Last minute overnight stay
Bridget at front desk was very helpful. Hotel/Rooms could be updated but had everything you needed. Clean rooms and very spacious. Best views from balcony that was very large and on waterfront. Easy access to walk the beach and indoor pool. Wish we could get a last minute deal price this summer! We would stay for a Week!

6/10 Good

The pool wasn’t working and the smell was rough. The room was clean but it did have an odor. The balcony wasn’t private. The beach hadn’t been kept well and the chairs had bugs and cobwebs on them and no umbrellas. Couldn’t sit in balcony as it was covered in bugs. Wasn’t terrible but would spend the money to stay a little down the way with better accommodations.

First time at the hotel eventhough my hysband and I visit Traverse City every year. We chose this location because of family reunion. Water on the lake was a tad cold as it is only mid June but there was an indoor pool and hot tub to make up for it. Guest service was courteous and we had a very nice overall experience.

Spectacular stay-kids didn’t want to leave!
Beautiful place, great location right on the beach, fantastic staff-Can’t say enough about every employee we interacted with. Beds very comfy. Showering last in a family of 6 after doing dishes and still such a good Hot shower! Love the kitchen and ability to whip up a meal so we didn’t have to leave the beach! A few details on cleaning/room overlooked (toothpaste on mirror, outlet covers missing) but nothing that wouldn’t keep me from running back for more time at Pinestead! 2 thumbs up from the entire family!

Right on the beach - beautiful views - really nice staff. Furniture a little dated but it is comfortable - feels like someone’s beach cottage. Love having full size fridge with a freezer plus dishwasher - makes it very convenient.
