    Complimentary s'mores packets were provided at the front desk and many places to roast them and watch the sunset.
    Frances B.

    From the beginning to the end, we were blown away by a fantastic stay at the Delamar, making us feel we'd been whisked away to a tropical resort. To start, Becky checked us in, making us feel comfortable first away. Complimentary sparkling wine took the edge off the long drive and Becky helpfully explained all the amenities, hours, etc. The hotel boasts two beautiful pools: indoor and outdoor. Indoor has fun paper lantern like balls on the ceiling and a green wall with 3D plants coming out. Also has a hot tub sharing a wall with pool so I could talk with hubby while I was swimming and he was in hot tub. Outdoor has lights strung on top with changing colors in the water and cabanas (first come first serve). Both open until 11p. The artisan restaurant is a bit pricey and fancy so we didn't try it, opting for brewpubs in town. Three tiers of rooms. Standard looks over parking lot and might see some of the lake. Pool overlooks the pool area which is very pretty. Our room had bay view so we could watch the waves. Although the sound barrier is incredible. We couldn't hear the water but also didn't have to hear the construction at all despite it being on the street on the front of the hotel! I'm typically very bothered by noise and could hear nothing at all, not even other hotel guests through the walls. However, the HVAC system seemed to always be on so the fan seemed constant. My husband loved the white noise. I didn't like the noise nor did I like the fan blowing on me constantly at night. The sink is deep in the bathroom, allowing for easy water bottle filling. And the soap is luxurious , so I didn't need to use lotion after wards. Shower pressure is decent. Walk in shower. Breakfast is complimentary and designed as a grab and go. I'd rather have had the option of reusable silverware, coffee mug , plates etc. but everything was disposable. It also meant that , at least during the week when we were there, the selection of food was minimal. Although more options would have been nice, the items provided were delicious. The granola was our favorite. There was no 2% milk nor skim but there was whole milk as well as oat. I poured the milk into a paper cup, added granola, to make cereal. Fruit was plentiful and fresh. Croissants were good although I thought the vegan muffin was too dense. Coffee was well brewed albeit a bit bitter for my preference. My husband said the hot water tasted like coffee so it was hard for him to make his green tea in the morning. The staff were courteous and constantly refilling everything. Our favorite aspects of the hotel were the myriad of different places to chill. The main lounge had a gas fireplace, complimentary board games, tables, couches etc. but there were also chairs and tables scattered in hallways and nooks so there was always somewhere to relax. Outside there were two main areas to relax, in addition to the bar area complete with bocce ball. Both areas had a lovely view of the sunset over the water, and had comfy chairs and couches around gas lit fireplaces which many of us roasted marshmallows for complimentary s'mores. There's also a beach on property with swimming. We enjoyed watching a mama duck take her little baby ducklings for a walk or a swim along the beach. All in all, with the discount provided for those living in surrounding states, this hotel was spectacular for the price.

    Awesome hotel! Updated and modern. Tons of parking out front of the hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Nice touch with complimentary glass of bubbly as you check-in. Complimentary breakfast in the morning which was pretty good for free! Pastries, juices, fruit, hot breakfast sandwich, and overnight oats to name a few. Tons of cozy seating to enjoy your breakfast. The hotel is directly on the water which provides wonderful views! Two pools - one indoor and one outdoor. The outdoor pool had great cabanas and lots of seating. Beach seating along the coastline as well. The beach is not very large but large enough for some longue chairs. Our room was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was nicely done with tile and large to move around in. The room had a refrigerator and tons of stuff in the mini bar. Our room was large enough to have a couch and desk. Love that the floors were a hard surface and not gross carpet. Great stay!

    Had a great stay here when we were stranded in TC for two days due to several flight delays and cancellations. Pros: - 2 pools: one outdoor and one indoor. Both a little small but fine. - Hot tub whirlpool inside and sauna - Free breakfast, including sausage egg and cheese sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, etc. - Free coffee in the lounge all day (but sometimes they forget to put it out so you have to remind them) - Fridge in the room and option for a tea kettle - Bvulgari toiletries in the rooms - Free fiji water bottles in the room and gym - Onsite dining at the waterfront restaurant (very expensive though for average food) - Onsite gym with peloton bike, two treadmills, and some hand weights (but it's fairly small and stuffy inside) - Free shuttle service to airport and downtown - Board games and s'mores in the lounge - Common lounge with tables to do work (was fine most of the day but got loud in the afternoon) - 3 water sports vendors in the parking lot for kayaks, jet skis, boats, etc. - outdoor patio dining with drinks, lunch, and light snacks (enjoyed the fish tacos) Cons: - No business center or area that is guaranteed to be quiet to take calls. - Had trouble reaching the front desk and guest services when I called from my room. Called both lines multiple times and it just rang endlessly. I gave up and just went downstairs to the front desk. - There was an on site bistro but it was closed the entire time. - Not really walking distance to much except 3 fast food chains (McDonald's, KFC, and Taco Bell)

