Restaurants near Motel 6 Traverse City

We’ve eaten lunch there twice and had the calamari, which is some of the best eleven ever had! But we took friends there for dinner, it was happy hour so it was noisy but the food made up for it! One guest had the 4 fish entree and said it was really good, his wife had the maple salmon and ate every bite ( she said the glaze was really sweet but that didn’t stop her enjoying it) my husband had the seafood pot pie and devoured it, he’d get that agin in a heartbeat. I had the parpedelle pasta and it was huge with calamari on top ! Spinach and micro greens were the garnish which I LOVE! Both couples added the house salad to split and it was delicious! We split the lava cake and it was a good choice, it was so good and moist! Can’t wait to go back! Our server was Kayla and she was excellent as well We all had drinks and a bottle of wine , highly recommend the frenzy! Our friend orders old fashions everywhere she goes and she really liked reflect’s, I got the traverse hurricane and it was amazing!

Thoroughly enjoyed the Cozy Cabana experience! It was incredible to have snow gently falling as we enjoyed the warm outdoor pool. Snacks were delicious and hot cocoa was amazing!!! In addition, Lauren was THE BEST server and we so appreciated all her attention to detail. She is DELIGHTFUL!!!

It's a teaching restaurant, so allow 1 ½ hrs for lunch and more for dinner. Classic choices such as the beef bourguignon entree and the soup of Shredded Chicken with fennel and a hint of star anise were very good. No time today to linger for deserts which are superb. Pastry Chef Megan is a pro. Merrill at the bar always has a fun delicious special drink, plus the standard classic cocktails. It's nice to see they now offer a better range of Non-area wines , as well as local wines to please visitors. Wine choices are 8 or so of both whites and reds. Best view of the bay, even on a very snowy day. Beautiful setting.

We enjoyed our thanksgiving dinner today and plan to come back for Christmas dinner also. Server was great and the atmosphere was great.

We went specifically for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was excellent. There was a wide variety of food from breakfast through a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. There was an excellent carving station with roasted turkey and baked Dearborn ham. The sides included excellent stuffing and real mashed potatoes. The salad bar was outstanding in its variety and all of the selections were very good. As usual, the desserts were sumptuous, especially the Apple Streusel although it would have been nice to have some vanilla sauce to top it off. Overall the food was about as hot (warm) as you would expect from a buffet. The service was a little slow initially but after the introduction, it was excellent. We are both very Thankful to the staff who worked during their Thanksgiving day to provide such friendly service.
