“Howard Johnson By Wyndham Traverse City stands out for its family-oriented approach and proximity to East Bay Park, making it convenient for holiday getaways; plus, the seasonal heated outdoor pool and picnic areas provide pleasant spots for relaxation. Free breakfast and complimentary WiFi add value, although recent feedback suggests inconsistent upkeep. I think that active management could easily restore this location as a reliable choice.”
