    I had a really nice say. The pool was warm and 93°. The indoor pool was really nice and had a warm inviting atmosphere. The pool was really clean. And a little bit chilly. The room had nice amenities with Free bottle of water and a snack. The bed was really comfortable. The room was really clean. The decor was up-to-date and mid-century modern. I would go back there again. Ps it had a nice lake view

    Complimentary s'mores packets were provided at the front desk and many places to roast them and watch the sunset.

    From the beginning to the end, we were blown away by a fantastic stay at the Delamar, making us feel we'd been whisked away to a tropical resort. To start, Becky checked us in, making us feel comfortable first away. Complimentary sparkling wine took the edge off the long drive and Becky helpfully explained all the amenities, hours, etc. The hotel boasts two beautiful pools: indoor and outdoor. Indoor has fun paper lantern like balls on the ceiling and a green wall with 3D plants coming out. Also has a hot tub sharing a wall with pool so I could talk with hubby while I was swimming and he was in hot tub. Outdoor has lights strung on top with changing colors in the water and cabanas (first come first serve). Both open until 11p. The artisan restaurant is a bit pricey and fancy so we didn't try it, opting for brewpubs in town. Three tiers of rooms. Standard looks over parking lot and might see some of the lake. Pool overlooks the pool area which is very pretty. Our room had bay view so we could watch the waves. Although the sound barrier is incredible. We couldn't hear the water but also didn't have to hear the construction at all despite it being on the street on the front of the hotel! I'm typically very bothered by noise and could hear nothing at all, not even other hotel guests through the walls. However, the HVAC system seemed to always be on so the fan seemed constant. My husband loved the white noise. I didn't like the noise nor did I like the fan blowing on me constantly at night. The sink is deep in the bathroom, allowing for easy water bottle filling. And the soap is luxurious , so I didn't need to use lotion after wards. Shower pressure is decent. Walk in shower. Breakfast is complimentary and designed as a grab and go. I'd rather have had the option of reusable silverware, coffee mug , plates etc. but everything was disposable. It also meant that , at least during the week when we were there, the selection of food was minimal. Although more options would have been nice, the items provided were delicious. The granola was our favorite. There was no 2% milk nor skim but there was whole milk as well as oat. I poured the milk into a paper cup, added granola, to make cereal. Fruit was plentiful and fresh. Croissants were good although I thought the vegan muffin was too dense. Coffee was well brewed albeit a bit bitter for my preference. My husband said the hot water tasted like coffee so it was hard for him to make his green tea in the morning. The staff were courteous and constantly refilling everything. Our favorite aspects of the hotel were the myriad of different places to chill. The main lounge had a gas fireplace, complimentary board games, tables, couches etc. but there were also chairs and tables scattered in hallways and nooks so there was always somewhere to relax. Outside there were two main areas to relax, in addition to the bar area complete with bocce ball. Both areas had a lovely view of the sunset over the water, and had comfy chairs and couches around gas lit fireplaces which many of us roasted marshmallows for complimentary s'mores. There's also a beach on property with swimming. We enjoyed watching a mama duck take her little baby ducklings for a walk or a swim along the beach. All in all, with the discount provided for those living in surrounding states, this hotel was spectacular for the price.

    Awesome hotel! Updated and modern. Tons of parking out front of the hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Nice touch with complimentary glass of bubbly as you check-in. Complimentary breakfast in the morning which was pretty good for free! Pastries, juices, fruit, hot breakfast sandwich, and overnight oats to name a few. Tons of cozy seating to enjoy your breakfast. The hotel is directly on the water which provides wonderful views! Two pools - one indoor and one outdoor. The outdoor pool had great cabanas and lots of seating. Beach seating along the coastline as well. The beach is not very large but large enough for some longue chairs. Our room was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was nicely done with tile and large to move around in. The room had a refrigerator and tons of stuff in the mini bar. Our room was large enough to have a couch and desk. Love that the floors were a hard surface and not gross carpet. Great stay!

