While the hotel is overall decent. Large rooms, nice views, friendly front desk and valet.
However, there were a few hiccups on our recent stay at the Indigo Traverse City.
1) One of our rooms had not been properly cleaned. Dirty table, shower and fridge. No towels in the bathroom; as well as a couple of appliances not working, like a phone and the fireplace.
I pointed this issue to the front desk and they remedied the situation promptly.
2) On New Years Eve, after coming back from the cherry drop with my family, I decided to stop by the hotel bar. The bar tender refused to serve me a drink saying I was slurring. The problem is that I actually was sober and believe that he "mistook" my accent for a slurred speech.
This was a surreal situation, but I just left, not wanting to escalate things.
Is that bartender completely incompetent and can't tell the difference between a drunk and a foreign accent? Is he bigoted?
I reported this incident to the guy working the front desk that night; as well as to the manager the next morning.
I am not sure management ended up talking to him. But that bar tender certainly need some sort of training.

We had a wonderful three day stay here. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful with an open shower and stone floors. The room was a bit dark and the desk/dresser surface was a bit chipped. But aside from hhese two negatives, this was a very comfortable stay. Our dog was comfortable as well and we appreciated the pet friendly vibe. We’d definitely stay again!

Beautiful view, comfortable beds, bathroom was gross hair all over the floor and shower, hair left on "clean" washcloths, cobwebs in room and everything needed a good dusting. Here's just a few pictures. I get it that it's off season but shouldn't effect the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms.

I stayed at the hotel in mid December 2025, definitely the off-season for Traverse City. Although the Google Maps directions were slightly confusing, I found the hotel easily enough, unloaded and checked in. (Note that parking is extra and ONLY valet parking is available.)
The rooms are GORGEOUS and spacious with lovely decorations. I took several photos and friends raved about the look.
Everyone in the hotel was warm and welcoming, which isn't always the case for me. (As a very tall transgender woman I sometimes get double takes or blank stares - instead at Hotel Indigo I got warm smiles and friendly faces.)
I did not eat at the hotel restaurants, but it's an easy walk to the main drag in the downtown area (even in the cold December weather!) with lots of pubs and restaurants.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend the hotel.
