Top Empire Hotel Reviews

Tamarack Lodge of Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was on the lake, the view was great from our room. The sauna was wonderful. The craftsman style decor was warm and inviting. We would stay here again."

Blossom Hotel & Suites Traverse City

8/10 Good

"."

Bayshore Resort

8/10 Good

"It's an old hotel, but it's really well-cleaned. The staff is also friendly. However, perhaps because the building is old, the soundproofing is a bit disappointing. I can hear the sound of the door and voices from the front room next door."

Boardwalk Suites & Residences By Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic building and room in the heart of a great area for an amazing value!"

Empire Lakeshore Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this property because of its close proximity to Sleeping Bear Dunes. As an added bonus, it’s also within walking distance to Empire beach. The property and rooms were updated and clean. There was plenty of parking. We had limited interaction with their staff but the cleaning staff were helpful. We would stay there again!"

Sugar Beach Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and comfortable. Staff were great and eager to please. Location was good and the beach was great. If you didn’t know better you would think you were in Florida."

Seasons Inn Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"Have no complaints and they helped me when I left somthing in the room."

Park Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is nice, but starting to look a little dated. One of the elevators was out of order, so only one small elevator was in use during out 2 night stay. The rooms were updated, but still showed a bit of wear and tear. One of the outlets in the bathroom shorted out my hair dryer and then the outlet wouldn't work after that, even after pressing the reset button. The room doors didn't block out much noise, we could hear doors opening and shutting around us throughout the morning/evening hours quite clearly. The staff was very friendly though and overall we would stay again, given the fair pricing of the room and the proximity of being able to walk right downtown to the main drag of bars and shops."

Dune Climb Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Get place to stay close to dunes and trail, also their bikes are great for the trail."
