others are walking up and down the hall and slamming doors. It was a treat to be able to enjoy sitting in the porch in the evenings. We would stay here again
