Our room view
Sonny D.

We stayed here Labor Day weekend and from the moment we arrived to checkout everything was pretty much perfect. The front desk staff quickly checked us in, went over all the amenities, salt water pool, jacuzzi, gym, breakfast and pet friendly restaurants nearby. This Hampton Inn waterfront and is just 2 blocks from restaurants, variety shops and a boardwalk with spots to dock your boat if needed. They are pet friendly and even accept ELEPHANTS as we heard them stomp around the floor on the second floor above our room. Don't let the elephant that disturbed our stay keep you from booking this fantastic Hampton Inn. You will be happy you chose this location over their competition on the busy hwy (even with an elephant on premises, LOL)

The signs did not include even a simple "we apologize for the inconvenience."

We chose this hotel for our first visit to Marquette solely for its lakefront location and the availability of a lake view room. We were in the area for a low key, non-outdoor stay - visiting local museums, getting a feel of the area, seeing the fall color, and spending time in our room relaxing between outings enjoying the view of Lake Superior. The location was what we expected. It was a short drive to the downtown restaurants, but not a reasonable walk for us. The hotel does not have a bar or restaurant, which we were aware of. The breakfast was acceptable - typical continental breakfast items with the addition of chafing dishes of prepared eggs, potatoes, and sausage/bacon. The breakfast area/shared space has a nice view of the lake. The room was a decent size, with a king bed on the interior wall and the sofa and desk placed on the walls perpendicular to the large window. The view of the lake was unobstructed. It was the view we were planning to enjoy. Upon arrival at 7 pm, a sign posted on the front desk informed us that all the water would be turned off for 5.5 hours (10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) for three consecutive days - the day we arrived, our only full day, and the day we departed. It was too late to try to find another hotel or to make different plans for which days we would be in Marquette. We ended up spending 5 hours the next day driving around looking for things to do and having an early meal rather than being able to come back to our room to take a break, enjoy the lake view and fall colors during the day, and then head out for a leisurely evening meal. Upon checkout I shared our concern and disappointment with the front desk clerk, who then got the manager. The manager was dismissive of the water being an inconvenience and stated that we didn't HAVE to leave our room during the 5.5 hours the water was unavailable. She claimed they had no way to inform guests prior to arrival, that it was unplanned, and with 84 rooms it was not possible to do so. She never once offered an apology or even acknowledged that not having water in the entire hotel for over 5 hours was an inconvenience to the guests who actually had plans to be in their room. Despite the sticker on the front desk claiming 100% satisfaction guarantee or they'll make it right, no effort was made to do so, or even an apology preferred. Her defensive attitude, combined with the almost flippant verbiage of the signs around the hotel and in the rooms made us question whether the guests' comfort and experience even matter.

We were very happy during our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. Beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was pretty good. We all enjoyed the view of Lake Superior as we were eating breakfast. Also liked the hot chocolate and the cookies. We'll be staying here next spring, when we're in town for a graduation.

This is a FANTASTIC property. It's right on the water, it's brand spanking new, and it's beautiful! Check-in: Staff here are consistently prompt and friendly. Check-in process is always a breeze. Each time, they did forget my water & snack for being a diamond member, though... Room: The first time, I was upgraded to an executive room where the room was the size of 3 NYC studio apartments. There was a long table in the middle of the room separating the bed area from the living area- fully equipped with outlets for working and a flat screen TV (I uploaded some photos from this room). Do NOT book the "beach level" as this is in the basement by the pool.. very humid and a little too warm, even with the AC on. Fitness Center: It's fairly large. It has weights, medicine balls, mats, treadmills and elipticals. Breakfast: typical "meh" Hampton Inn breakfast, but the view from the dining area makes up for it! You have a killer view of Lake Superior from a beautiful dining room with multi-dimension tables (high and low tables throughout the area) and it is just stunning. You will NOT want to leave! Parking: free surface parking- you do have to provide your car make/model/color to the front desk when you check-in.

Great hotel! My husband booked us a three night stay so we could be as close to the lake as possible! It's beautiful! Very clean! Very knowledgable and helpful staff. Their pool is salt water which is nice, however it was supposed to be at 86 degrees and our entire three night stay it was almost frigid, we mentioned to multiple staff whom all said it was to be very warm and they would check and fix it, and to our disappointment every time we went down it was still cold, we ended up in the hot tub. They have a decent workout room this if nice to use. It's a very nice location that is within walking distance to most of the downtown area restaurants and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and plan on spending the extra money again when we come I to town next to stay off the lake again in one of their lakefront view rooms. Their front desk staff was very helpful and knowledgable on any questions we had. We had one issue on our second night with the people above us keeping us up most the night and waking up our daughter from them being so loud. We expressed our disappointment as it was happening as well as the next morning and they took care of the issue above and beyond! For that reason alone we will be back soon!

Pathway that leads from Lakeshore Blvd and around in back of the hotel along the shore. You can also put your SUP or kayak in right here!

You can't beat the views and location to downtown at this Hampton Inn. It the only hotel (other than the historic Landmark Inn) right downtown and also the only Hilton brand hotel in all of Marquette. The staff has always been amazing, all areas are very clean, indoor pool that overlooks the lake! We've stayed here for a full week every September since they opened and have not had a single complaint!

By far the BEST Hampton Inn I have stayed at in the U.S. From the well designed rooms, to the upscale spa & fitness center.

After a long hot day we returned to our room around 7:30 PM to discover the room had not been…read morecleaned. Unmade beds, dirty towels (left on the floor per instructions posted in the bathroom!). I talked to the desk clerk who said she would talk to someone who would address the issue. About 20 minutes later a guy knocked on the door who handed me towels and sheets! Hay thanks but isn't it housekeeping's job to make the beds and clean the room? Unacceptable!!! Now why did I rate our stay 5 stars? The manager heard of our experience and took action that demonstrated why she's the manager. She sent Caylib and DeShawn to our room to make the beds and clean the bathroom! They were perfect! Understanding that things don't always go right, it's nice to know that there are people that step up and do whatever it takes to get the job done.

