Top Central Hotel Reviews

The Vic By Kasa

8/10 Good

"We were in town for my son's wedding. The double queen room was clean and well stocked. Our only real issue was thee toilet, it was very slow to flush and eventually over flowed onto the floor. The front desk came to infect and cleaned up with towels and determined that it was due to a faulty mechanism getting caught. The toilet did not run any better afterwards, but it did not over flow either. However, we were left feeling like this matter was not a problem for the hotel. The fact that the floor wasn't cleaned properly after an over flow definitely didn't sit well with us. The staff didn't change our trash during our three night stay. The only reason we got clean towels is because the gentleman from the front desk, used our towels to clean the over flow. I can say that the gentleman at the front desk was very helpful and attentive while checking in. However, I'm not sure we would stay at this hotel again."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Traverse City, MI

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly surprised! The room was spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable. The room temperature was pleasant. The shower was clean, hot, and had good pressure. The front desk clerk was friendly and well informed. We would stay there again..."

Tamarack Lodge of Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was top notch. Loved the in room gas fireplace as well as the outdoor landscaping and lakeside gas fire pits. Very professional and accommodating staff. Fresh baked cookies every evening - nice touch. Of note, the beer and wine bar is not open despite what the webpage says. Hope to stay again!"

Great Wolf Lodge Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"i loved the stay and the water park but me and my kids only stayed for one night and we got there around 4 and the waterpark closes at 8. so we went to the water park as soon as we got there and we waited in line for 10-15 minutes each time because they only had 1 person running 3 water slides. and they shut down the family slide! so basically we only got to ride slides for two hours at most. AND our connection in the room was terrible. it kept glitching the entire time. we did enjoy the comfortable beds and how they had an arcade and desert place on the property. overall we had an amazing time i just think that they need to hire more people and they need to up their wifi game!"