    Decent fish tacos on the outdoor patio

    Had a great stay here when we were stranded in TC for two days due to several flight delays and cancellations. Pros: - 2 pools: one outdoor and one indoor. Both a little small but fine. - Hot tub whirlpool inside and sauna - Free breakfast, including sausage egg and cheese sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, etc. - Free coffee in the lounge all day (but sometimes they forget to put it out so you have to remind them) - Fridge in the room and option for a tea kettle - Bvulgari toiletries in the rooms - Free fiji water bottles in the room and gym - Onsite dining at the waterfront restaurant (very expensive though for average food) - Onsite gym with peloton bike, two treadmills, and some hand weights (but it's fairly small and stuffy inside) - Free shuttle service to airport and downtown - Board games and s'mores in the lounge - Common lounge with tables to do work (was fine most of the day but got loud in the afternoon) - 3 water sports vendors in the parking lot for kayaks, jet skis, boats, etc. - outdoor patio dining with drinks, lunch, and light snacks (enjoyed the fish tacos) Cons: - No business center or area that is guaranteed to be quiet to take calls. - Had trouble reaching the front desk and guest services when I called from my room. Called both lines multiple times and it just rang endlessly. I gave up and just went downstairs to the front desk. - There was an on site bistro but it was closed the entire time. - Not really walking distance to much except 3 fast food chains (McDonald's, KFC, and Taco Bell)

    Since our last stay, Delamar has added a complimentary breakfast at Artisan as well as a complimentary shuttle service from the hotel to anywhere downtown Traverse City within 2 miles of the hotel. They just keep getting better and better!

    Don't judge a book by its cover. The building façade is old architecture, we were reluctant to use the hotel, but was recommended by the tourism office. We went into the lobby and we were very pleasantly surprised. I received a Michigan discount, we were handed a glass champagne(OK sparkling wine). Very welcoming. The lobby is very open, sitting area with a fire, indoor pool. Outside areas with fires in mid September the gardens were just spectacular and very calming after a long drive. So Peaceful. The room was beautiful. I did note a on a few items need repair but other than that totally acceptable. I was not impressed with the breakfast. Four dollars for a bad cup of coffee. Options were limited. They also offered a shuttle service to areas around Traverse City although we did not take up the offer.

    Always such a wonderful experience! Enjoyed the complimentary champagne at check in the aroma that pumps throughout and the wonderful staff! Got a chance to bring my best friends and our spouses along for Valentine's Day Weekend! Can't wait to come back!

    Had such a great stay! There was a ton of construction in front of the hotel. Wish the website would have given a better heads up on that. There was only a statement regarding construction going on in the area so that may increase travel times. I highly suggest you get a lake facing room. Stunning views! The rooms are a great size and were very clean! The bedding was comfy and clean! The bed was decent, but I think that all relates to personal preference. Breakfast was great! Not a whole lot of offerings, but what is there is quality. The multiple pools are really beautiful. I did not swim so I can only speak to how they looked. Hot tub, sauna, all were very clean. I do have to say that it seems that the housekeeping staff seem to really care here. Makes a big difference in a stay! Quite a few great amenities as well as one of the best restaurants in the area on site! Overall there were a couple of hiccups in our stay that I won't disclose here because the bulk of the stay was positive. One negative I will mention...the walls seemed pretty thin. I could hear my neighbors as if they were in my room.

    Chris on guitar... just beautiful.   Love this place

    Previous we were looking for a couple nights in Traverse City to listen to some music downtown and we came upon our old stomping grounds which was the Holiday Inn now the Delamar and decided to check it out. I couldn't tell you what a pleasant experience this was and we're not checked out yet but getting a glass of white sparkling wine at check-in won my heart over. Everything about the place was great including Chris at guitar in the lounge and the outdoor pool heated in the middle of winter. It's all first class and you were a very pleasant surprise. Coming from a property management and real estate background ...I will just say Well Done D Team. From the Straits of Mackinac..2 hours north

