Hotels near Acme, MI

“Grand Traverse Resort is a great place to stay if you’re visiting the Traverse City area for golf. The location is very convenient—about 20 minutes from downtown Traverse City and roughly 30 minutes from the wineries.
The resort itself is a little outdated, but the rooms are very spacious. Unfortunately, our room had a noticeable musty smell, especially the pillows, which took away from the overall comfort. The bathroom was also surprisingly small—really only comfortable for one person at a time—and the shower had very low water pressure. Considering how large the room is, there seems to be a lot of wasted space. I would much rather have had a larger, more comfortable bathroom than so much unused space in the bedroom area.
Overall, it’s a good choice for a golf getaway because of the location, amenities, and large rooms. However, the guest rooms and bathrooms could definitely use some updating and attention. While we enjoyed the golf and the convenient location, next time I’ll probably try another hotel or an Airbnb for a little more comfort.”

“Very nice hotel. We are Diamond members and our welcome gift was two bottles of water in the room lol! I feel since this location does not offer breakfast for free like other choice hotels, they should be giving you a discount at their restaurant for diamond members at least! That was very disappointing as they did have a snack room and didn't offer anything from there for free only the bottles of water, not ideal! They do have a free shuttle that will take you downtown to Traverse City and back so that was convenient and nice.”

“They have an amazing staff. Every one of them makes you feel welcome. They have all the things you need and then, provide a list of things you can ask for if you forgot something, such as toothpaste. There is a free shuttle to downtown and the shuttle drivers are very nice as well. The breakfast is much better than average fare. The staff is also willing to guide you about things to do and with restaurant recommendations. Overall, I'll highly recommend this place.”

“We wish we were able to stay here for the weekend however they booked, but we were blessed to be able to stop for breakfast. The family who owns this inn are truly special! Even after closing up for breakfast, the young lady showed us around inside and told us about the history. I can’t wait to return someday and stay here! The view is gorgeous.”

“We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Traverse Motel! We were traveling with our two dogs, and after staying at several budget motels on this trip, this place was truly a pleasant surprise.

The front desk attendant was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. We were given a downstairs room where we could park right outside our door, which made loading and unloading the car incredibly convenient.

The room was spotless, recently remodeled, and the bed was very comfortable. The air conditioner is a built-in wall/window unit, so it was a little louder than central air, but it actually worked well as white noise and helped drown out the traffic and outside noise.

One thing we especially appreciated was the well-maintained pet relief area located just steps from our room. Our two pups can sometimes be barkers in unfamiliar places, but they were completely relaxed here and didn’t bark once.

Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again if we’re ever back in the area. We only wish we could have stayed another night! Highly recommend this motel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, pet-friendly place to stay at a great value.”

“Great check in. Friendly folks. Ground floor room
As requested. They even let bikers in the pool (joke). Clean rooms. Could use a few more luggage Carts. Great in room lighting.”

“Recently stayed in Cabin 9 for a family vacation. The setting is absolutely gorgeous and even though all other cabins on the property were rented by a very large and active group, cabin 9 was very peaceful, however that quiet comes at the expense of a very limited view of the lake. The property is extremely well maintained and has a good amount of amenities. The beach area is well kept and the swimming area at the property has a predominantly soft sandy bottom. The newer pontoon boats are very well maintained and extremely comfortable for a day out on the lake, in addition I really loved that renting a tube is an option and the on site kyacks that are open for resort guest use. The owners truly thought of anything and everything.

The reason for four stars instead of five is for cabin #9 itself. I'm sure this isn't an issue for most but but I haven't seen my concerns brought up in any other reviews and thought this feedback could be useful for any families considering staying in Cabin #9. The upstairs bedrooms seemed to be a later addition to this unit, it seems to be an attic conversion. There is no HVAC in either of the upstairs bedrooms which made these rooms very stuffy and warm during our stay. The owner or manager was on the spot with providing fans but it didn't do much to reduce how warm these rooms are. Also, for anyone staying with small kids or unsteady older adults, there is no bathroom on the upper floor and to reach the bathroom you have to walk down a rattly spiral staircase, which in the middle of the night can be dangerous or could wake up other guests in the home. We also cooked most nights and found all the knives to be dull (but this a constant with most vacation rentals in my experience). We also had to give the grill a very thorough scrub before use but again, this isn't something I'd count against the resort, but rather, something to just keep on your radar.

Overall this is a beautiful place that's been immaculately maintained, family friendly and pride in the ownership of this resort really reflects. I would definitely stay here again given the opportunity.... But maybe not upstairs in cabin #9.”

“So I currently live right up the street from this little gas station. And I absolutely love it. I go down there for a quick, convenient drink and snack or whatever. I'm feeling ☺️ new owners, by the way, still really good.”

“Very glad to have the convenience of the gas station back open. Very disappointed in the store’s prices on items. Seriously, $4.29 for a pack of hot dog buns! Feels a bit like price gauging. You can do better!”

“Great casino 🎰
Very large playing area.
Rarely crowded.
Lots of modern games.
Food court is... meh...
Rooms are nice but prices are high, considering you're there to spend money.
Definitely worth going.”
