55th anniversary

Having stayed in this condo before, we wanted to return! We love a condo as it has more room than a motel and this one in particular is just the right size for the 2 of us. It is beautifully decorated and furnished!

Stay 204

The stay was good. The bathroom door needs to have a 1/4 inch removed from the bottom before the door is damaged. The beach needs to be cleaned more often.

Adorably Cute, But Way Too Small for 4 People

We were pleasantly surprised at how cute and accurate the photos were. They even have new wood floors throughout that look really nice. I am glad I reread some reviews prior to going to so I could be more prepared. We are a family of four-all of us 5’6” and under and the heaviest being my husband at 160 pounds-we are not big.Pros-adorably cute, decorated well, great location, on the beach plus and a pool! Nice granite counters, decently stocked kitchen, helpful customer service.Cons-As my son (12) said, the mirrored walls deceive you to think the condo is bigger than it is. Area rugs were filthy-just get rid of them and it will look much cleaner. Glad I read about the couch needing to be replaced. I was going to only bring one twin air mattress so my boys didn’t have to sleep together, so I ended up bringing two twin air mattresses. So glad I did, because if the sleeper sofa were open, there would have been no room for one twin air mattress. So we used both twin air mattresses and never opened the couch. The bathroom is as tiny as the reviews say and it was frustrating trying to maneuver four people’s toiletries when there was not much storage elsewhere in the condo. The bedroom-full size bed, not a queen-it is very noisy at night-from traffic on the road to the people walking outside your window and the people in the condo upstairs.The dishwasher was tricky-wait for the green light to turn solid and then push the door closed and it will start. I thought they would have had cooking spray to keep their cookware looking good-they didn’t-no worries, we bought and left some for the next person. You cannot fit two people in the kitchen or bathroom.Due to COVID-19, they do not refresh the towels (as stated) daily-even though the world has reopened and there is no mask mandate. One hook for four towels to dry led to not dry towels.Would I stay here again? No due to being so tiny for four

Hello Stephanie, thank you for the review of condo unit 204. I highly recommend staying in one of our much larger condos on the third floor, they are 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 story units, this will give you the space that you are looking for. We would love to see you return, please feel free to check our website or call us direct for your next reservation. Thank you, Scott.

Best place to stay

Review by Terry A.
For the price location and comfort best place to stay in TC we especially want to thank Jennifer for the personal and loving support she provided for my wife. Much more than professional she showed genuine care when we needed it. Thanks again.

Cute and cozy on the beach.

Nice accommodation with living area, full kitchen that gave a feeling of home away from home. Balcony facing the beach was what really made this place special. Sofa was a bit lived in and not very supportive while sitting. The pull out sofa bed was not usable because you could feel the springs, and there were dirty sheets still on it with hair. The brown blanket we were going to use in the closet smelled really bad so we couldn’t use it. However, it was just my daughter and I so we both slept in the queen bed which was really comfortable. We were able to use the other blanket that was freshly laundered. Would I stay here again? Absolutely !

Very Pleasant

Review by Brenna R.
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights for a friends wedding and it was just the right place for us. There was a great view of the lake, the seats were cozy, and everything was clean. The bathroom is a little small, but it worked for just the two of us. It was a great deal! It was very quiet too even though all the condos were fully booked.

Family Vacation 2020

Review by Jeffery H.
Everything was wonderful except for the lack of daily maid service. The price reflects that very important part of a relaxing vacation. North Shore is very special to us so we still had an absolutely excellent time but sure hope the cleaning service is back next year! A special thank you to Scott, who was awesome and helpful every day!

Location was great , room in clean condition. Not happy with Algae in lake and no grass. Shower always to small.

Hello Vincent, thank you the feedback and good review. Yes the algae does make the beach uninviting, it is an annual event that unfortunately collects on the waters edge. Please feel free to contact us on your next visit to Travers City. Thank you, Scott

Great Condo and Location with terrible bed

Great Condo and Location but the bed is awful! The deck and view are amazing! The condo wasn't up to par on cleaning and with COVID19 really not. We came in and cleaned everything and brought our own sheets and blankets etc.

