Took a chance on a last minute booking and I am glad I did! I stayed in the 2Q Deluxe. It was clean, recently updated, and the beds were super comfortable. I will stay here next time in town,no question.

We have stayed here multiple times since 2021 when visiting family. The rooms are always decent and the continental breakfast is fair. The staff has been accommodating when we had issues. Once we had a second floor room when the elevator went out. They moved us to a first floor because we were visiting our mom who cannot climb stairs.

Clean, comfortable room. Welcomed my pet, no hassles. Did have a bit of a wait to get checked in, but what the heck, no worries! Room had plenty of nice, thick, soft towels and washcloths. Great hot water, and a comfortable bed. Zero complaints here….. Will definitely stay again if in the area…..

We were visiting from Chicago for the night. Perfect budget friendly hotel. Clean, friendly attentive staff and exactly as described on the website. I saw there were complaints about no one at the front desk. The maintenance helped me with my key within minutes and they were always around/ responsive for us and we will definitely be back. Thank you so much.

I have stayed at this hotel several times. I am always pleasantly surprised. Priced reasonablly. Located directly across from Traverse Bay, just down the street from a Tom's Grocery store, a 3 minute drive from Cuppa Joe coffee shop. The hotel has a pool and hot tub. The rooms are newer in design with higher comfortable beds, wooden floors. I think of Seasons Inn as a hidden jewel of Traverse City!

This affordable hotel was spotlessly clean, staff very friendly & helpful, offering help and very thoughtful. Beds are super comfortable, rooms look modern and nicely decorated. Wood floors make for a clean space, but they were definitely chilly! A runner rug would be a really great addition in the colder months. I've stayed in hotels that are newer, fancier, and more modern... but despite it's age, and less than ideal location, this was the cleanest place I've seen in a long time. In room coffee, fridge & microwave, super cute bathroom layout and tub with seat. The pool & hot tub were so clean, not over chlorinated and WARM! The pool didn't require "getting used to" and the hot tub was hot! The only disappointment in this area is not having chairs/tables for my towel and belongings. There's a toilet right by the pool which was nice for changing, but a chair would have been helpful there, too. I haven't had breakfast, but it doesn't matter... I'd stay again in a heartbeat based on the cleanliness and super value overall. I saved enough staying here to have a full breakfast wherever. If you're looking for fancy... keep moving. If you're looking for value and everything you need for a great night's sleep, look no further!

Rooms were clean and staff was very polite. The hotel was right across from the lake and it was overall a nice environment. Price was really good for an outstanding hotel. They had a continental breakfast, nothing too fancy but pretty nice for the price you pay. Overall it was a great stay and I plan on coming back when I'm on business again in traverse.
