Grand Beach Resort Hotel (Traverse City, USA)

This resort is located right on the waterfront, very convenient to local shops and restaurants. There's a miniature golf course directly across the street as well as a Dairy Queen ice cream shop.

This resort offers a private beach complete with lounge chairs as well as an indoor pool with hot tub. They also offer water rentals like jet skies, paddle boards, and parasailing.

Rooms are clean and spacious, featuring a fridge, microwave, and coffee pot. Most enjoyable is that all rooms have a patio where you can enjoy the sunset views.

While a complimentary breakfast is a nice perk, when offered by a resort, guests expect a higher standard. The food is nothing special and there are only limited options. When the hotel is busy, the area crowds quickly due in part to the poor logistical layout of the food.

Guests say it can be rather difficult fo find a parking spot when the hotel is busy.

Although Wi-Fi is included in the rate, you are likely to experience slow connections speeds at best.
