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
