Our stay at Cherry Tree was great. Staff was wonderful. Our room on the 4th floor was clean and quiet. Bed was clean and comfortable. The balcony overlooking the bay was a plus as the views were beautiful. My only negative was the carpet in our room could use a shampoo or replacement. Would definitely stay here again if we're in Traverse City, again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We stayed in the Walloon Suite and unfortunately our room was not in great condition. Several lights didn’t work at all. Know that several of the rooms do NOT have a window in them. The staff was great, friendly and accommodating but they were booked so we couldn’t switch rooms. I spend a lot of time in Traverse throughout year and keep a list of places I have stayed for future reference. Unfortunately Cherry Tree will no longer be an option. While it’s great to have a friendly staff, it’s just a very run down place now.

Good location. Great view from the balcony. Nice room. Comfortable bed. Room wasn't ready until almost 2 hours after check in time, which was odd but definitely was clean when we walked in as the floor was still drying. Fitted sheet didn't fit the bed and it was put on upside down so made us wonder if it was even changed, just was weird.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. It is apparent that like hotels these days the housekeeping staff is at a minimum. Therefore, different housekeeping approaches are in place. The days of daily room cleaning and room amenities should not be taken for granted. Our room very very clean. Thank you. The property is older but in very good condition. The breakfast and women who worked there did a FABULOUS job. The location was so convenient and the views were spectacular. Thank you Cherry Hill for a great stay.
