Guest Reviews of 200 north shore inn

Traverse City , MI
4.12  out of  5  stars based on 17  user reviews

Small but well decorated and in a beautiful town.

The unit was as described and after reading the reviews we knew what to expect as far as where the unit was located in the building (next to the laundry room) and that there would be road noise and light from the street. The unit was generally quite clean with the exception of the toilet that seemed to have been overlooked. The one shortcoming was parking. We checked in to the unit in the afternoon, but then headed out for a soccer tournament and dinner. When we came back at 10 pm, there was one single parking space left and there was no indication where we should park for overflow. We were able to park, but the car who was also circling the lot with us (not in our group) wasn't able to find a spot - we felt bad, but were also grateful we were able to secure the last spot.

Hello Lisa, thank you for the good review! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed condo unit 200. Yes parking is an issue and we are looking into adding a few more spot very soon. We look forward to your return, please feel free to check our website or call us directly for your next reservation. Thank you, Scott.

Overpriced, but not terrible.

Review by Suzanne F.
Overall, this wasn't a terrible room to stay in, but for the price it's not up to par. The room is very small, and the lights coming in from the parking lot into the bedroom were so bright and the blinds were not enough to block the light. We ended up hanging an extra blanket over the window just so we could sleep. The shower is TINY. The smell of bleach from the hallway was pretty off-putting as well. Overall, $500 for two nights for this room - even in the peak season - is just outrageous for this room. Furthermore, I booked this room on VRBO and I ended up doing most of the communication through the property manager. It would have been nice to not have to juggle multiple sites for my two night stay.

Hello Suzanne, thank you for the review of condo unit 200. I highly recommend calling us direct for your next visit and not go through a third party booking agency. Also the1 bedroom condos facing the water are terrific, I'm sure you would enjoy them. Please feel free to check out our website or call us directly for your next reservation. Thank you, Scott.

Friendly staff

The location was great. The exterior of the property was in good shape. But the unit we stayed in was VERY small, dated, and not very clean. We wouldn’t stay again unless they did significant updates. The staff was very friendly and helpful though.

Hello Jessica, thank you for the review! I highly recommend staying in one of our larger lakefront condos next time, you will enjoy them much more and they offer a great view. We look forward to your return, please feel free to check our website or call us directly for your next reservation. Thank you, Scott.

Nice but small

It was a nice property. The beach was great. The unit looked larger online and when reading about the property missed that this was the only unit without a balcony. Would have upgraded if this had been more clear.

Great Beach

Hi Ellen, thank you for your 5 star review!! We always love when you come stay with us, it's great to see you. I hope you had a great time at film fest!! Kindly, Autumn, NSI Staff

tiny room.

The room seemed to be clean and well kept, the pictures are deceiving to the actual size of the room it is very, very small. The beach however was very disappointing, the sand was covered in standing water which made for a big mosquito whole and unable to enjoy. There was about a foot of actual sand. The pool was nice and clean well heated. It was just a couple minutes from town missing an ice machine. Over all staff was nice, but hard to get past the shape that the beach was in.

Hi Heather, thank you for the review, I am sorry that you were disappointed with your visit to North shore Inn. Having property on an always changing lake is a difficult task. The water level is very high this year and it is affecting all beach front properties in Traverse City and other areas, unfortunately we are at the mercy of the Great Lakes. The water has in receded back and the beach has returned. We hope that you come stay with us again. Kindly, Autumn, NSI Staff

Nice!

Nice small condo! Perfect for a few people looking to get away! My one complaint is our room was right next to the laundry room and while there is a sign with hours and instructions that "they come and lock the laundry room during closed hours" is not the case. People were doing laundry at 11pm and my room shared a wall with the washing machine so you can imagine how fun that was to try and sleep through. Otherwise, Nice property.

Cute and cozy

This small vacation rental was very welcoming, "homey', and cozy. We appreciated the layout of the room considering the square footage. The location was fantastic as other reviewers had suggested (able to jump on to Tart trail and bike downtown or really anywhere from there). We loved that. Had it not been overcast we would've taken advantage of the prime location to the beach. There were a couple of things that could've been cleaned better (bathroom floor was not swept, sandy from previous guests; chair cushion was dusted with food - easily overlooked when cleaning I'm sure) but still clean and well-maintained overall.

Excellent Sleep & Go Spot

The Northshore Inn is a clean, easy to find vacation spot with a lovely pool and beachfront area. Upon arrival we were greeted with the pleasant smells of cleaning product, a lovely reception area and a great view. The room we rented was directly above the reception area; facing to pool (versus the bay). In order to access our room, we had to go down a seperate private, enclosed hallway for the laundry and then the door to our room was at the end of the hall. A little difficult to access but it wasn't a big deal. The unit is small but more than adequate for just sleeping and changing into suits or showering off.A couple things I would suggest to management: the TV placement is ridiculous; it needs to have a rotating mount. The blinds let way too much light in. Bedroom window faces parking lot; we covered window with a blanket to block out those bright lights. Less furniture in this unit would be nice; not everyone needs a side table. Hangers would be great in the closets.To Visitors: tons of closet space but dont forget you put stuff in there! Bring extra towels, a hamper or something to put dirty clothes in. Bring your own coffee & filters, and dont expect to "hang out" here. If you are looking for a pleasant, quick in and out type room where you will just be sleeping, then this is a perfect place! It is not close to the downtown area. It is a convenient drive to many things tho. We would suggest it as just a sleep and go spot.

Jesse, Thank you for all of you positive feedback we really appreciate it! The unit you stayed in is one of our efficiency units, those units are smaller without a view to Lake Michigan, therefore they are much less expensive. I am going to be taking all of your concerns and addressing them so in the future your stay is even more enjoyable!! We hope to see you again very soon! Sincerely, Kristin Isit General Manager North Shore Inn
