Top Empire Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Traverse City, MI

8/10 Good

"It could have been a bit better or had an upgraded feel for the price, but it’s still good enough for an overnight stay."

Boardwalk Suites & Residences By Kasa

8/10 Good

"I like the property, my only complaint was that it was to sterile. Like no real thought went into the space. It definitely was clean, but could have used some more pictures, rugs and a dresser and TV in the bedroom. It just really felt sterile for that amount of money. I don’t think I would stay again."

Blossom Hotel & Suites Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at The Blossom was exceptional! As first-time visitors to Traverse City, we appreciated the guidance and warmth from every staff member we encountered. They were not only friendly but also highly knowledgeable, offering valuable tips and suggestions. The pool was inviting and perfect for families, while the breakfast spread was well-organized with a variety of options. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and plan to return next year with the kids."
