What we did not like is the "peak pricing" sliding scale. We know its a small, boutique hotel, but to go from $129 to $172 in 2 days.. that's a 33% increase. I could understand if we were in a major metro area over a holiday.. but this was just a regular weekend, and not in a 5 star hotel. Sad, what the industry has (corporately) come to! ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### B.

Wonderful view of the bay and the grounds were beautiful. No television which was no concern but bring a good book with you. Older crowd but very friendly. ##### Debra Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved the charming hotel, gorgeous views of Little Traverse Bay and courteous staff. Renovations have made this historic landmark quite comfortable. We were able to easily ride our bikes into Petosky and to the State Park. Our room (which faced highway 31) was a bit noisier than expected. ##### Stephen Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Super 8 by Wyndham Petoskey](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Super-8.h1109.Hotel-Information) - [Inn at Bay Harbor, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Inn-At-Bay-Harbor.h200771.Hotel-Information) - [Perry Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Staffords-Perry-Hotel.h2804175.Hotel-Information) - [Odawa Hotel](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Odawa-Hotel.h11901899.Hotel-Information) - [Village Suites Bay Harbor](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Village-Suites-Bay-Harbor.h848356.Hotel-Information) - [Americinn by Wyndham Petoskey](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-AmericInn-By-Wyndham-Petoskey.h459372.Hotel-Information) - [Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Petoskey](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Petoskey.h854790.Hotel-Information) - [Days Inn by Wyndham Petoskey](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Petoskey.h1590026.Hotel-Information) - [Apple Tree Inn, SureStay Collection by Best Western](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Apple-Tree-Inn.h807577.Hotel-Information) - [Quality Inn Petoskey-Harbor Springs](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Quality-Inn.h18932.Hotel-Information) - [Terrace Inn and 1911 Restaurant](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Terrace-Inn-And-1911-Restaurant.h1171720.Hotel-Information) - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Petoskey by IHG](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Petoskey.h1705835.Hotel-Information) - [Baymont by Wyndham Petoskey](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Michigan-Inn-Lodge.h921825.Hotel-Information) - [Courtyard by Marriott Petoskey at Victories Square](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Petoskey-At-Victories-Square.h35843010.Hotel-Information) - [Bay Inn of Petoskey](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Bay-Inn-Of-Petoskey.h3034731.Hotel-Information) - [Colonial Inn in Harbor Springs](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Colonial-Inn-In-Harbor-Springs.h1550150.Hotel-Information) - [Cabin Slps 18 Patio Hot Tub Arcade Ski Pets OK](https://www.expedia.com/Harbor-Springs-Hotels-Cabin-Slps-18-NEW-PatioHot-TubArcadeSkiPets-Ok.h72621503.Hotel-Information) - [Happy Days and Nights - Frontenac](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Happy-Days-And-Nights-Frontenac.h66539989.Hotel-Information) - [Best Western of Harbor Springs](https://www.expedia.com/Petoskey-Hotels-Best-Western-Of-Harbor-Springs.h7162.Hotel-Information) - [Otis Harbor Springs](https://www.expedia.com/Harbor-Springs-Hotels-OTIS-Harbor-Springs.h102147288.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Emmet County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Emmet-County.d553248635976433038.Flight-Destinations) - [Emmet County Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Emmet-County.d553248635976433038.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Emmet County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Emmet-County.d553248635976433038.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Emmet County Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Emmet-County.d553248635976433038.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Emmet County](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Emmet-County.d553248635976433038.Travel-Guide-Activities)
