This was a very nice hotel. Parking was the problem not enough had to walk long distance to get to the hotel. The location was close to what we wanted to do and see in the peninsula. I would go to a Hampton Inn on another occasion.

Overall satisfied with this hotel. It was updated and clean. The location was fantastic. The breakfast wasn’t great, but better than most continental breakfasts. The mattress and pillows were a little hard for my liking and our room had a weird smell to it. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again.

Lots to do in Houghton

Napoleon at the front desk was on top of our reservation and gave us a tip about the fantastic restaurant on the 7th floor of the hotel as a possible dinner spot. Food and service only exceeded by view of water. Rooms were spotless. Ours overlooked 41 so we watched a parade from our room. Neat town.
