"Loved the lower level, bay view room we had! The sound and view of the water is always healing for the soul! I wish the property had an indoor pool, which might be one reason we don’t choose this on our return. The breakfast being brought to the room was a huge bonus! The lady that checked us in was a doll and very polite, even texted us to make sure our room was to our standards. Great property for the price!"

How can I get cheap hotels in Traverse City?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Traverse City

  1. If you're looking to travel to Traverse City on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $53. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $179. Staying a short amount of time in Traverse City is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Traverse City, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Traverse City, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Traverse City, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