Peaceful retreat

Review by Deborah D.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at North Shore Inn. The condo was lovely and comfortable and cozy with all of the amenities. It was spotlessly clean. The balcony on the water provided the soothing , relaxing view we come to Traverse City for. The vineyards and restaurants are a guaranteed hit for foodies. We will be back.

Wonderful!

Review by Tricia G.
We enjoyed our stay at North Shore Inn. Condo #204 was beautifully remodeled and tastefully decorated with a soft beach theme. Loved the views of the bay and the worm cozy fireplace. Everything was clean and well stocked. The only complaint we had was checkout was 10 instead of the usual 11 at all other hotels. But overall an enjoyable stay.

Fall getaway

Review by Michelle G.
My husband and I so enjoyed our stay at 204 Nortth Shore Inn! The condo was so cozy and nicely decorated! Being right on the water was a plus! Even though it snowed and we couldn’t sit on our patio.... it was just beautiful!We lost power our first night there and no hot water in the morning but the property manager got right on it and it was fixed. We were really impressed by this! We definitely will be back!

Manager Response:
Hello Michelle, Thank you for the great review! Yes that was a weekend to remember with the power outage and not having hot water the next morning, thank you for hanging in there. We look forward to seeing you soon on your next venture to Traverse City, Sincerely, Scott

Cozy and Cute, but...

Very nice condo. It was decorated very nicely and was just enough space for my husband and I. The balcony is nice. The only downside was the stand up was VERY small, so it was a tight fit even though I am not a large person. The bed was also very soft, so if that's an issue for you, be prepared. I thought it was comfortable, but it was difficult for my husband. It is also a small bed. Overall it is a lovely place.

Manager Response:
Hello Dawn, Thank you for providing us with this review, your feedback is very important! It sounds like you and your husband had a very good visit and we are very happy to hear that you liked the decorations and the balcony.

Fall Getaway

This was a super cute unit - very nice decor and clean! Also has nice upgrades like granite counters in the kitchen area and bathroom. It has a view of the lake and was plenty of space for two people. I will mention that the shower is very tiny. We did have one issue during our stay - there were no sheets for the pull-out sofa bed! My email confirmation stated they could be found in the bedroom closet. Only two pillow cases and a spare blanket were in there. We checked all the drawers and closets; no sheets to be found. My email confirmation also stated that the office hours through October were until 10pm (closing at 5pm starting in November). I was happy when I realized the sheet situation at 9:40pm since they would still be open. Apparently they did not update their email confirmation and their office now closes at 5pm. I called the emergency line and received a call back letting me know there was no way to get sheets. This was a disappointing part of our stay. I was given 10% off for having no sheets. It was a nice gesture but seems like more should have been done.

Hi Sara, Thanks for leaving feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your unit and that it was clean. We truly regret the sofa sleeper linen wasn't provided. More importantly, we regret the linen wasn't delivered to you as part of our standard process using our on call staff. This was learning opportunity for our team and we truly regret the mistake. Please give our general manager Scott a call and he'll more than make it right with you. - North Shore Inn Mgmt.

Beach Front Traverse City

Review by Dale Y.
While on our annual Fall color tour, we stayed at the North Shore Inn, instead of the usual hotel room. It was very nice to have a full kitchen, and a balcony overlooking Grand Traverse Bay for the same price, if not less than a hotel room. It was an unseasonably warm Fall day, so much time was spent on the balcony! The bathroom was smallish, and would have preferred a King bed over the provided Queen, but for the price it was a great value. Staff was friendly, and the room was very clean.

North Shore Inn - New Favorite

Review by Bill P.
I used North Shore Inn to stay at for a week long work event. I just couldn't imagine staying 5nights in a hotel room no matter how nice.Having a full kitchen, living room and just a sense of Home made this trip very comfortable which I know improved my performance at my job.
