Great hotel that is close to town! I enjoy the Pool, Hot Tub, and Sauna. I frequent here while in town and they always meet my needs.
The location is very close to restaurants, stores, and MI Tech. The hotel is about 1:40 west of Marquette, 50 minutes south of Copper Harbor, and 25 minutes away from no phone service.
Whether it be a comfortable bed, a beautiful drive, or the hospitality of the locals… I highly recommend staying here.

The staff were very pleasant, the rooms were very clean, and the beds were comfortable. However, the noise made it feel like the door and the windows were wide open. With both shut, I could hear people talking, not yelling, in the parking lot and in the halls.
