Gold Coast Inn - At The Bay In Traverse City

The hotel operates with a fully contactless self check-in system that requires an online identity scan and door codes sent via email. Guests communicate with the virtual front desk through text messages for any requests, from extra towels to maintenance issues. This setup eliminates on-site staff presence and allows for private, low-interaction stays.

Each guest room has a private bathroom with a shower, air conditioning, and a flat-screen TV. Rooms include a work desk, a refrigerator, and a microwave for storing and heating food. The bay-view rooms offer direct sightlines over the water from the room window.

The hotel offers a shared lounge and a fully equipped kitchen on each floor for guest use. Outdoor areas include a back deck with a grill, patio seating, and direct access to a walking trail behind the property. The first-floor lobby provides grab-and-go breakfast items such as granola bars, oatmeal, and coffee pods.

The hotel is pet-friendly and accepts dogs with prior arrangement and an additional pet tax. Guests must keep their pets in a diaper while inside the property and clean up after them. Cleaning fees may be applied if damage or soiling is detected after checkout.

The hotel is situated 4 km from Cherry Capital Airport and offers free private parking on-site. It provides convenient access to Traverse City State Park, Clinch Park, and Kresge Auditorium within a short drive.
