Park Place Hotel

Disappointed by Security Oversight Despite Great Location We recently stayed at the Park Place Hotel in Traverse City. While the hotel itself feels a bit dated, it was clean and the room—though small—was fine for simply resting after a day of exploring. Unfortunately, our experience took a concerning turn. After a full day trip to Mackinac Island, we returned to our room on the second night to find the door wide open, held ajar by the security latch. It appeared that housekeeping had started cleaning but never finished—and most worryingly, they left the room unsecured with all our personal belongings inside. Anyone could have walked in. We immediately notified the front desk, but all they did was take note of the issue. Upon checkout the next day, we received a simple “sorry,” but no real apology or effort to make things right. We booked through Expedia and paid a bit less than the standard rate, but it was still far from cheap. We chose this hotel for its reputation and central location, expecting a secure and professional experience. Sadly, we left feeling that guest safety wasn’t a priority here. We won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others who value peace of mind while traveling.

Location is perfect with parking on site. Showers are a bit outdated and if you’re even 6 feet tall you have to crouch down because it’s very low. Everything else was great, will definitely be back

1960s theme room. Not good

The primary reason for selecting the Park Place was its location. While its 'off' the main areas of interest, its only a few minute walk to this area. So for us, it was location. Overall, the stay was excellent. The people we interacted with in the restaurant and the check in/out were friendly, quick to assist. Highly recommend this hotel if you prefer the freedom to walk to the main downtown area, or the Opera House or even over to the Hagerty Center (yes, both were on our agenda for events). Location was perfect for us.

Great staff.

Wonderful mattress!

Pros- Nice central location , most everything in downtown TC is in walking distance, comfortable bed and clean room. Cons - seemed understaffed and those who were present didn't seem to enjoy their jobs, you can tell it's an older hotel, several amenities either not functional (hot tub, Internet) or slightly off as to be noticeable/annoying (key card, toilet seat, closet door, elevator), expensive compared to other places in the area.

Location is very convenient to dining, shopping.

Excellent place to stay. No fan in bathroom ... so it was a bit musty. Staff excellent!

Clean and professional