    Totally useless shower head

    Last day update: I'd give zero to this hotel if I could. They never informed us they'd be doing fire alarm testing. 1. I thought the hotel was on fire 2. The fire alarm keeps going off. I'm so done guys. I left the hotel crying. Don't make the same mistake I did. Firstly, this is not a luxury hotel with a luxury experience. It's a Big meh. It's too bad too because I was really excited for my weekend. The hotel leaves a lot to be desired. Firstly, everything is really worn out and there is no love in the hotel. It looks neglected-especially the furniture. The hotel reminds me of a Days Inn. It would be a nice hotel if you've never been to a nice hotel. If you have, get ready to be so disappointed. The cost does not match the experience. I'd much rather pay a Days Inn with no expectations than pay a little extra to be let down. The shower is the worst. It's a rain-type shower but it has no pressure and there is no shower door. The bathroom door slides and constantly comes off its rail. Also, there is no fan in the bathroom and the sliding door does nothing for any smells that may happen in there. The blankets are light, like sleeping covered in paper. There is nothing free but coffee in the room but plenty of overpriced things to accidentally eat. For example, the one shot of vodka in there that is $15. It's all a big meh. I come to traverse city a lot so I know there are better places to stay. Back to Airbnb for me I'll post some pics of this worn out hotel before I leave.

    It's no longer a Holiday Inn. So be careful with the name. Excellent location, right at the beginning of downtown. Busy Street with no cross walk so be careful! Be advised this is a hotel where you can hear everything. Walking in the hallway you can hear full conversations inside guest rooms. Laying in bed I could hear someone using the bathroom next door. It is loud with zero privacy. Two beds with nice bedding. Zero chairs or sitting room. Bathroom is a closet, only big enough for one person to turn around. Mini fridge was helpful. $20 extra for this partial view of the bay. Clearly under construction. Beware of the parking lot pot holes. Also the third & forth floors were a hike to a second set of elevators after walking the entire second floor.

    Hot tub and heated indoor pool
    Apryl W.

    We enjoyed our stay here. The hotel staff were very kind and attentive, the rooms and hotel were very clean (we saw them cleaning around the clock) and the grounds and very well looked after. Both pools were clean (and heated!). The hot tub was a little noisy but it still worked well and was relaxing. The included breakfast could have been a little more substantial but it got the job done. Free parking on site in addition to valet is a plus!

    Such a great place on the water! A little cloudy the day we were there but didn't detract from the experience. The hotel is nicely updated and has some great amenities. In contrast to the supposed 5 star hotel we started at in NYC the week before, Delamar had in room coffee, rain shower showerhead, heated mirror to prevent fogging, and many more options not normally seen in hotels these days. Staff was very friendly and bartenders were fabulous! The proximity to TC wineries was perfect as well.

    My family and I went apple picking at Jacob's Farm and had a great time! We were able to find some…read moreapples, but most of the fruit such as apples, peaches, pears, and cherries was already picked over, so I'd recommend going earlier in the season. It was a little confusing at first since no one was around to guide us, but a kind staff member eventually helped. You pay after picking by Venmo, cash drop box, or at the bar. Just note that if you pay at the bar, tax is added. They had live music while we were there, the pizza smelled amazing, and the cider options at the bar were great. They also have a corn maze, which looked fun, though my husband chickened out thanks to Children of the Corn . Overall, it's a good family spot. Just plan your visit early for the best fruit-picking experience!

    Great venue if you love being outside with your pup. They had a nice selection of beer on tap and…read morecans. My Fiancé got a vodka, blueberry honey, lemon and lavender cocktail and said it was phenomenal. I got a Terra Firma Red, great beer from a local brewery. We didn't sample the food on this visit, but the people around us were loving on the pizza, which looked amazing, and the rest of the menu looked fantastic as well. My brother and his wife say the food is outstanding as well. Live music on the weekends in a beautiful setting. Don't forget to go through the corn maze when it opens as well. We will definitely make this stop again when we visit up north.
