Jenny, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had everything we needed, great location.

Stayed here for 5 nights. Very comfortable, great location. Really nice hotel. There's also a really nice and clean lanudry room that we made use of on our last day. There's almost a full kitchen, just no stove, but a full size fridge and microwave, no pool. The cleanliness, location, price and amenities were outstanding. We would stay here again next time. Its not downtown Houghton, but if we didnt sray herr, we probably wouldnt have visited this area of town. Very short drive to downtown and to mich tech campus.

Nice studio type room

Very clean room. There is a good size fridge and a kitchen with a stove top and microwave. I just needed a place to lay my head for a few hours, but it would be great for a longer stay. My check-in was very late but staff made it easy by texting me with simple instructions.
