Hotel Perry

10/10 Excellent
"we had a lovely stay at the Perry. everything was very neat and clean. the building is old, so there are obvious signs of that if you look for them, but it’s a beautiful property and likely part of the charm if you’ve sought this place out. the staff was friendly and courteous. the location allows for walkable access to the shops and restaurants downtown, which made for a nice sense of coming and going as needed; we didn’t move our car until our stay was over. we had a balcony room on the top floor so it was very quiet. seated at the edge of town, this is a great spot to stay if you’re looking to hang out in Petoskey proper. you can walk everywhere and have a base to come back to when it’s time to recharge. we loved it and thought it felt like escaping to a little city on the water."
