Hotel Hampton Inn Traverse City (Traverse City, USA)

Guests are generally delighted to find that the hotel sits opposite a nice public beach with a playground area. The hotel is also, however, on a four-lane highway so beach-goers are well advised to stroll up to the cross-walk if heading over on foot. The beautiful Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is about 45 minutes away. Guests also comment on the good variety of restaurants, shops, and other amenities in downtown Traverse City, about 3 miles away.

The front desk staff have received many positive reviews for their cheerful, thoughtful customer service. New visitors to the city report that they are pleased to provide directions, recommend restaurants, and arrange transportation.

Guests often describe the rooms as clean and well maintained, with comfortable furnishings. Travelers on a budget often comment that the inclusion of parking, Wi-Fi, and breakfast in the rates adds up to "good value for money", particularly in the off-season.

While many guests describe their rooms as clean, a few guests have voiced concerns about the overall level of housekeeping. Some report that the public areas need more frequent vacuuming and the garbage cans need to be emptied more often.

The Hampton Inn Traverse City is an older building, and some guests describe the rooms as "small and dark" in comparison with the chain's newer properties. Many rooms seem to feature an uninspiring view of the parking lot, though some offer a glimpse of the lake across the highway.

Some guests have been kept up at night by noisy heating or cooling, inconsiderately loud neighbors, or exterior doors slamming shut.