This is not a 4 star property, rather I'm rating it 4 stars for the expectations on this level…read more On arrival, we received a warm welcome from the staff. Our room preference (high floor/ end room) was granted - much to my husband's dismay... as he was carrying the tour back to the furthest possible point from check- eek. (We did move the bike to the other end for check-out & he was in a much better mood after that shorter trek.) The rooms were noted as renovated a few years ago. Had I not known going in, I'd have guessed 80s (as the hubby did when I asked him to date the last update). The ceiling is concrete & painted mauve, making for (much appreciated) serious noise reduction & perhaps a bit of a hospital or prison feel, if you will. The walls are a light gray, as is the furniture. The artwork (3 pictures) was oddly small (8x10) & hung oddly. They furnishings were, perhaps, excessive. To open up the space & reduce the crammed in strangely look, I'd suggest removing a couple of things. There was a wall shelf/ TV holder. Under that was a desk, literally pushed under, as was dresser. It looked as if the furniture was pushed back for cleaning, stacking it up. There was also a wardrobe, chair & table that slides over the chair (think tv tray). The room was exceprionally clean & in excellent condition. It was 3/4 bath with a large shower - no tub. The bed was comfortable & temperature control worked well. The pool & sauna are not to be missed! The location is great for accessing assorted things to do. All in all a very good stay. We simply have a different taste than the decorator did, apparently. We are platinum with IHG & booked directly, without using points.

This was my first visit to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and I booked The Birchy Motel (formerly…read moreknown as The Birchmont Motel) as it looked easy to find and had good review. Not only was it easy to find, the view of Lake Superior from our second floor room was amazing!!! It was also nice that we were on the end, and the motel was not overly busy - so it was really quite in the evening. The room itself was quite large, with a coffee maker, microwave, mini fridge/freezer, and sink. The bathroom was also large and included towels and the basic amenities. We had a king size bed, which was very comfortable! The TV was so nice (picture quality far better than my tv at home) and there were so many channels. My favorite are always the music video channels - great for background music! The patio was large and it was lovely to sit out and watch the sunset. Although it is located off a main road, the surroundings and atmosphere was very quite and peaceful. It was evident there had been recent updates/renovations, so recent there was not a rod or hangers in the closet. In fact, there were few places to lay out clothes. There was one table top, desk top, 2 night stands, and single chair in the room. We were there for 3 nights, so it wasn't too bothersome and I am sure they will finish installing these minor items soon. There is an outdoor pool, it was not in use during my stay (it was a brisk 55-65F). I booked using Hotels.com and they text you the door code prior to your arrival. I had called customer service with a question and they were extremely helpful. Overall, 5 stars! Highly recommend and would stay here again :)

I love Mom and Pop motels. They always seem to provide friendly personal service. After researching…read moreonline I gave them a call (online booking is not an option). They were professional, courteous and very friendly going over the rooms available and letting me know exactly what to expect. A second story room with a queen bed overlooking Lake Superior. The motel is on Hwy 41 just outside of downtown Marquette MI. The views of Lake Superior are fantastic. We were on the second floor with a balcony overlooking the lake and a deck overlooking the woods. The room has a mini kitchenette with a sink, two burner stove combo, refrigerator and microwave. Dishes, silverware, a couple of pans, dish soap and towels are also included. Cute and convenient. There are also grills and picnic tables on the grounds for your use as well. Our room was $89.00/night plus tax. How can you pass up a deal like this? There is a pool, continental breakfast and the rooms are extremely clean. They do not provide shampoo, lotion, or hair dryers. Alas, there is a slight downside which resulted in a loss of a star. We booked for four nights. The fourth day we did not receive a full room service. Just a change of towels. we had depleted our soap and it was not refilled, the bed was not made up and the trash was not emptied. A slight mishap, but one which would not keep us from staying here again.

The waffle batter is thick, but on the waffle comes out airy and laid luster. The batter wasn't coming out much. The Smucker's packets were out. The oatmeal vat is dry add a bone. The eggs ate watery and not so good. At least there are Philadelphia cream cheese and Chobani yogurt to get me through the morning. Day two: bacon egg bites, smashed croissant sandwich with ham, eggs and cheese, pork sausage. Lovely, I don't eat pork at all. At least there was some oatmeal today for me. We stopped eating the breakfast after the 3rd day, since there were way better options nearby. Only so much oatmeal you can eat consecutively. The staff mostly keep to themselves and didn't interact with us at all during our trip, except for the check-in and check-out. Room was clean and quiet for rest.

I stayed in the Econo Lodge Lakeview for one night in September 2024, and I was surprised by how…read moredecent the hotel was consider its age, price range, and hotel category. The facilities do show their age and the room was a bit musty (I was travelling with a dog, so was in one of the rooms with direct entry to the parking lot rather than in the two-story building with the interior corridor), but everything was clean and the lake view was fantastic. The staff were friendly and efficient, and when I asked for tips about where to find trailheads and trail parking and local dog-friendly activities, I received great responses. The location on the highway is perfect if you're doing the lake route drive (as I was), although it does make it a little challenging to get over to the Iron Ore trail that's just on the other side of the highway. The guest in the room next to me wanted to cycle over and I was mildly concerned that I was about to witness an accident. That said, it's a very short drive to the Tourist Information Office's parking lot which is on the trail, which is how I ended up accessing it. The lobby has coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available all day, and the breakfast buffet was much better than most budget hotels offer. The breakfast room has a view of the lake as well, which was great.
