"Excellent location, right in heart of town. Comfortable beds, but rooms and hotel could use a good scrubbing. Elevators are wonky, did not use pool. Exterior doors were non-functioning for part of our stay, but were locked at night and blocked off for security. But truly FANTASTIC LOCATION!"

"We had an absolutely amazing stay at Delamar Resort in Traverse City! Staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was beautiful, comfortable, and spotless, and the views were truly incredible. Waking up to such a gorgeous view made our stay even more special. The location is perfect — it’s an easy walk to downtown, with plenty of restaurants, shops, and things to do nearby. Delamar offers shuttles also to downtown. We loved being able to enjoy everything Traverse City has to offer without having to worry about driving and parking. From the beautiful accommodations to the fantastic location and breathtaking views, Delamar exceeded our expectations. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Traverse City!"

"Be aware: The front desk has limited hours. They close at midnight. We needed a late check-in due to our travel. I am glad we called ahead to notify them or else we would have lost our room. The front desk closes at midnight - we were arriving around 12:20. I called ahead and the gentleman was accommodating and waited for us, for which we were VERY thankful. Our room was very clean, and the beds were comfy. Shower drained a little slow, but that is my only negative. Fantastic customer service, as they stayed late to wait for us to arrive."
