Park Place Hotel and Conference Center

The Park Place is in a fabulous location downtown Traverse City with so many things in walking distance. The hotel is a little bit dated. The rooms could definitely use a refresh, especially the bathrooms and beds. Saying that, the overall experience and staff are very good and worth the cost. I have stayed here a few time and appreciate the value and professionalism and friendliness of the staff.

We had our rehearsal dinner here - and it was AMAZING!!!! The view from the top during peak color, made it so memorable! Working with Scott and his crew the night of made everything flawless. They worked with us to make the evening perfect! I did put "Rooms" as 3 - star because the Top of the Park is amazing but we did not stay in their hotel rooms. We received so many different compliments on our rehearsal dinner - it was the best way to kick off wedding weekend!

We stayed only one night but we were pleased with the accommodations. Check-in staff was super helpful and quick even with a conference held in the hotel. The hotel could use a good cleaning and a refresh of the restaurant. Location is great. You can easily walk to front street shops or anywhere downtown. We are definitely coming back for a longer stay.

I hosted a memorial visitation and luncheon at the Park Place to honor my grandmother. The staff, location, food, and service were all exceptional. I live locally in Traverse City and have always heard great things about hosting events at the Park Place, but this was my first time. I would absolutely host another event there and recommend it to anyone needing a venue. Sasha, in particular, has exceptional customer service skills. She made sure everything was set up and ran smoothly for both events. Scott, the catering manager, was also a joy to work with. He had excellent recommendations and helped guide me through the entire planning process. Everyone who attended both events was blown away by the view and the food! Planning for a memorial service of course can be challenging, but the staff at the Park Place helped navigate through all of the details and made it as easy for me as possible. I will always be grateful for how special the services were they provided for me and for my family.

5 STARS for my experience. Yesterday was my 70th birthday and upon checking in the clerk asked if we were here for any special occasion. My husband said yes and that it was my 70th birthday. The clerk was so kind, he upgraded us to the most beautiful room I’ve ever stayed in!!!! Plus 2 free drink vouchers for the top floor cocktail bar. Needless to say this all made for a very memorable 70th!!! Thank you, Joanie

Staff is very helpful. Rooms are clean. Nice to have an extra sink outside of the bathroom. Loved having a mini fridge and microwave. Picked up takeout from Minerva's after a long day driving. It was exceptional.

We chose this hotel because of its historic character and were really looking forward to the experience. Unfortunately, the significant wear and tear throughout the property took away from what should have been a special stay. We paid a premium price for our room, yet it felt more comparable to a budget hotel rather than a historic property with character and charm. The restaurant also showed noticeable signs of neglect. Our breakfast table was in such worn condition that it genuinely felt uncomfortable to sit at, giving the impression of being unclean due to age and deterioration. This was disappointing, especially in a setting that should celebrate its history with pride and care. That said, the staff deserves sincere recognition. Everyone we interacted with was extremely kind, welcoming, and efficient, which truly made a difference in our stay. I hope there are plans in place to invest in updates and maintenance, as this building clearly has great potential. With proper care, it could once again reflect the historic quality and experience that guests expect — especially at premium prices.

We use conference services for educational programing. The Park Place staff, particularly Scott, has always been attentive and accommodating. Aleyeah our most recent server was perfection. We appreciate co-hosting these educational events with Park Place and will continue to do so.