    Don't judge a book by its cover. The building façade is old architecture, we were reluctant to use the hotel, but was recommended by the tourism office. We went into the lobby and we were very pleasantly surprised. I received a Michigan discount, we were handed a glass champagne(OK sparkling wine). Very welcoming. The lobby is very open, sitting area with a fire, indoor pool. Outside areas with fires in mid September the gardens were just spectacular and very calming after a long drive. So Peaceful. The room was beautiful. I did note a on a few items need repair but other than that totally acceptable. I was not impressed with the breakfast. Four dollars for a bad cup of coffee. Options were limited. They also offered a shuttle service to areas around Traverse City although we did not take up the offer.

    Since our last stay, Delamar has added a complimentary breakfast at Artisan as well as a complimentary shuttle service from the hotel to anywhere downtown Traverse City within 2 miles of the hotel. They just keep getting better and better!

    Always such a wonderful experience! Enjoyed the complimentary champagne at check in the aroma that pumps throughout and the wonderful staff! Got a chance to bring my best friends and our spouses along for Valentine's Day Weekend! Can't wait to come back!

    Had such a great stay! There was a ton of construction in front of the hotel. Wish the website would have given a better heads up on that. There was only a statement regarding construction going on in the area so that may increase travel times. I highly suggest you get a lake facing room. Stunning views! The rooms are a great size and were very clean! The bedding was comfy and clean! The bed was decent, but I think that all relates to personal preference. Breakfast was great! Not a whole lot of offerings, but what is there is quality. The multiple pools are really beautiful. I did not swim so I can only speak to how they looked. Hot tub, sauna, all were very clean. I do have to say that it seems that the housekeeping staff seem to really care here. Makes a big difference in a stay! Quite a few great amenities as well as one of the best restaurants in the area on site! Overall there were a couple of hiccups in our stay that I won't disclose here because the bulk of the stay was positive. One negative I will mention...the walls seemed pretty thin. I could hear my neighbors as if they were in my room.

    Chris on guitar... just beautiful.   Love this place

    Previous we were looking for a couple nights in Traverse City to listen to some music downtown and we came upon our old stomping grounds which was the Holiday Inn now the Delamar and decided to check it out. I couldn't tell you what a pleasant experience this was and we're not checked out yet but getting a glass of white sparkling wine at check-in won my heart over. Everything about the place was great including Chris at guitar in the lounge and the outdoor pool heated in the middle of winter. It's all first class and you were a very pleasant surprise. Coming from a property management and real estate background ...I will just say Well Done D Team. From the Straits of Mackinac..2 hours north

    Totally useless shower head

    Last day update: I'd give zero to this hotel if I could. They never informed us they'd be doing fire alarm testing. 1. I thought the hotel was on fire 2. The fire alarm keeps going off. I'm so done guys. I left the hotel crying. Don't make the same mistake I did. Firstly, this is not a luxury hotel with a luxury experience. It's a Big meh. It's too bad too because I was really excited for my weekend. The hotel leaves a lot to be desired. Firstly, everything is really worn out and there is no love in the hotel. It looks neglected-especially the furniture. The hotel reminds me of a Days Inn. It would be a nice hotel if you've never been to a nice hotel. If you have, get ready to be so disappointed. The cost does not match the experience. I'd much rather pay a Days Inn with no expectations than pay a little extra to be let down. The shower is the worst. It's a rain-type shower but it has no pressure and there is no shower door. The bathroom door slides and constantly comes off its rail. Also, there is no fan in the bathroom and the sliding door does nothing for any smells that may happen in there. The blankets are light, like sleeping covered in paper. There is nothing free but coffee in the room but plenty of overpriced things to accidentally eat. For example, the one shot of vodka in there that is $15. It's all a big meh. I come to traverse city a lot so I know there are better places to stay. Back to Airbnb for me I'll post some pics of this worn out hotel before I leave.

    Hot tub and heated indoor pool
    Apryl W.

    We enjoyed our stay here. The hotel staff were very kind and attentive, the rooms and hotel were very clean (we saw them cleaning around the clock) and the grounds and very well looked after. Both pools were clean (and heated!). The hot tub was a little noisy but it still worked well and was relaxing. The included breakfast could have been a little more substantial but it got the job done. Free parking on site in addition to valet is a plus!

