Seasons Inn Traverse City

Seasons Inn Traverse City

10/10 Excellent
"I enjoy staying here. It started out for traveling through Traverse City, but now that I live here we sometimes go just for no reason but the quiet space. Its great that they are located next to Red Mesa, the bus pickup is right in front of the hotel which is great after driving all day. Oh, and in the summer you can walk right over to the local Putting course. They have go carts over there too. Don't forget it's across the street from the lake! The staff is very responsive and kind. You won't see them just resting on their laurels or picking their nose. These folks are busy keeping everything clean and fresh while still meeting everyone's needs promptly. I feel like I get the appropriate bang for my buck when I'm there."
