My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! The property is gorgeous and the location is ideal for us. I had to reach out to the hotel on the day of check in. I sent an email to the property through Expedia and I explained our situation. Someone from the property looked into the problem and contacted me very shortly after I sent the email (it had to be less than 30 minutes)! We hadn’t received an email with check-in information (room number or access code), but that’s because we booked through Expedia. Expedia provided the hotel with the Expedia email address, not mine… and they made no attempt to forward the information to me. The staff member from the hotel was very friendly and helpful. She immediately provided the info I needed and had the check-in email sent to the correct email address. I really couldn’t be happier with our stay here!

This was the best experience I’ve ever had staying in a hotel. The staff went above and beyond to prepare the room for our stay with two children for our wedding weekend. It’s as if they had anticipated our every need! The room and bathroom were luxurious, it’s in an extremely walkable location to all of Marquette’s downtown attractions, and the complementary breakfast and beverages were wonderful!

It's an old building that was recently renovated. Everything is new and attractive. The staff is very enthusiastic. The continental breakfast and snacks available during the day are outstanding.

This, by far, tops any stay I have ever had in Marquette! As someone who comes here often to visit family, I have stayed in many hotels in the area and this one by far is the BEST! The attention to detail here is superb- I was called the day before where they asked me questions about my visit and from that, they personalized my visit! My friends and I were greeted at the door by our first names, given a girls wellness basket, warm chocolate chip cookies, and a bottle of wine! And let's not forget to mention the complimentary cocktail happy hour on the beautiful roof deck overooking Marqutte! Oh, and the breakfast is to die for- delicious local mini quiches, croissants, pastries and coffee, fruits, and yogurt parfaits! The room - especally the giant shower with the rainfall showerhead are modern, clean, attentive to detail, and quiet. We did not have time to use the complimentary ebikes, but they really weren't necessary because of the centralized location of the hotel. I honestly can't say enough good things about this hotel- if you ever need a spokesperson, I'm your gal! -Jenny O'Connor, Midland, MI

Very disappointing

Arrived late due to missing luggage in the airport. Code for the door didn’t work. Emergency contact number was not answering. I ended up sleeping in my rental car after a 24 hour travel. Very disappointing
