Top Empire Hotel Reviews

Blossom Hotel & Suites Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful place to stay for our mini vacation. We went during the week and the rate was great for the area. The breakfast was nice and the rooms were clean with comfortable beds. I did not swim but my kids said that area could use some cleaning."

Maple Lane Empire

10/10 Excellent

"The showers are not tall people friendly haha. I’m 6’4 and didn’t really have a fun time in there. It’s very small in general. But besides that the experience was perfect. Rooms were cleaned to perfection, they soap, and conditioner that worked well. They also had coffee which was nice even though I don’t drink, as well as an itinerary for the area in the room. Had such a peaceful time I actually didn’t even meet a single member of the staff due to how easy it was. 5 stars for sure."
