Top Empire Hotel Reviews

Blossom Hotel & Suites Traverse City

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Convenient"

The Vic By Kasa

10/10 Excellent

"A very nice property. It was spotless and the room was very nice. I would recommend it to anyone."

Seasons Inn Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"CLEAN"

Empire Lakeshore Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was my favorite overnight stop despite the lack of a pool. The bedding was clean with no faint oily smelling pillows common most everywhere else. The room was sparkling. The coffee fixings were the best. It is not located in the center of things which means there is less traffic noise. It is only 5-6 miles from Headlands Park and the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes Park and only 7-8 miles from Glen Arbor. When I return for star gazing I will stay here again."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Traverse City, MI

10/10 Excellent

"We were very happy with our stay. We were able to leave our car there while flying out of Traverse City. I just wish they did a shuttle to the airport."

Delamar Traverse City

"Location to walking paths and downtown"

Maple Lane Empire

Boardwalk Suites & Residences By Kasa

"We had a first floor unit which had extra tall ceilings. It was a clean unit with fun extras like canned water and chips. Shower was hot and nice products. Our only complaints were the expensive parking and the bed itself though comfortable was really creaky."
