6/10 Good

Serves the purpose

Not your corporate experience. The room was adequate, bed was large and comfy, room and place was a bit quirky. Schitt's Creek comes to mind, but it wasn't Twin Peaks.
Doug, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Located close to the city, within walking distance of several amenities. Main road nearby was a bit noisy.

A great option

Our stay at the Grand Traverse Motel was thoroughly enjoyable. Though the room was on the small side, it was very clean. The best thing about it was how well the air conditioning unit cooled the room during sleep hours. (This is consistently a problem at many other facilities.). The care for the motel is evident from the outside environment that is nicely decorated and the grounds are well cared for.

Mediocre

Stayed 2 nights. The room smelled musty, probably from the carpet. The bed was okay, but tlit was like the memory foam topper was covering a bad mattress.
