A great place to stay while out and about in the Cherry Capital

We picked to stay here because we were intrigued by the history of the building and all the amenities on site. It was a wonderful stay! This is a no-frills studio, but it was perfect for our needs and was much more comfortable than a hotel room. We would stay here again!

This was a lovely room in a quiet, beautiful setting. We enjoyed every moment in this piece of history. There’s so much to do in The Commons that you never have to leave the property. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the room was quiet and peaceful. I can’t wait to come back.

Clean, Key Amenities, and Great Location

Other than the space meeting our expectations, we loved the historic building where it was repurposed for community needs. The on-site shops were fun to explore. Very close to downtown Traverse City. We would definitely stay again!

The perfect little gem of a stay!

I LOVED this location and studio. I could walk everywhere- coffee, food, hiking trails, quiet park. It was SO CLOSE to downtown. And easy access to all the wonderful thing TC has to offer. I enjoyed the patio area and really could stay here over and over! It was perfect for a solo stay and adventure

Perfect spot for short weekend trip!

We were going to meet friends for hiking, and to have a birthday dinner at Stella‘s. It was super cool to just walk right into the Mercado from our little getaway spot. Would definitely stay there again. Well done!

Crazy not to stay here

While it's a very small space, the description was spot on. The location was central to everything in Traverse City plus day trips to lighthouses, tunnel of trees, roadside curiosities, etc. We had a great time.

Cute place

Small apt but was all we needed for our weekend away! We love the history and area around the old hospital, it was definitely cool to stay in the renovated room and check out the little shops and we made a reservation to eat at the Stella restaurant! Check in was easy, the room was very clean and everything we expected.

Comfortable and lovely home base for exploring

A smidge larger than a hotel room, but so much nicer! Comfy bed, beautiful bathroom, great location. We loved having several choices for coffee and breakfast nearby (go to Sugar2Salt if you can!!). One tip—the second parking lot listed (not the fountain entrance) has a ramp into the building, which is much easier for handling luggage.

Had a great 3 day stay here at traverse city. The Asylum area is really fun with lots to do within walking distance. Shops, winery, brewery, hiking, and good food. The room we stayed at was a small studio, but plenty of room for 2. Had everything we needed.

Lol - great little place. The only issue was the elevator operation - we were warned , but it took more than a few times to make it work. Next time we will definitely dine at Stella.
