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.

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.

Northwoods Resort is a great place to stay on the UP! It's a family owned business with a welcoming…read moreand knowledgeable staff. It's nestled on the shores of Lake Au Train, which is much warmer than Lake Superior but puts you close enough to explore all the best of the UP & Lake Superior cruises. Each cabin has a fire pit and grill, you can buy wood on site, and many of the cabins have been completely remodeled to include both charm and amenities (AC, tv with streaming options etc). The resort itself is small and would be a great place for a family reunion. There are plenty of boating options and the sand family that owns the resorts also owns a business up there road renting kayaks and canoes. There is a convenience store and pizza place within walking distance and the Pictured Rocks and downtown Munising are just a short drive away. We loved our visit and we'll definitely be back!

Reservations were by phone and I received a confirmation email with instructions on where to meet. The young man who checked us in was friendly and helpful. We walked the 1/3 mile up the road to the put-in, though the resort offers a free shuttle as well. The river is glorious: a 7-mile easy float through mostly uninhabited areas in the U.P., with clear water, towering pines, sand beaches, and wildlife. The ducks are very friendly and will approach looking for handouts. We enjoyed our 2+ hours on the river and will definitely be back.

Well, there is a lot to say about our stay at the Jasper Ridge Inn…read more They were overall absolutely accommodating, beyond friendly and made our stay so comfortable. We stayed here for two days during a storm induced power outage. Best of all, it was all during Thanksgiving. The hotel itself is very simple. Bedding is old school, but comfortable and warm. It has seen its better days, but again it's what you would expect at a simple hotel. Towels are plenty, and they are very efficient and making sure you have all you need. Our fridge was not working during our stay, and they promptly brought another one right away. We had a pet also. They were again friendly and understanding during the whole stay. Breakfast had a variety of foods including potatoes, biscuits and gravy, pastries, bagels, mini muffins and toast. There was also yogurt and fruit. The cable TV is well...horrible, because cable is just terrible anyways. But they have Wi-fi, therefore you can bring your own entertainment. If you stay here, I would also consider making sure that you leave everything as nice as you've found because they have a small, but very respectful staff that works as a team and does everything and anything to keep the hotel running smoothly. So by leaving things nicely you will help them out too.

It's not fancy, but it's got a king bed and a couch or loveseat for the hubby, he likes a separate lounge space for videos or social media activities. Their continental breakfast is sad. 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. Continental breakfast was average, but you can fill up on lots of carbs for sure, rubbery food for the warm stuff.

Felt a bit of voyeurism takes place as no blinds, mirrors placed weird and the view went right to a persons house. Drunk guests were creeping around and we had to call the cops.

Need updating their instructions. Dirty dishes, garbage in our fire pit (fire pit and grill were not on property as stated. ) towels looked used, unclean. Tractors starting at 8am and junky boats cluttering property. Host was agressive and rude. She seems to be agressive with any criticism. Just accused us of false things, basically trashing the place which I've never done in my life. She accused someone of urinating in the bed! Most insulting interaction I've had. She is going to drive that business in the ground that already lacked professionalism. Mom and dad must be proud. Do not recommend. Never have I had this experience at an air bnb.

My friends and I just completed a six (originally five) day stay, beginning in the Hiawatha cabin,…read moreand moving to the Huron for the last night. The Hiawatha is a cozy two bedroom with the perfect access to the water and communal areas. The cabins are very clean, and well appointed, with microwaves, full-sized refrigerators, and a stove with oven. The Hiawatha is perfect for a landing spot from those long days of sightseeing. We decided to extend our stay by a day, and the gracious host, Sarah, was more than accommodating, offering to move us to another cabin for the final night, as ours was already booked. The Huron is a spacious three bedroom, with two queens and two twins, and a shower/bath combo. Newer construction, and everything the Hiawatha has, but more space for those larger groups. However, you don't come to Kimar to stay in your cabin, and the lakeshore views do not disappoint. Morning sunrises, and the activity of an active charter fishing operation provide the vibe that will calm the most anxious of souls. Sarah and Chris, the hosts, are third generation Kimar, and the added experiences they provides are what makes Kimar so special. They are very welcoming, and take the time to make sure everyone from young to old have a unique and memorable experience to take home with them. Do your research before you book, because the beaches here are for rock hounds, not sunbathers. The weather was cool, and my traveling companions had not thought about 55 degree nights when they packed clothing. My best experiences were found on the dock, in front of the campfire meeting new friends, and searching for beach treasures and Yooperlites. I hesitate to post any of this, because I want to keep this hidden gem all to myself. Thank you, Kimar family and friends, for making this one of the most memorable vacations ever!

We needed a part and had Amazon ship it to the office, and we were able to pick it up at 9 PM. There are 4 clean showers and a nice bathroom. The only recommendation I would give is to add a chair or seat in each shower. The entire campground is very well maintained.

This is a really high rating but the park was perfect for us…read more It's new and has gravel roads, no trees, but electric and water and sewer campsites. It's spacious and most sites are pull through. There are some tent sites back in the woods and along the river, very rural and pretty out there. There is no pool, playground or fenced in pet walk. What I really liked the most was the proximity to local bicycle trails located just off the park, making it easy to ride to Marquette and even Presque island. The Northern Michigan University public golf club is just outside the park. If conditions are right you have an unobstructed view of the Aurora borealis. I've seen many prettier parks but this was just right for our needs. Even though we had some rain the gravel sites didn't get muddy, big plus when traveling with dogs. Enjoy the amazing area, hike, bike, eat and enjoy nature... this park is a great place to set up and then go do the stuff you came here to do.
