Excellent customer service rooms were beautiful, very clean very updated and modern beautiful view from the rooftop of the city and they had cocktail our A special amenity bonus from 5 to 7, which was just absolutely wonderful that they include us as an offering.
The breakfast were very nice as well. Fresh squeeze, orange juice, lots of choices very nicely appointed boutique hotel.
Everyone we interacted with before, during and after our stay were clearly focused on welcoming us and making sure we had everything we needed for a most pleasant stay. The breakfast table is nothing like you see at most hotels, top notch and wonderful! The happy hour on the deck was the highlight of our stay, hats off to Frank!
This place was one of my favorites on the trip. The room was beautiful and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel had snacks and an evening get-together on the patio. You could walk to dinner and take a bike ride in the morning. Liz, the concierge, was so sweet and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.
If you are able to stay here DO IT! This place is so much more than a hotel. It is a lovely experience in itself. The location is prime there’s plenty of places within walking distance for food, drink and fun. 10/10 recommend Explore and we will be back again.
This is the second time I've stayed here. Love the location, right downtown and walkable to pretty much everything. Complimentary snacks, drinks, and breakfast are all very good and very much appreciated. The rooms are well-decorated and clean and equipped with a great coffeemaker (along with local coffee grounds!) Parking is easy and included with your stay. The rooftop sitting area is lovely, although admittedly I have not spent much time up there. The building smells lovely when you arrive and all the soaps and lotions available are also very lovely! This place has a lot of charm and the attention is definitely in the details (local snacks!) - definitely recommend the splurge.
Wonderful place to stay, though it was a little odd having a person-less check-in. Two other guests and I had to do some figuring to let ourselves in. Great having snacks and drinks available, not to mention a rooftop cocktail happy hour. Breakfast pasties and wonderful pastries. Shawnee was very friendly, hospitable and helpful. A unique hotel experience.
This is a well appointed boutique style hotel offering sought after amenities. A parking pass is provided. The continental breakfast features local high quality pastries. There is a beverage fridge at your disposal, so you can grab a water on your way out the door. There are e-bikes for tooling around town. (Marquette is hilly!) And Golden Hour drinks on the rooftop deck are a must if you’re so inclined. -Every attempt will be made to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our stay was exceptional. From the friendly staff down to the welcome basket in our room. We stayed for New Years Eve and the location is perfect for enjoying downtown Marquette without having to worry about driving. We will absolutely be planning future stays.
Intimate, excellent location, no on-site staff, but they are very responsive via text. Clean, new rooms, excellent furniture. Breakfast and happy hour, snacks and soft drinks available 24-7, they will respond to special requests.
Rooms were really nice (especially the shower!) and the food/drink amenities were great as well. Location is perfect for exploring Marquette, as it’s right in the downtown area and just a couple blocks from the waterfront and Washington Street (the Main Street of downtown). Would absolutely stay there again!
Excellent hotel. Great amenities and very nice room. We travel a lot and love to stay in upscale boutique type hotels and we put this one near the top.
This property was beautiful and the experience amazing. The room and amenities were the best we have experienced. The staff were friendly and responsive. Great coffee, snacks, beverages and cocktails on the beautiful deck, all made for a great stay.
Loved the accommodations beautiful room, super comfortable bed, complimentary treats & drinks, complimentary rooftop happy hour! The free breakfast was amazing! Felt so spoiled
Boutique hotel in restored building - original
brick wall accents, beautifully decorated and spotless. Extras that make it special - gourmet coffee & tea in the room, outstanding breakfast with fresh pastries, yogurt & oatmeal. AND a wonderful upper lounge deck with free social cocktail hour from 5 to 7pm. Very friendly staff!
this was our 1st stay here and not familiar with the hostess free check in. never got a confirmation pin code! Phone # provided was wrong #, very upsetting! had to find website, while standing outside. We finally got our pin #'s and room #, once we were in it was wonderfull. Next time make reservations thru company website NOT Expedia!
Everything!! Handwritten welcome card with parking pass, beautiful and spotless room, delicious cookies and other refreshments. I cannot say enough about the comfort of this lovely place.
