I would definitely recommend this as a simple place to stay. The view was beautiful! Perfect place to spend the night after exploring during the day. Wish we had stayed long enough to use the bikes!

We loved having a view of Lake Superior. It was very easy to access. The rooms have been recently updated. It was a snap to go into Marquette. There is a lawn in front with lawn games, chairs and hammock. Easy to check in and out. We were very happy with our stay.

The pool is empty and not being repaired. No beach access, either. I told them it was a problem becase we would have picked a different motel. She said. "Sorry." Most rooms have a balcony or patio. Ours had neither.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The birchy is a very nice modern facility that gives you great access to downtown Marquette and the surrounding area. The room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The ice machine was very helpful. I loved having Thimbleberry bushes in the parking lot. That made my day. The bikes that they had available were very nice although I was very nervous. Crossing the very busy highway that is in the front yard. Overall, I give the facility two thumbs up. We will be back.

We’ll be back!

We will definitely be back! It’s rare to find a truly dog friendly place to stay, so we really appreciate the Birchy. The room is well-appointed and the recent upgrades are high quality. We appreciated the white noise machine too!

Sherry

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Everything was really quite perfect. The only criticism that I can offer is that the TV though it’s a huge TV and it’s beautiful. It doesn’t have reception good enough that when you’re trying to watch something every couple of minutes it has to stop and reboot so I would only say that the TV service you either take it out or you get a service that people can watch full movies and TV shows without waiting Every two minutes to see or hear what you were watching thank you you

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures are deceiving. This property is not maintained, the room was dinghy, pool was empty with weeds growing around it, there was no “adventure” gear except bicycles, towels were worn, bathroom door was broken, and overall it was a dump. The only positives were the location and fast response when we asked for more towels and to have the bathroom door fixed. It is a beautiful property on Lake Superior, but very neglected. I would not stay here again.
