Unfortunately, there were ants all over one bedroom and bathroom and kitchen areas. When we contacted management, they apologized for the inconvenience, and said they would find a solution. They contacted their maintenance team and were getting it scheduled. No updates and no solution. No maintenance came. We'd also had an emergency communication elevator alert beeping outside our door. We reported as well as others in the building had. They noted to us that they addressed with maintenance. No one came to fix it. There was also a rubber strip missing from the bottom of the shower door, which led to water pouring onto the bathroom floor. There were light bulbs out. There was trash not cleaned up on the floor around the bed. On the last day, prior to check out time and prior to my checking out on the portal, the cleaning service arrived to clean. Disappointing.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in the door, while the lobby and sprawling yet open hallway compelled us to peruse the guest options (i.e. heated indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, onsite highly rated restaurant, comfortable indoor and outdoor gathering areas, outdoor bar, great coffee stand, etc.). We were surprised by an upgraded room - corner suite due to our special celebration. The room was amazing - spacious, comfortable and with a great lake view, a full and half bath. The workout room is small and leaves a bit to be desired if you are used to a gym, but does the trick for a one-off cardio or strength training. I would highly recommend the Delamar for a romantic getaway, a great place to stay for a wine tour on the Old Mission Point, a family trip, a work trip and more. This is a first rate place that is worth the slightly higher price vs. nearly competitive hotels. Thank you Delamar Staff for an amazing experience!

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary for a few days off season (mid March). It was really…read morean excellent little getaway with many pros and only a few cons This resort specializes in golf...golf...GOLF (haha) during the summer, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have much to offer in the winter. There is an AMAZING spa (excellent sauna, hot tub, indoor pool, great massages), basketball and tennis courts, arcade, axe throwing, mini bowling, and indoor golf simulators. And if you prefer to just not leave the room, very comfy beds with couch seating at almost 400 sq feet per the most basic room (next time we stay here we will probably stay on the tower side of the resort where the rooms are even a little nicer). What we also loved here was the food. Aerie restaurant might be our new favorite restaurant in Michigan (close toss up with The Chophouse in Grand Rapids). See a separate review of mine for more particulars. There is also amazing room service, Niiji restaurant downstairs next to the lobby (great breakfast menu), and Jacks where you can get a good pizza or cheesy bread with awesome drinks. As for the cons, there are two: 1. A little pricey, and will only increase as we get more "in season." For the extra cost of an airplane ride, we could get a suite in downtown Vegas at the Golden Nugget, Plaza, or a luxury mini suite on Michigan Avenue in Chicago for the same price per night here of a standard room. That doesn't necessarily mean the price is not worth it here. Just be prepared is all. 2. Kids. Ugh. During the week there were not many people staying here, but as the weekend crept up more families arrived. Of course all it takes is one mommy and daddy to get drunk at Jacks downstairs while letting 3 ten year old buffoons run up and down the hall six floors up knocking on doors and running away to peeve folks like my wife and I to really put a damper on things (I don't mind admitting I don't like kids-lol. I have my own children and grandchildren-that's enough for me). The point is... do not confuse this with an adults only sanctuary. That is not what this place is. Just be prepared. Overall the score here is more like a 4.5 vs a true 5, but I'm rounding up as my wife and I were able to create some precious memories. That is bigger and better than any high price or annoying kids. Job very well done by the GTR&S. Looking forward to coming back here next year perhaps for a golf outing. :)

Great hotel in Traverse City. So many amenities and really nice rooms and fantastic staff…read morethroughout the hotel. Some of the amenities include pools, workout rooms, wedding planning, a little shopping area in the mall where you can buy candy or clothes, some hiring shops as well. They also have a free shuttle over to the casino, you can also rent ATVs or electric bikes, or other outdoor activity vehicles. The room was nice and open with a couch with a pullout sofa and a large bed a refrigerator, a coffee maker. Everything you could need a really nice desk. The furniture, including the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was very clean halls had lots of space so people could pass at the same time without running into each other, lots of seating areas, both on the floors of the hotel, and in the lobby area. In addition, there are a number of conference room, rooms or ballrooms for you to utilize if you wanted to have an event here. They also have an ax, throwing area, escape room, and a bowling area. This is a place you can really have a great experience. It is about 15 to 20 minutes out of Traverse City so you don't have all the traffic and congestion and you can do a lot right here at the hotel or by utilizing their shuttle. A really great property with great people at a very reasonable price for as nice as it is. Just blocks off the beach.

The jacuzzi in the room was definitely a highlight and made the stay feel relaxing. That being said, the balcony was pretty disappointing. We were on the first floor and it was really small with plastic chairs and no sunlight, so we didn't end up using it at all. It felt a bit misleading compared to how it looked on the website but we didn't care too much.. We did enjoy the pool and hot tub, and overall the place has more of an older, vintage feel. The staff were really nice and anytime we requested something it was handled quickly and everything went smoothly. I would consider staying again, but I would maybe skip the balcony next time.

Our second night we had the Aji tuna dinner, fried artichokes and prime rib sliders with a homemade horseradish sauce/aujou . My sister lived in California for over 30 years.

Renters BEWARE!!!! I would not recommend renting the Aspen cabin from Jeff with Crystal Adventures!…read moreWe had a horrible experience at this cabin.

The kitchen is also not a full kitchen as advertised. of the two bedrooms, one of them does not have heat, and the other one has a hidden baseboard heater which you are not made aware of. This resulted in us sleeping without heat before the first night. The bathrooms are absolutely filthy. Only 2 of us (out of 6 people) showered the entire weekend as the showers were very unclean. We had dog hair in the sheets of our bed. We realize mistakes can happen with cleaners so tried to work with the property owner, Jeff in hopes of working something out and issuing a partial refund for everything we encountered last weekend. He was very unprofessional and left us no choice but to contact AirBNB for help. After seeing our photos and videos, they agreed that we deserved a partial refund.
