Sugar Beach Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Location was perfect, waking up on the water front was a plus. The pool had a 5 ft depth, which was great, as well as a relaxing hot tub. Breakfast delivered to our room per the request placed nightly at the front desk was handy. I could eat while still in my pajamas while watching the ducks and sea gulls on the beach."

"Cozy cabin on a quiet lake. There is a short, incline with small pebbles from parking area to cabin. Great firepit area. Perfect location; we were able to check out Traverse City, Petosky, Charlevoix, and area around Torch lake. Thought it was odd that cabin did not have any places to hang clothes or wet towels (only one small towel bar in bathroom, no hooks anywhere in cabin). Also kitchen not very conducive to cooking due to lack of counter space."

"Beautiful view on the lake and direct access to the walkable downtown district within 10 minutes. Didn't use amenities much and no real options for breakfast without paying high prices for a preprocessed sandwich so look to downtown for better options such as the Town Plaza. Room was adequate but wasn't able to get a King so wife and I slept separately, which I thought was odd for the shoulder season."
