The rooms itself has high ceilings and odd enough, slightly thin walls. We could hear (I think) the people straight above us singing loud while in the bathroom. The breakfast was pretty impressive compared to most average hotels. They had a nice selection of toppings for cooked oatmeal, a couple waffle makers, yogurt, frittas (more like omelette), biscuit, gravy with sausage (that was out by 8am, so couldn't try it). But the spread of options was a lot more than the usual dry cereal bar, yogurt, bread and bagels.

However, due to Covid a lot of main camping sites were closed at the time. We knew this prior and researched the area we wanted to camp. Sadly, when we arrived the person that did camp there misinformed us as there are signs that tell you not to publically camp at the site. We did not want to break any rules so we decided to try to find a last minute place to sleep. Luckily, we found a place right in Houghton. We got to pass by a beautiful water front and a mini bridge. It was quite beautiful and I definitely would love to visit the city again. The inn was safely following protocals for Covid. We got our room key and went to our room. The pool room was open, but only a certain amount of people were allowed in at once. Luckily, it was super late so no one was in the pool area. We decided to stop by the jacuzzi to check it out. The room itsef was super clean and comfortable. It was definitely worth the price. I enjoyed our night stay. I would come back again in the future.

The fantastic part was that we went exploring on a side-by-side. Honestly, I don't know why we waited so long to do this.

When I needed to make hotel reservations for a two night stay in Houghton, I decided between the…read moreHoliday Inn Express and the Country Inn and Suites. My experience during the last stay has convinced me that I made the wrong choice in picking the Holiday inn Express. Although check-in was fast, the room we were given had a view of a rock pile, and the clock did not work. Had to ask for another room. Was given a room with a nice view. Second day, housekeeping never came to our room. When I asked the clerk about it was told they left for the day. Had to ask for a new room. Given a room with an upgrade (or so I thought). Upgraded room had serious problems with the toilet- appeared partially blocked. Fortunately we were out of there the following day. In all three rooms, the chairs squeaked, and beds seemed like they were from a flophouse. TV didn't even carry ABC. Breakfast was OK - the cinnamon rolls were the only bright spot. The front desk clerk was very helpful despite the circumstances. Never used the pool - but looked like it needed a resurfacing. Learned my lesson - Country Inn and Suites - next time. Hope its better than what I just experienced.

The Counting Room speakeasy was also a nice experience and the bartender was wonderful. Complementary snacks and beverages greet you in the lobby, and there is a nice sitting room if you'd like to just relax or do a little work... which you SHOULDN'T... (but I did at night). Parking was nice and easy... private and right across the street. It's also right smack in the middle of the main drag in Houghton... Restaurants and cafés are all around you, and it's a block from the Portage Lake Ship Canal, which has a very cool drawbridge even if there isn't much commercial shipping anymore. The Vault is a historic bank turned boutique hotel, and as such, the original bank teller windows are beautifully restored and face the main lobby area. Much to my utter amazement, they are locked and and completely unused. The staff are actually kind of stationed in what can charitably described as a back closet and they wait for the door buzzer (and can maybe see on a video screen). As the front door is always locked (your door key opens it), your initial arrival is to a locked door looking into an empty lobby but facing those beautiful teller windows. It would be AWESOME if the front counter staff were actually comfortably seated behind those teller windows, maybe even dressed appropriately like they worked in the old bank. They would be able to easily see people walking up the the front door to buzz them in, and then check-in would be at the teller window. That would be a fun way to start your experience. I also think it would be much more rewarding for the staff... who were all lovely. I really hope the owners read these comments and take this idea into consideration. I think it's a real missed opportunity. Other than that... if you're going to Houghton, this is an unforgettable hotel that most certainly will add to your experience in this historic Michigan town.

There is a complementary breakfast included in the dining area which was fantastic including fresh waffles, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, cereal, eggs, OJ, yoghurt, great coffee and more. Great seating area outside with multiple piers and benches. The Lobby was very nice too! Now why only 4 stars? (Considered 3 stars) The rooms are set up with the sink outside of the bathroom by the door with no toilet lid, so using the restroom and trying the change is quite challenging (light switch also on the outside of the bathroom) That was just an FYI.... The downside/weird experience was the housekeeping. When we first got into the room, all seemed well until we checked out the toilet and the prior occupants sh*t stains where in there. We asked the front desk to remedy, and the manager on duty told US to catch housekeeping in the morning. The next day, we did, and showed the employee what was wrong and actually tipped him $5 because we felt bad he had to clean it. When we got back to our room hours later, the sh*t stains were still there, the beds were not made and nothing cleaned.... only the garbage has been taken. We stayed 4 nights and NEVER got any room service and had to ask for more toilet paper and clean towels - even though the housekeeping team was up and down the hallway each morning when we left for the day. (We did not have a "Do not Disturb" sign on the door) when we finally said something the third night to the front desk, the manager on duty basically shrugged and said "Good help is hard to find" and gave us more towels and toilet paper. I have been to many hotels and have never experienced what occurred at this place. It was the strangest thing and obviously they cannot manage their housekeeping staff. I want to say that we will be back, however the lack of support and attention to basic housekeeping and responses from the front desk was weird and off putting.
