Hampton Inn Traverse City

Okay

Prós: it looked like they just did a remodel, new bathrooms and a nice desk area to plug in a laptop. The location was excellent, across the street from a park on the lake and just a few minutes' drive from downtown.

Contras: We went in the winter, the parking lot did not look like it was plowed at all, and they disabled the front door due to the cold, so we had to go around to the side doors. The bed felt like a springboard - every time one of us moved, the other one woke up and we both suffered sore backs during our stay. There was a terrible woman at the front desk who thought it was ok to treat guests like crap as long as she called them "honey"

Prós: Breakfast was reasonably good but the facilities were cramped.

Contras: Rooms were WAY TOO SMALL and lacked adequate heating/cooling. For the price I would find another place as this was adequate for the needs but certainly nothing fancy.

It's a place to sleep

Prós: Comfy enough beds. Working elevators.

Contras: It took forever to get our rooms ready. Early check in there is at 4p and we were placed in a different room other than our original around 530p. The AC was laughable. Water pressure was not unsurprising.

Not impressed

Prós: The Location was perfect. We didn't go to the beach but it is literally steps away.

Contras: We were told that we'd have a 2PM check in time, we didn't get in our room until 2:30PM. The room was not clean; dirty wash cloth in the tub, dust on all woodwork, floors not cleaned. The TV didn't work when we got into our room and the maintenenace man said that is very normal; happens at least 15 times a day. He did fix the TV, but then when we came back at night, it wasn't working again; we didn't bother to have it 'fixed' again.
