Convenient place to stay to explore Sleeping Bear Dunes. The room was fine, the bedroom area was very nice. The bathroom was good but could use some updating.

Great location, very comfortable with fully stocked kitchen, and beautiful view. It was a little unsettling to wait for the entrance instruction until 30 minutes before check in, but not a deal breaker. I’m just a planner and last minute is uncomfortable for me.

It was a great clean safe hotel (staying by myselft, I felt safe) The only addition would have been nightstands on both sides of the bed. I recently dislocated my shoulder so It was hard for me to have axcess . Other than that... great!

Verified traveler

A great place to visit for the natural beauty of the m22 area and fabulous wineries and of course the Sleeping Bear dunes. Although we didn't go to the dunes we have been there several times in the past. Just a beautiful area to be in!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

I love this beautiful area - full of nature and many available outdoor activities. Empire seems to be right in the center, between Traverse City and Northport Mi ! You can leave Empire for the day in any direction&you will find good food etc.

5/5 - Excellent

SB

I think it’s a great hotel to stay at if you want to do the Sleeping Bear Dunes, information center is right across the street

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Beautiful sunset on Lake Michigan, and nice beachfront. Town has limited restaurants, and the ice cream store closed early after Labor Day weekend.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Very small, quiet town. Nice antique stores. Close to a very nice beach. Food choices very limited and all were horrible.

4/5 - Good

Jeff

Small town near a nature preserve, it's exactly what you are expecting. Few quaint shops for mom, chocolate shop, bar/pizzaria, cafe, gas station all within a block. 7 minutes away from Sleeping Bear Dunes is nice.
