Guest Reviews
- Ruth (6/5): - The shower head in my bathroom was very dated but it was awesome with great massage settings that you don’t get in newer hotels.
- Sarah (4/5): - Check in was terrible. My rooms wasn't ready at check in time and they could not give me an ETA for when a room would be available.
- Stephanie (10/5): - It was fine
- Randall (6/5): - It was fine. Closest hotel to where we needed to be. I booked through hotels.com (though would rather book direct, but won’t if it’s cheaper third party), and had pending (what I’m assuming were incidentals) charges from the hotel before I checked in. I called just to make sure it wasn’t a spoof attempt and the woman who answered was very rude and uneducated on the process of things which made things worrisome. I asked why my card was charged before I checked in and she said “well how would we know you had money on that card? We have to charge it to know,” which may be true but was news to me. I asked how much the security charge for each room would be - as I had booked 3 for my family - and she said “well how much were you charged?” “$300, for three rooms - is it a $100 hold per night?” “Well, u don’t know but it sounds like that’s what it is.” “Okay thank you have a good night!” Click. It was just very off-putting especially for a place that hasn’t been updated since 1989 if I had to guess. I would be fine with that based on location and rate, but anything that requires monetary involvement without my knowledge is just a little weird to me and I would expect a full explanation from the people charging me. I would drive the additional 30 minutes to stay elsewhere if given the opportunity again.
- Diane (10/5): - I would go there again
- gary (6/5): - Hotel is getting a little worn around the edges. Otherwise it was OK.
- Chad (8/5): - It was good
- Derek (10/5): - Pleasant staff, clean and quiet room
- Brennan (10/5): - Jim at the front desk provided a bunch of things to do in the area and western UP MI.
- Joseph (4/5): - They make it hard to get the best rate.
- Daniel (10/5): - I have stayed here twice. A very well run local hotel, very clean and decently appointed. Very convenient. If you aren't used to the UP, you get a wide variety of guests here. Which adds to the fun.
- thomas (8/5): - Room was clean and roomy, close to ishpeming
- Michael (8/5): - Very nice stay
- Patricia (10/5): - Courteous staff, clean rooms, the carpet had a few stains, but i can live with that after coming from a horel with black mold. The room smelled fresh.
- Daniel (8/5): - It was just fine
- Sheri (2/5): - Close to the park
- Dan (8/5): - Very nice and quiet.
- Mike (10/5): - The hotel was great after I luckily got the last room that they had, since Expedia canceled my hotel reservation for this hotel. Expedia canceled my reservation for no reason and, to top it off, they didn’t notify me. Avoid Expedia at all costs and make reservations directly through the hotel. Lesson learned.
- Dan (10/5): - Very clean and updated.
- Patricia A. (10/5): Jim is great/host. - The person at Check-In was so polite and friendly. He gave us sooo much details about the area. We appreciated his sharing of personal experiences. Jim is worth a raise!
- Joyce (8/5): - The hotel was okay....but the price is definitely too high for what i got. The tile on the bathroom floor was cracked and broken (it even moved under your weight). The beds were decent, it had a microwave and mini fridge. Breakfast wasnt anything spectacular, but there was a decent selection of items. Not sure id stay there again, unless they do some maintenance or lower the price. (I paid $180 for 2 queens, for 1 night)
- John M. Wilson (10/5): Great stay. - Pleasant stay !!
- David (4/5): Never again - We stayed for 4 days and we never got maid service! Turns out we had to ask for it. All that money and we have to ask them to clean the room? Never have we had to ask for maid service anywhere. Sheets were stiff, never got any new towels. Breakfast was all packaged processed food. Just terrible
- Lisa (8/5): Rude front desk clerk - The person we spoke to when booking the hotel was quite rude and we decided to use hotels.com instead of the person at the front desk. When we checked out, I'm pretty sure the same person was the one checking us out, as she snapped at us to just put the cards on the desk. She was on her phone at that time.
- Anthony (8/5): - Nice place, and the staff was amazing. Don’t like the bathroom setup but everything else was great. I’d stay there again!
