"Gas fireplace was nice but emitted a strong gas smell when in use. Bed was great and room was very nice and clean. Would have been nice to have an informative booklet/binder about the place (restaurant times and menus, where ice could be found, TV channel listings, etc. )"

Pointes North Beachfront Hotel – 2 Person Spa Tub Studios

8/10 Good
"A view that is certainly unbeatable, however if you are a clean freak or cannot tolerate some bugs and/or typical lake-front property critters, this is not your spot. General cleanliness or the floors, corners, and bathroom area was suboptimal but manageable for 2 nights. Would recommend if you’re looking for a reasonably priced, short getaway and can tolerate those minor things."

10/10 Excellent
"Such a lovely property. Due to the age of the property I wasn’t expecting it to feel so clean with a fresh new cedar smell. The beds were exceptionally comfortable with high end linens. The outside area overlooking the bay was the most pleasant surprise. We took advantage of the gas fire pits on a cool morning. We were in a double queen room and it was perfect for our one night stay. So many nice details from the clothes steamer to the nice toiletries. I am a “hotel snob” and I was very impressed. Will definitely stay at Tamarack Lodge when back in Traverse City."
