Superior hotel right on Lake Michigan. Super peaceful and quiet. The lake was clear and lots of room to spread out. The ducks walk right up to you! Sand was clean and well kept. Room was colorful and had a balcony with seating. Didnt spend much time in the room, other than to sleep, shower, and eat. Free breakfast is what you’d expect a free breakfast to be, just make sure to leave your choice in the basket before bed! Free coffee in the lobby too along with a pool, mini arcade, and fitness center. Can’t wait to come back, truly a gem! ?

We had an amazing time for our 3 day stay. We've visited SB on more than one occasion but this one was the best yet! The resort is in great driving distances to so many great activities and attractions (mission pt. Lighthouse & Beach, Mission Flowers, the Commons). You won't be disappointed to grab your next getaway at Sugar Beach! The waterfront views will just melt your heart! The staff were so courteous and accommodating which made for a more peaceful stay. Thank you to the staff and management for an excellent experience!

3 night stay. Overall my stay was good. Room was clean & bed was nice and soft. Sleep good. My only issue was that for a smoke free property. It wasn't very smoke free. Could not enjoy my balcony view due to other guest smoking on their balcony. Reported it to management. But nothing was really done about it.

My girlfriend and I had the privilege of staying here for 3 nights. The staff was so fantastic. I interacted with a couple different staff members and felt they wanted to go above and beyond to make sure our stay was great. They offered boxed breakfast to your room every morning, just filling out a card and returning it. I even had flowers delivered to our room before arrival and they took care of the rest. You have access to beach and beach chairs. 5-10 minute drive to downtown. Why I am marking it down though is the cobwebs on the chairs and table on our balcony as well as the beach chairs. And I know they can't control the bugs but there were a lot of bugs out on the balcony. Finding ways to improve that will make it more enjoyable. I guess the webs collected the bugs, which helps solve the bug problem haha. Power washing the balconies would go a long way for guests.

The hotel is nice enough, but I will say that it is not above a 3 star location. I think labeling it a resort is misleading. It makes it seem like it’s going to be nicer than it is. The included breakfast is is essentially gas station stuff. I didn’t get it the second morning as it looked like the sandwhiches were crusted in freezer for longer than someone would like. For the price point, I think you over pay for being on the beach. All they have is some chairs out there. You’re not offered anything else for what you’ve already paid. You have access to boats and kayaks which is nice but you have to rent them through another company. I think at the very least some kayaks should be part of what you pay for. Obviously you wouldn’t expect boat rental at that price but I just don’t see anything that makes this location special. The rooms were simple. Nothing wrong with them but nothing special. We did have to ask them to send someone up to clear the million spiders off the balcony. It’s the beginning of the summer season so I get it but if someone pays for a balcony room I’d expect it to be despidered prior to check in. Lol The men they sent up did a great job, though. They really took their time with it and really tried to make sure they got them all, which I appreciated. The staff were very nice. So, there’s nothing wrong with the place and I definitely recommend it, I just don’t think there’s anything about it that would bring me back. I’m also going to note that it’s time to upgraded the TVs to smart ones. I think the hotel should be in the under 200 range or increase what they offer or improve the quality of what they have. I would stay there again if I needed to, but would probably try out some place else if the option is there.

Gorgeous views , friendly and attentive staff , they have a large pool and hot tub or if thats not your preference, they sit on a sugar sand beach right on the east arm of the Grand Traverse bay. With loungers , chairs and umbrellas to maximize your enjoyment or get that summer tan you cant go wrong at the Sugar Beach Resort . King size pillow top mattresses and beautiful walk out patios take you straight to the beach ?? . It is only minutes from historic downtown Traverse City where there is plenty of shopping to be done in a vast array of stores as well as plenty of places to grab a bite in one of many unique pubs , restaurants , or food trucks available .

We really liked our stay here. The breakfast boxes are genius. More hotels need to do this. Room was clean and spacious bathroom was large. Beautiful view of the lake. We will definitely be back.

We absolutely love this hotel!! When we come to TC this is where we always stay! They have the best of everything!! You won’t be disappointed when you stay here, Staff is wonderful, everyone is so nice. Beds are comfortable, showers have great pressure and feel so good!! It’s very clean. Pool and hot tub and refreshing and relaxing. Plus the lounge for entertainment and food is the best too! You cannot go wrong with staying here!!

Room was clean, but aging. The breakfast was the Worst I could imagine. A box with orange juice, plastic bottle water, cold spotted banana and either cold cereal, a donut, a muffin or some packaged boiled eggs. Kind of lame. The coffee could have been better if you could get some actual cream, not a singular package of a half a teaspoon of powdered creamer. Pool and hot tub were nice. I was just really let down by the breakfast. If I paid summer prices and got that, id be really disappointed

We really enjoyed our stay at Sugar Beach. Our admin person. Joshua was really friendly from the beginning and took care of the reservation and he was very clear and very informative about all the steps in and insured that we were very well informed about everything our beachfront room was really clean and very nice and the view was great.. We use the pool and the Jacuzzi and everything was super clean. We really appreciate the stay and it was really nice.
