Stayed in the Fall of 2014 to check out the area during the leaves changing. Great place to stay. The rooms do the trick, nothing fancy, but hey what are you looking for. Flat screen TV, a mini fridge, and great soaps. Yeah I said it most hotels you stay in the soap sucks and theirs along with the shampoo were great.
But all in all this little hotel is in a great location. During our stay we headed to Traverse City for a day, Frankfurt for a day, and headed up to Glen Arbor a couple times to enjoy their nightlife. All of these drives are easy and very scenic.
Now for the dunes, make sure you check out the National Lakeshore scenic drive. It is outstanding, especially the main lookout point over Lake Michigan. You will not be upset at all that you stayed at Empire Lakeshore Inn or that you chose this charming area.response / report this review -

Very quaint Inn within walking distance of beach and short drive from Sleeping Bear. It is a little pricey but it is hard to find inexpensive lodging in this area. The town of Empire is the perfect getaway.

Nice cozy small town hotel to stay and enjoy serenity. The manager there is super friendly and always available. There is no elevator because it only has two floors, people with accessibility needs may ask for main level rooms so no need to use stairs. It is located right in the middle of the town, closer to grocery store which is expensive, and also three restaurants nearby. Short walk to the lake to see sunset views. No breakfast or room service food available. Room had a TV, microwave, fridge, and a kitchen sink. Bathroom was clean.

This place has been home away from home for me for many trips. The owners are always here and the run a tight ship. Always good.

This hotel is in a good location in Empire, near the Village Beach and walking distance to everything in town. The rooms are clean and warm and this is a nice place to relax.

The rooms are clean and have a keurig but the walls are very thin and the hot water had run out by 8am!!

Peaceful stay. The innkeepers were sweet, room was adorably decorated and just what we needed for a quick get away.

My boyfriend and I stayed in the king suite and we loved it! The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was great as well, you can't do better for the price! We'll definitely be coming again.

We stayed at Empire Lakeshore as a last minute booking for an overnight stay. We ended up with the newly remodeled king size bedroom which had many amenities ranging from a sizable mini-fridge to a sink and full bath. The shower had great pressure and everything was nice, clean, and well furnished. The only complaint I have was that we spent a little on the pricey side for the room but it appeared pretty fully booked and they have a fairly captive monopoly. Also, I booked over phone and the guy was totally cool with us coming and letting ourselves in while we ran errands. Really accommodating.
