Weekend getaway

Great Location, Clean, but could use more updates

Great location! Can’t beat the view of the lake. The room was small but clean. The bathroom needed some updates (a toilet seat that wasn’t permanently scoured would make the room feel 10x better). The breakfast was ok but the seating was minimal and cramped. Great place to stay in Traverse City on a budget.
Ashleigh, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a lovely stay - 2 nights, would return!
Anne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The front desk was friendly and helpful, the person who checked us out was also pleasant. The outside area was very attractive with a pretty garden and colorful furniture- great beach vibe! We had a fabulous view, which could not have been beaten and considering the price we paid, we could not have been happier with the place. Would certainly go there again.
Tracy, 1-night trip

Sergio, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in was easy and staff was very friendly and attentive. Nothing fancy about the room but that’s ok, it did have a view of the bay which was nice. The beach was beautiful, clean and a nice place to relax/unwind and also was the sunrise. Would stay here again for sure
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, comfortable beds, good water pressure, nice beach and the staff, were very kind and acommodating.
Christine, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

My husband and I enjoyed a four day stay at the Brio. We had a queen bed room, and it was quite small. Everything worked and the bed was comfortable. The view of Grand Traverse Bay, from outside our room, was beautiful. My only complaint is the hot breakfast items were the same every day we were there The staff were very friendly and helpful re: places to eat and directions.
Susan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean and service was excellent at both check in and check out. Would definitely stay here again.

Beach with a little shade 😎

Very comfortable and enjoyable. Great location. Beach is lovely.
Lynn, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very good spot right on the lake

Loved that it was right on the lake. They allow you to have fires and it’s 24 access. The hotel room itself is a bit outdated but it was still cute. Only problem I had was with the cleaners, there was still someone else’s food in the fridge left in there. Overall a good spot to stay in though, minutes from downtown traverse.
Gabrielle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Right on beach, had fire pit and lounge chairs for beach. Great stay, food market across street for cocktails and food.
Jason, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

They label it quaint, and that is accurate! Great views, easy seating outdoors, convenient beach chairs. Wonderful staff!
Valerie, 2-night trip

Beautiful accommodations. Fabulous staff.
Cheryl, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location

Location of the Brio is great, right on the bay. Room was large enough for a couple but would seem cramped for a family with children. Wasn’t very clean and no maid service while we were there. I would stay again because of the location but cleaning Staff should do a better job.
