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.

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.

To enhance our already ravenous appetite, - Emmolo Merlot from Napa Valley, it's a bold and luscious wine and Duckhorn Merlot which is softer and also from Napa Valley but a different vineyard ( St. Helena, Napa ) Our appetizers were Escargot and Oysters on the half shell. The Oysters platter has numerous dips of which our very charming, knowledgeable and also very patient server Kelsie repeatedly explained to me. I never dip my Raw Oysters but that day I was feeling adventurous! One of many fantastic things about Traverse City is that a lot of waiters at their restaurants attend the Great Lakes Culinary Institute there so they are " well schooled " whether it Burgers or Prime Rib.

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. :)

The buildings and property are gorgeous, however we had a less than 4 star experience staying here…read more The female bartender at the golf clubhouse was the rudest employee I've ever encountered in life. She was rolling her eyes, had an attitude, and snapped at us verbally for ordering some basic food and drinks in an almost empty club house. You have to call for room service to come by, we have dirty towels and trash overflowing currently. The staff had the shuttle take us to the pool/beach amenity, and when we arrived it was totally closed due to the wildfire smoke. No one let us know. We were stranded without bathrooms, towels, food or drinks. Finally, I found blood on the wall and our air vent was covered in hair and dust. This is a less than 4 star report in my opinion, with beautiful views and a nice building.

Buffets kill me because if they're good I just wish I could bring a spare stomach. We started with a variety of fresh sushi, seconds from the other side, egg roll, shrimp in at least 5 or 6 treatments, green beans, chicken, pepper steak, etc. Finished off with various fresh and canned fruit slices including lychees, puddings, cakes. Just the thing to top off the main courses. I give it 4.5 stars due to the lackluster decor. But the wait staff is friendly and not pushy. No silly masks either. People are smiling again. Hooray!!! I forgot to take photos I was so hungry that all I could think about was biting in. Prices are reasonable because you can eat yourself to death here. Totally worth it compared to a lot of what's out there these days.

I've lived in Traverse City walking distance from Boone's for over 10 years. This place used to be…read more"pretty good" but now is just not worth going to at all. The service, which was always a bright spot, is terrible. The wait staff is clearly overwhelmed with the number of tables they have to serve. The quality of food has drastically declined. Worst of all, the prices are outrageous. A modest meal (appetizer, drinks, and 4 entrees) for a family of 4 cost almost $300 (and no one had steak)! I would strongly recommend passing on this place and going to any of the dozens of restaurants in the area that' offer much better food at far more reasonable prices.

Even if no one is using the larger table nor if there are any reservations. So we were expected to sit at two table and how do you communicate with our family at another table? They told us we couldn't put the table right next to the booth to sit together. Pretty much ruined it until we decided to add one person to the booth and then a chair at the end of the booth. So since we wouldn't have room for used dishes we just put them on the original added table to our family. They seemed upset with us for doing that. Like we made extra work for them. We needed the room for added plates so we had to do something with the dishes. I will say the food was very good, prices was very good. But I will not return if we have more than 4 people again unless someone makes reservations there. Hostess was rude and thoughtless for not trying to help us out. Then another family came in with the same situation with 5 people. She did the same thing with them. Not many people there then and they can't try to help out with the seating? Not good people.