- Nathan (6/5): - Booked this hotel bc it was the cheapest for move in weekend at NMU. We’ve stayed there before but unfortunately this time the room smelled like stale cigarette smoke, the pillows were really bad quality and the bathroom was a bit beaten up (scuff marks on walls, tiles cracked etc) and the staff were super grumpy. Felt like a rip off for the marked up cost of the room for move in weekend.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Overall, it was fine. - The clerk at check in seemed confused about our reservation, but was kind. She made sure to tell us about the breakfast as the high point for the stay. Sadly, the breakfast was a typical high sugar/high carb with no protein beyond high sugar yogurt. Kids might love it, but we had to skip it to go find an appropriate breakfast. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was rock hard. We appreciated the extra blanket for the couch as we relaxed watching a little tv. The sauna didn’t get warm despite our following the directions to start it. The clerk at check out was on the phone and barely acknowledged me as I returned our keys. I was going to ask about local breakfast restaurants but she seemed uninterested in helping me.
- Rita (2/5): - Find another hotel! When we walked in the toilet had urine and feces on it and the room smelled awful. I called Expedia who then contacted the hotel, the person at the front desk told Expedia they had no complaints. Twice I complained. We did not stay the 2nd night because of the smell. We received no refund from the hotel.
- Shaun (8/5): - Quiet and in good location.
- Shannon (4/5): - Bed was a rock. Very loud with maintenance workers but that can be expected. Very old furnishings.
- Brendan (6/5): - It’s a place to lay your head
- Lisa (10/5): Nice place to stay - Very friendly staff Clean Free breakfast offerings were decent The rooms were not noisy and couldn’t hear other guests that was great
- William (4/5): - Desk clerk not at the desk or reachable when we arrived at 8:00pm. Then, had forgotten his reading glasses, so could barely read important stuff like my Driver's License ID and my credit card numbers (scanner didn't work). Didn't mention that the WiFi password is on the key card envelope (usually in the room somewhere). 5 min. drive into Ishpeming, where we found the BEST Italian Restaurant! Mama Mia's. Rated the best in the UP in 2014, Well deserved.
- Sarah (8/5): - The sauna was not working so that was a bummer, but other than that the stay was great!
- Zach (10/5): - It twas good
- Nancy (10/5): - This hotel is very conveniently located near to Bell Hospital where we had health matters scheduled. Our room was very comfortable and clean.
- Cynthia (10/5): Great value and location - Perfect location close to hiking trails and mine sites. Room was clean and staff were super friendly. Loved the pool and free breakfast. Great value for all the amenities.
- Dorn (6/5): - no elevator,
- Craig (10/5): - Quiet and secure, nice pool , location close to food and fuel.
- Hayden (10/5): - Excellent variety of options provided with the continental breakfast, nice premise with easily accessible amenities and dining, overall enjoyable stay and nice access to the local area!
- Roger (10/5): - The check in agent was great!
- Michael (8/5): - Nice pet friendly hotel
- Elaine (10/5): - Clean, comfortable, place to stay at.
- Vicki (6/5): - Room was clean. Staff was not friendly or helpful .
- Howard (8/5): - Only thing bad was the dog in the room next to us. Barking at 5am
- Bo (10/5): - .
- Lori (10/5): - Nice quiet hotel. Front desk staff were wonderful!
- jamie (10/5): - Very friendly staff. Clean nice size room.
- sandy (10/5): 4 - They could do better on the service.
- Laura (10/5): - Location was perfect for Pioneer days activities in Negaunee. The hotel is clean and staff is terrific! The only negative, is not somthing the hotel can improve, but the county/state is its very hard to turn left to go to Negaunee with traffic coming in both directions.
- JW (8/5): - Nice place to stay Breakfast was a joke. Nice hotel tho.
- Lynn (10/5): - We had a good experience
- Jeffrey (6/5): - Ok for age price a bit high
- maria (10/5): - Staff was amazing , very friendly , helpful
- Amy (8/5): - We were very satisfied with our stay.
- Fred (8/5): Not bad - Overall a good stay. Could use a little updating but nothing major.

- Ron (8/5): - It's your basic hotel clean , well kept, a place to shower and sleep what any traveler needs
- Rebecca (6/5): Alright - Check in was easy and staff was friendly. The room was quite dated and not the cleanest. Overall, was a quick trip and a pet friendly place to stay overnight.
- Paula (10/5): - Older but very clean and friendly place.
