Summary: Room was fine but over-priced for what it is. Tub drain broken, cracked sink, dripping faucet. Fine for one night stay close to everything in Sleeping Bear.
Lori Sep 22, 2026 11:27:15 PM
Summary: The property was very clean and well kept

Summary: This was my favorite overnight stop despite the lack of a pool. The bedding was clean with no faint oily smelling pillows common most everywhere else. The room was sparkling. The coffee fixings were the best. It is not located in the center of things which means there is less traffic noise. It is only 5-6 miles from Headlands Park and the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes Park and only 7-8 miles from Glen Arbor. When I return for star gazing I will stay here again.

Summary: My husband and I travel to Empire every September for a few days. We love this staying here. Nice beach within walking distance. Also close to many other activities. Food options are the only thing lacking in the area.

Summary: The property was nice and location was great. It could have been cleaner but we didn't spend much time in the room. The ice machine was located across the street and so not convenient. Did not have a smart tv so we couldn't watch Prime at night. But it is within walking to the beach on Lake Michigan. Great sunsets.

Summary: The room was clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Definitely stay here if you're exploring the area.
