Well, I have ridden all but Fredrick. Leetsville is not a very good trail. Quite sandy, not a whole lot of elevation change, and a lot of quad traffic. The Bear lake loops are fun with a lot of hills and off-cambers but still some quad traffic. The soil comp. at Bear Lake isn't as sandy either.
For a hotel I would say the 4 seasons resort will be the best one. That is on M-72 Just south of Kalkaska next to a Big boy and Glens Market. (Left hand side when heading north.

With two days, you'll be able to ride both the south loop and north loops of the Kalkaska trail. The south loop is shorter and probably a good one to start on.
The Frederic loop is not bad if you park on the newer lot on Couny 612. The loop that crosses 612 used to be really nice tight stuff, and still may be, but I haven't been on it for a couple years. The bad thing about Frederic is that it's close to horse trail, and often people ride their horses on this trail and really rip it up.
