Hampton Inn & Suites Houghton

We stayed here in room 514 on 6/8 to 6/11/26 (3 nights). The room overlooks the canal and the loading area for the Ranger III ship. It is a nice view. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. It had a coffee maker, fridge and microwave and was good sized. The bathroom was large, had decent counterspace and good water pressure. The bathroom and closet share the same sliding door. There is a luggage rack and a built in spot for suitcases. The beds were comfortable, slightly on the firm side. The A/C unit worked well and was not too noisy. Unfortunately, the thermostat has a motion sensor system, so it goes off while you sleep and the room gets warm. The internet was good for email and web surfing. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, especially the front desk and breakfast staff. Breakfast has a good selection and the food was good. Housekeeping is every 2 days unless you opt out of housekeeping. The hotel is an easy walk to downtown and about 10/15 min. drive from the college and mineral museum. The hotel has a pool and fitness room on the first 2 floors, the lobby is on floor 3. The is parking on the side of and in back of the hotel. There is also an inhouse restaurant and bar, The Observatory, on the 7th floor. We had dinner there one night (very good mussels and fettucine and a good Caesar salad), OK service and oddly for some reason they serve their diet colas flat (no carbonation). We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. We really liked the hotel and would have rated it 5 stars but for the every other day housekeeping and motion sensor AC system.

No hot water. No heat in room, ask for help with heat and they put us in another room still with no heat or hot water

We really enjoyed everything about this hotel. We had our own bedroom and our daughter thoroughly enjoyed her own ‘room’ it was quite large. The rooftop lounge was great too.

Not a thing!

The hotel was in a great location, the staff was very welcoming and it was very clean.

Breakfast was great.

Restaurant too small to entertain my family. Pool too small. Only one person on duty from 3 to 11 in evening. Missed my room cleaning one day.

Great Location Friendly staff good breakfast large rooms. Very clean.

Just a brilliant experience. Stayed for a week while visiting the nearby university, so the location was ideal and with scenic views across the lake. The staff were amazing - they couldn't have been more helpful, especially when our flight home was cancelled and we had to stay an extra night (thank you Carol!). The hotel is spotless, the beds are very comfortable, the breakfast was delicious, we got a free transfer to the airport (thank you Laurie!), and we had the pool and the gym to ourselves.
