Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Petoskey

10/10 Excellent

"We went to enjoy the beauty of the area and felt the hotel reflected it as well. We could sit and look out at the bay at breakfast. The room was great as a resting place for the night after biking, shopping, seeing a movie at the local theater, and visiting the sandy beach watching the sun go down."

Terrace Inn and 1911 Restaurant

8/10 Good

"The garden apartment is spacious and private, staff helpful. Restaurant is really good and the breakfast was one step above continental. The building was showing its age in a few places, at least the garden apartment. Be prepared that this is located in a neighborhood, no restaurants or shops within walking distance, but a beautiful, historic location."

Hotel Perry

8/10 Good

"Historic hotel in a great location. The staff is friendly but sleep walks through the day."
