There's also some table games and a bar with video poker in the back. We didn't stay at this location long as we were just traveling through, but wish we could've stayed longer. They have a nice large RV park outside as well where you can stay and also enjoy the casino. We will be returning again as the staff were extremely friendly and made us feel at home.

We enjoyed our visit…read more We stopped here with our RV to kill some time ahead of check-in time at a nearby campground. We parked in a further away lot, team the slide out, put on the air and tucked our dog inside safely. Almost immediately, a shuttle bus came by and whisked us to the casino. We got in line for club cards and soon were seated at the one-armed bandits :) Before long, I was up over $100. Time to cash out. We cashed out and then had lunch in their fast food cafe. All in all, a great visit. If in the area again, I'm sure we'd stop and game a bit.

One warned that if you "don't have patience, don't eat here" because they're short staffed. The other, handwritten on cardboard, announced they "open at 4pm." This is the second time I've attempted to eat here during their posted hours only to find them closed. I understand staffing issues happen, but updating your hours is free. Despite all the rave reviews, I'm done trying.

The bartenders were both kind and helpful with answering questions about the food and bourbons. The gentleman behind the counter offered his knowledge of the different varieties of bourbon to help us pick our flight. I got the Steak Diane special - FANTASTIC. Steak so tender you could cut it with a fork. Veggies were also cooked perfectly and so tasty. Boyfriend got the whitefish fried rice bowl (the other special) and that was awesome, too. Shrimp cocktail and fresh baked bread appetizers were both so good and the bourbons... well they never disappoint. :) We had a great time here and encourage you to try it yourself before letting the bad reviews influence you not going. Oh and because my boyfriend was working in the area, this was his second time coming here in one week because it was so good.

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary for a few days off season (mid March). It was really…read morean excellent little getaway with many pros and only a few cons This resort specializes in golf...golf...GOLF (haha) during the summer, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have much to offer in the winter. There is an AMAZING spa (excellent sauna, hot tub, indoor pool, great massages), basketball and tennis courts, arcade, axe throwing, mini bowling, and indoor golf simulators. And if you prefer to just not leave the room, very comfy beds with couch seating at almost 400 sq feet per the most basic room (next time we stay here we will probably stay on the tower side of the resort where the rooms are even a little nicer). What we also loved here was the food. Aerie restaurant might be our new favorite restaurant in Michigan (close toss up with The Chophouse in Grand Rapids). See a separate review of mine for more particulars. There is also amazing room service, Niiji restaurant downstairs next to the lobby (great breakfast menu), and Jacks where you can get a good pizza or cheesy bread with awesome drinks. As for the cons, there are two: 1. A little pricey, and will only increase as we get more "in season." For the extra cost of an airplane ride, we could get a suite in downtown Vegas at the Golden Nugget, Plaza, or a luxury mini suite on Michigan Avenue in Chicago for the same price per night here of a standard room. That doesn't necessarily mean the price is not worth it here. Just be prepared is all. 2. Kids. Ugh. During the week there were not many people staying here, but as the weekend crept up more families arrived. Of course all it takes is one mommy and daddy to get drunk at Jacks downstairs while letting 3 ten year old buffoons run up and down the hall six floors up knocking on doors and running away to peeve folks like my wife and I to really put a damper on things (I don't mind admitting I don't like kids-lol. I have my own children and grandchildren-that's enough for me). The point is... do not confuse this with an adults only sanctuary. That is not what this place is. Just be prepared. Overall the score here is more like a 4.5 vs a true 5, but I'm rounding up as my wife and I were able to create some precious memories. That is bigger and better than any high price or annoying kids. Job very well done by the GTR&S. Looking forward to coming back here next year perhaps for a golf outing. :)

We're currently staying at Grand Traverse Harbor Resort (March 24-28), and unfortunately, our…read moreexperience started off on a very disappointing note. My family and I--my wife and three children--arrived after a 5-hour drive from Chicago, just one day after my wife had surgery. After that kind of travel, you expect a warm and professional welcome. That was not our experience. At check-in, there was no one at the front desk. When a staff member named Adriana arrived, there was no greeting, no eye contact, and the interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming from the start. Even after we calmly tried to reset the tone, the experience did not improve. When we asked to speak with a manager, the situation remained uncomfortable and unresolved.she was even interrupting her manager johnny and said she didn't care if we gave a review. This was a surprising first impression for a resort of this caliber. We also couldn't ignore that we were the only Black family present at the time, which made the interaction feel even more concerning. I'm sharing this feedback in hopes that management will take a closer look and address it. We're still here for several days and would truly appreciate the opportunity for our experience to be turned around. Hoping someone from management reaches out during our stay.

It was the first time for us going there and the food wasn't bad... but some of the food on the buffet was cold. I got stuff for the Mongolian grill they have there to have the cook stir-fry it for me... he cooked/stir-fried what I gave him on the plate, but it wasn't cooked all the way through. Also, I LOVE hot mustard, and I like to mix it into my food, but all they had was packets of hot mustard that were jellied and tasted horrible. They need to make fresh hot mustard, NOT packets!!! I lived in Florida for 20 years, so I know good crawdads and what they should taste like, I also know how to cook them with good seasonings... but the crawdads/crabs they had on the buffet were horrible tasting and over cooked!!! My biggest complaint would be no fresh "Hot Mustard"... and the cook on the Mongolian grill needs to learn how to stir-fry.

Salad was not iceberg which was nice. Steak and potato came steaming hot, and both were fantastic, and the shrimp was warm. In the past they always served warm drawn butter with shrimp. They didn't. Not sure if it was because it was a side but now I know to specifically ask. The one thing of our meal we didn't love was the NY strip, served medium. It was crunchy and not great. Bummer but that just gives a chance to try new things at the next visit. Adding on, the parking lot and driveway lighting is horrible! They need to add some tall lights through the lot and the driveway.
