Across recent reviews, avid hotel Traverse City by IHG is praised for its new, very clean feel and friendly service, with many guests highlighting a convenient location near the lake, TART trail, and local dining options.

Rooms are modern but often small with minimal storage, though comfortable beds and blackout shades stand out.

Everything excellent. Staff, lobby, amenities, room, cleanliness. Only issue was a motor or something running all night that was fairly noisy on the west side, middle of hotel.

The property was exactly what we had hoped for; a clean hotel with good service and decent amenities. We would certainly stay here again if we are in the area

This is true to brand. Room and facilities were clean and comfortable. We did not try the pool, it looked small and clean. I was expecting to see the lake better but could just barely see it. The water pressure in the room wasn’t great, otherwise everything was as expected.

This is a newer property in a great area right next to the lake and minutes from downtown Traverse City. It’s got an indoor pool, gym and free breakfast. The rooms are fine, there’s a nice sized smart tv in each. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the rooms our shower was dirty and there were a lot of lady bugs and flies in our room. We were so busy and only in the room to sleep. If we weren’t then I’d consider somewhere else.

The property is a good value. The bathroom Could have been cleaner, and we had to ask for extra towels and toilet paper. They only gave us two rolls of toilet paper and 3 towels for four people staying two nights. The breakfast section was great. Plenty to choose from. Overall I would stay again.

We let cleaning service in our room second day to get clean towels. Did a great job cleaning but left 2 dirty washcloths and did not refill body was dispenser. Room was smaller then expected and no closet or chest of drawers for our cloths, this was very disappointing. We ended up shortening our stay by 3 days and went somewhere else.

The Avid chain is new and is basically a copy of contemporary European budget business hotels with some American-style downgrades and upgrades. You get a meager breakfast, but you get a huge TV. It’s an OK chain for an overnight business stay off the highway but Traverse City is a vacation spot. The rooms are tiny and there is no storage. You get four hangers on hooks on a wall. That’s it. You get one desk chair and a bed. Basically, you’re forced to live out of your suitcase in an austere not at all homey hotel. Plus in Traverse City, the room rates are high, not at all budget. The place is clean and the staff is friendly, but this is an odd duck of a hotel in a town where you want to relax and unwind for a few days.

The rooms are very small. The decor is sterile and gray. There is a big tv but a tiny desk. So working in your room is a little cramped. While the breakfast is free, it’s not very good. The hot foods were all cold. The coffee machine make fresh coffee but they are very slow so there is line waiting to make their cup. It was my first time at this property, I will likely never stay at another one.

Very new looking hotel. Lobby looks clean. Staff were super nice! Road noise was kind of loud. There was a much louder noise in the bathroom. Was not disturbed for sleep but annoyed while getting ready for the day. Not bad for the price. Not great for the noise.

My two FAVORITE things: 1. The window covering actually keeps ALL of the light out! (It's encased in a track so NO LIGHT sneaks in!) Yay! 2. The "do not disturb" sign is actually a MAGNET to stick to the door frame and not an annoying door hanger that falls off every time you open the door! The breakfast was average - maybe a little below expectations (very watery orange juice and no waffle-making station).

I’ve stayed here a lot recently. And the rooms are great, it’s so quiet & the customer service is fantastic. I’ve asked to change rooms and it was absolutely no problem the desk agent came up to switch out my room key so I didn’t have to take my luggage downstairs then back up again. The breakfast is great & the coffee is 💯

Great place for the price. Our room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillows. We didn’t really utilize the breakfast but it was nice just to grab a banana or a cup of coffee. The egg bites were just as good as what you’d get at Starbucks. There was also an employee, Lisa, who was always cleaning the lobby, and paying so much attention to small details. We didn’t hear any loud noises even though our room was near an elevator. Any staff we ran across were helpful and friendly.
