Empire is the HQ and gateway to Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, which is terrific. Empire Beach itself is excellent. Wine, fruit stands, trails - love the location.

We Arrived earlier than the check in time and they let us get our room early. Very Helpful! Will definitely return and stay there! Town is very friendly and the area is Beautiful!

Was not made aware of breakfast. Would have been nice.

We arrived late but had called to arrange for keys to be left. The lady was very pleasant. The room was nicely decorated and clean. Some small finishing touches were missing... baseboard along bathroom floor to hide edges of floor etc, but otherwise, beautiful room.

The room was in an older building which was much quieter than the very noisy new building where we picked up keys. The stairs were very worn and tilted to one side but that was ok. Sink area was outside main bathroom and was spacious.

Quiet. Newer. Close to the visitor center. Easy to check in and out. We were able to park right outside our door after one of our trips from the hotel so it made packing up the vehicle super easy in the morning. Our key was left in the mailbox by the office in a sealed envelope, with my name on it because we arrived after check-in time.

clean and well maintained. staff was friendly and helpful. close to gas station, food, small shops, and a short walk to the beach.

Clean and no perfume in room or bedding. Close to where we needed to be.

Location was good. No breakfast included. Room was modern and clean, room service came and cleaned while gone.

Property was extremely clean. beds were comfortable. Located close to restaurants. Staff was very helpful.
