They are aged, rustic cottages on Big Shag Lake. As long as you don't need all the acoutrements of home or an upscale hotel and manage your expectations of a cabin in the woods, you can certainly have a terrific visit. Cons - furnishings, bedding, linens and housewares are all a bit tired and worn. No A/C can be unpleasant if you happen to stay during an unusual hot spell. water smells of iron, you share space with spiders, and the shower is tiny and dark. Pros - Quiet setting on lakefront property, rowboat included, motor and paddleboat available for rent, firepit and grill available, property set way off the road so the only traffic you'll hear going by is on the lake. Lots of windows allow you to take in the outdoors and a passing breeze. Gary and Su and very gracious hosts and work hard to ensure guest satisfaction. Molly, the resident dog, is one of the best behaved dogs we have ever seen and very lovable. Deer sightings, raspberries and blueberries are plentiful. Sunrise from the cottages is breathtaking, and with a brief drive to the other side of the lake you can enjoy an equally pleasing sunset. Proximity to Marquette, the airport, Pictured Rocks, numerous waterfalls and other areas to explore make it a great central location.

I stayed at The Landmark Inn in Marquette for two nights in a king room. The hotel itself has a…read morehistorical look and is located close to the center of downtown, which is small but charming. The check in process was easy and parking while minimal was adequate during my stay. They offer complimentary coffee and water when you walk in which was a nice touch. The elevator is very old and extremely slow and I found myself thinking stairs might be faster. As for the room I had heard ahead of time not to stay on the sixth floor due to reported haunting activity so I was on the fifth. Each room is supposed to have a theme but mine felt rather dull and uninspired. Unfortunately the room was dusty and I found hair in the sink from a prior guest which was off putting. The bed was comfortable and the temperature was cold when I arrived at 62 degrees which I actually liked. The view was nice but the room was very loud in the evenings. I suspect I was right below the sixth floor bar because I could hear chairs dragging and plenty of noise until about eleven or twelve at night. On the positive side the staff was kind and nobody was rude. I also tried their restaurant pub twice and it was excellent. The fish and chips cheese curds and chicken strips were all delicious and I highly recommend eating there even if you are not staying at the hotel. Overall while I appreciated the history the location and the food I would not stay here again. My three star review is more about the cleanliness issues and the constant noise from above. For two nights in a king room the total was eight hundred twenty five dollars and for that price I expected a cleaner room better upkeep and more amenities.

The living room/kitchenette and very large bedroom was separated by a small bathroom and vanity. I was surprised by the size of the suite. The main downside was the hard bed. They called it a queen, but it looked tiny in that large BR. Overall a good value for the money.

I can't think of a single complaint about this hotel. It was unfortunate that the power (and thus…read morethe elevator) went out a few times during our stay but that was no fault of the hotel. Everything was very clean and fresh-looking. It is pet-friendly but be aware that the pet relief area is designed for small dogs - there is a residential area up the hill where there's more room to walk for potty time. There's a pool and a fitness center. The breakfast was pretty standard. My most favorite feature were the electric black-out curtains. I have never stayed in a hotel where it was truly dark in the room, and this was much appreciated because I needed a good night's sleep!

(No regular movie channels like HBO). Te pool is nice but would have liked a hot tub. Bad is comfortable and room is spacious with a nice sized desk and fridge plus microwave. We did have one problem with our room. The bathroom has a sliding door, instead of one with a latch or lock. Which shouldn't be a problem except the door wouldn't stay closed... just slowly rolled open. By far the best thing about this hotel is the cleanliness and how modern it is. Definitely a step ahead of the Holiday Inn hotels in town. (Except the Holliday Inn has a great hot tub!)

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 :)

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.