    It's no longer a Holiday Inn. So be careful with the name. Excellent location, right at the beginning of downtown. Busy Street with no cross walk so be careful! Be advised this is a hotel where you can hear everything. Walking in the hallway you can hear full conversations inside guest rooms. Laying in bed I could hear someone using the bathroom next door. It is loud with zero privacy. Two beds with nice bedding. Zero chairs or sitting room. Bathroom is a closet, only big enough for one person to turn around. Mini fridge was helpful. $20 extra for this partial view of the bay. Clearly under construction. Beware of the parking lot pot holes. Also the third & forth floors were a hike to a second set of elevators after walking the entire second floor.

    Such a great place on the water! A little cloudy the day we were there but didn't detract from the experience. The hotel is nicely updated and has some great amenities. In contrast to the supposed 5 star hotel we started at in NYC the week before, Delamar had in room coffee, rain shower showerhead, heated mirror to prevent fogging, and many more options not normally seen in hotels these days. Staff was very friendly and bartenders were fabulous! The proximity to TC wineries was perfect as well.

No worries, she had a walker, so a disaster was averted. I did let the front desk know, and they were aware of it, and stated that the location is due for updating soon, and that will be fixed. Checking into her room, Rm 214, it was massive, and I was very impressed by all the handrails in the bathroom. There were some negatives of the room though, there were only light switches right by the door when you walked it, and then only on the lamps throughout the room. My mother got up in the middle of the night and couldn't find a way to turn on any lights and had to call down to the front desk. The other negative was that the door of the bathroom, which is immediately to the right of the room door, when opened prevented you from entering the room. My mother has balance issues and called me to come in the room to help her out of the tub, and because she left the bathroom door open, I could not access the room. Her friend was sleeping but could come let me in after she heard me knocking. The next negative is the lack of wastebin liners. I spoke to the front desk and they told me it was company policy in an attempt to be 'greener'. Although I love this sentiment, I hated the smell of my food garbage permeating my room, and ended up walking it down to the lined trash bin next to the ice machine. Myself, and several other patrons staying at your facility, found ourselves requesting laundry bags so we could line our trash bins ourselves. I know they can be pricey, but may I suggest keeping biodegradable trash Bags on hand for those customers who request liners for their bins, rather than putting them in every room at every turnover? That is the end of my negative feedback, I rarely, if ever, enter public pools or spas, and annoyingly enough for my travel companions, I travel with a pool testing kit in my car because of my job. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the pool & spa, and they tested spot on, so I gave my blessing to the members of our party to go ahead and enjoy. I was upset that the first, and only time, we ate at the in-house restaurant/bistro, was after checking out. We had the most fabulous breakfast! Lastly, and most importantly, I would like to sing the praises of the staff at this location. They were always friendly, professional, and very helpful. My mother lost a nut from her walker, which was preventing her from using it. I brought the walker to the front desk hoping they might have a maintenance room where a spare nut could be located. I then had 6 people on the case. Jack, Josh, Laura, Alexandria, Pete and Rin. I was so astounded and appreciative that so many people were on the case. A nut was found, but didn't fit right, and wouldn't stay in place, so Pete & Josh went looking more thoroughly and found something that would fit AND stay in place. They fixed my mother's walker, which she is pretty much lost without. This level of service AMAZED me.

Nice common area with a fireplace and comfy couches. The views were amazing. Cons: The front desk staff seems unhappy and passes that along to you. As other reviewers have mentioned, they aren't flexible when it comes to changing your stay or checking in/out earlier than the stated times, so make sure your plans are very solid before booking, even in the dead of winter. Parking is very limited. We were expecting guests to drop by for a quick visit (two hours tops) and asked where they could park. We were directed across US-31 (a busy four-lane thoroughfare) to an overflow lot. We asked if there was anything closer, as one person is in a wheelchair, but they didn't budge. (The parking lot in front of the hotel was empty except for our car at that point.)

The styling is craftsman and is holding up nicely despite the harsh winters and water. Rooms are nicely maintained but the furniture is showing some wear. It was clean and well organized and it felt safe. Access to the beach is easy and each unit has a patio. Views are stellar and it's well worth the price.

The room itself was nice with a larger refrigerator and an extra sink outside the bathroom which is handy. There is a large indoor pool which we didn't use but it looked inviting. The location is close enough to downtown and all of the shops and restaurants that you can walk - under a mile each way. They also have a shuttle bus that on request will take you into town which we used one night when we decided we would only walk back.
