Top Mancelona Hotel Reviews

All Seasons Resort

8/10 Good

"Basic room good for short stay. Breakfast was disappointing."

Boyne Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Chalet Edelweiss and were very pleasantly surprised with the size of the room and the ammenities offered. Upon checkin we received our unlimited passes for the Ski-lift and Skybridge, along with free bike rentals, yoga classes and fun Chalet activities. When we came back to our room after dinner we found smore's kits for each of us along with our own sticks to toast them at the fire right outside our door. We had a great weekend enjoying the area and staying on Boyne property."

Sleep Inn & Suites Bay View Acme - Traverse City

8/10 Good

"Love the location, great breakfast, great outdoor seating and great staff. My only note to mention is that the walls are so thin and the toilets are so loud. Every time a person opened their door or used their toilet, it felt like they were in our room. I will definitely stay here again, but will bring ear plugs! lol."

Cherry Tree Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"So my family and I have been staying at Sherry tree suites for over five years. My main thing with them is that when I try to book directly with them, it’s so much more money so I had to book with Expedia this year. There’s no discount or they say there is but it’s still $100 more a night than what I got on Expedia very frustrating. I don’t feel they value their returning customers one big issue we had this year is in the past years. They’ve had standup paddle boards for the kids to use they had to five years ago and then it dwindle down to one last year this year we showed up and nothing. They said you have to rent them. It’s $100 a day. This should’ve been on their website if you’re taking amenities away, please change your website and previous years they had five fire pits. They had three Wood fire pits and two propane fire pits last year. There were no propane fire pits. There were only three fire pits for the whole property so basically everybody is trying to do s’mores on the three fire pits. How expensive can a fire pit be? Other than that, my kids love going there. I will probably always book through Expedia. Hopefully we can get the same rate. The place is clean. The water is shallow. They give you towels for the pool. Both pools are well-maintained. The indoor pool can be rough with the chlorine smell. They have breakfast in the morning just kind of your basic. Their website is still talking about Covid, which is strange."

Best Western Gaylord

10/10 Excellent

"Was there for a business trip. 2 nights, 3 rooms. Check in was easy, breakfast was fine. Rooms were clean. Hot tub and pool were good. The hot tub was hot, the jets were strong, and it was clean. The 2nd night, the hot tub was tepid, so we alerted the staff. Evidently, a breaker had flipped, but they fixed it and the issue was fixed within the hour."

Travelodge by Wyndham Gaylord

8/10 Good

"The facility is a little rundown. Some efforts of repair were underway. But if you don't mind that, it is perfectly reasonable. Room was clean, bed and pillows were comfortable. TV and channels or better than I expected, bathroom was clean. There was coffee but no coffee maker. There was an ironing board but no iron. But if you can overlook some of these items, the price was very reasonable for the area."
