Elk Rapids Lakeshore Inn

It’s a nice little hotel near Traverse City. I was the only guess there for two days. The room was clean when I arrived. There were no toiletries in the room such as soap or shampoo. I called the front desk to see if I can get some, but no one was at the desk. The hot water was definitely hot. There was nowhere to eat in the room. Given its size, that’s not a surprise. The price was reasonable.

I used ******* (unfortunately) and it messed up my reservation. Owner of this hotel was kind understanding even though it was her loss and inconvenience.

This is a wonderful motel. Loved the setting. The room was immaculate and ready for us. My only suggestion would be -- hooks in bathroom to hang clothes - behind door would be the best place. Short bench would be nice too.

Was great for our needs. Aside from a tv that didn’t work at first, a missing light bulb and a refrigerator that froze our food, the unit was clean, beds comfortable, quiet, beautiful sunset at the beach. Staff was responsive to the tv issue. Would stay here again.

We were comfortable throughout our stay. The air filter in the AC unit could be cleaned.

The rooms are nicely updated for a Motel. It was cleaned, however the floor trim and corners were dirty with dirt, hair, and dust - more specifically in the bathroom. The bed was a little too firm and at times I felt I could feel the springs. There is a noise ordinance, however, we could still hear our neighbors talking at "normal" volumes - the walls were just thin. The service was great, she was very friendly. They say in the description it is on water, however it is actually a 5 minute walk to the water. Wasn't a big deal for us, I just felt it wasn't described well. Check in/check out was smooth.

Amazing staff, affordable, and great location for traveling and skiing!

Staff was very nice. They called before our arrival to let us know they were 30 minutes behind on cleaning. Location of the inn was very convenient. Our room was clean and very well put together. The fire pt and picnic area was a great addition. Beach access was a quick walk. We will definitely be back in the future.

Room is a bit small but sheets were clean and comfortable. Bathroom is good sized with basic amenities of soap, shampoo, towels. I just noticed though that there were a lot of dust on the heater/ac part and it would be good if they also vacuum that inner coil dust once in a while. I dont have allergies so i am ok. There’s also some smell of smoke or maybe it was just the carpet. I just sprayed my room with my air freshener and opened my door for some time to get fresh air in. My a/c didnt cooled off well on my first night and i mentioned it to the cleaning person outside the next day. She said she will report it to the owner. I guess they did something it cooled well on the 2nd night. Location is good with a walkable private beach access. It was 20mins drive to downtown Tc which is ok with me but if downtown shops, restaurants are your preference this might be not your area.