- Bill (8/5): - Staff and accommodating me and my dog. What a great stay! Would go back in a heartbeat.
- Donald (8/5): Typical rural hotel, suitable and friendly. - The hotel was good. Typical of a budget friendly hotel in a rural area. The staff was friendly. The walls were thin and the people staying there were all there for winter sports, so there was quite a bit of noise from clopping boots, but the hotel was very accommodating to those who were there for snowmobiling and fat biking. I have been to a lot of hotels for bike trips, and always do, but this was the first time I have ever been asked by staff to take my bike to my room because they know how expensive it is and they don’t want anything to happen to it on the property, which felt very welcoming. Breakfast was very basic, coffee and carbs; cereal, toast, muffins, etc. There was a pool and hot tub which looked nice, but I didn’t bring a suit, so I didn’t partake. I would stay here again because of how welcoming it was and the proximity to the RAMBA trails.
- Brad (8/5): - Great folks and nice hotel!
- Jerry (10/5): - Very close to snowmobile trail, gas station, grocery store. Easy parking. Clean room. Good value.
- Victoria (10/5): Christmas with family - Great location , pet friendly and had a nice pool
- Aaron (4/5): - Very cold air was coming through the opening around the ac unit in the wall. The pool has seen its days and the "new" sauna was very week maybe 70° after and hour of running. The beds were hard as a rock.
- Racheal (10/5): Enjoyable friendly staff - Very friendly staff they treated us just like family and made our stay enjoyable and comfortable . Loved it!
- George (10/5): - Most comfortable I've been on the UP. A 60's vibe, very, very clean and comfortable. Best place I've stayed on the UP!
- Roger (10/5): Pleasantly surprised! - The lobby clerk when I checked in was very friendly and helpful in recommending a nearby restaurant. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was better than expected,
- Elizabeth (8/5): - We just needed a place to spend the night, and for the price, this was it!
- Rose (10/5): - Great place to stay
- Justin (8/5): - Great place and very clean rooms.
- Vivian (8/5): - Overall clean hotel. Does have a continental breakfast, cereal, instant oatmeal, patries and several breads
- Larry (10/5): - This is a dated property but is well maintained and was a nice find for a good price. Room was clean and front desk staff were friendly. Breakfast was good for the price paid and level of this property. They had make your own waffles, yogurt, bagels, etc. I will return next time I am in Houghton/Hancock.
- Wilma (8/5): - We have no complaints about our stay. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was adequate but would have liked a protein option. It was located in a good area as we were traveling through.
- robet (10/5): - overall good place to stay....
- Raymond (8/5): - Clean and comfortable. In a convenient location and a good value.
- James (10/5): - In the perfect location in the middle of everything
- Samuel (6/5): No sauna, big gap between our door and the floor - Hotel advertised having a sauna. They do not have a functional one so I booked the room under false information.
- Tamsra (10/5): - Was quiet the night we stayed….just passing thru…..the only issue was a shower knob that was a little difficult to work…..but that was minor. Also the fact of road work right out front of the driveway but this is MI and it will be finished soon and nothing management can do about that! Friendly staff and nice property.
- Dale (10/5): Great stay in Ishpeming, Michigan - Very friendly staff and everything was very clean. Our family requires a room where pets are not allowed due to allergies and they were able to accommodate us. The room, hallway and general areas where thoroughly cleaned and maintained so we had no allergy issues. There are a number of fast food restaurants within walking distance. We had a great stay and would definitely stay there again.
- Steve (6/5): - Average. No elevator.
- Andrew s (6/5): - Terrible rates. Average hotel no frills
- Michelle (8/5): - Staff was very helpful and made sure visitors knew they were always available.
- Patricia (8/5): - No elevator and the window screen didn’t fit the window so flies were getting into the room if we opened the window for fresh air. Air conditioners very noisy My initial impression was very good. Spacious room. Nice comfortable bed Clean rooms.
- Kathy (6/5): - The walls are very thin. You will hear your neighbor. If you have a very noisy neighbor check with front desk to solve issue. The breakfast very simple for what you pay for the room. Rooms very clean.
- Victor (8/5): - Good hotel, but tons of construction right now around it.
- Steven (10/5): - Check in was great, nice room and clean.
- Catherine (8/5): - Good little breakfast.. quiet.
