Everyone we interacted with before, during and after our stay were clearly focused on welcoming us and making sure we had everything we needed for a most pleasant stay. The breakfast table is nothing like you see at most hotels, top notch and wonderful! The happy hour on the deck was the highlight of our stay, hats off to Frank!

This place was one of my favorites on the trip. The room was beautiful and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The hotel had snacks and an evening get-together on the patio. You could walk to dinner and take a bike ride in the morning. Liz, the concierge, was so sweet and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.

This is the second time I've stayed here. Love the location, right downtown and walkable to pretty much everything. Complimentary snacks, drinks, and breakfast are all very good and very much appreciated. The rooms are well-decorated and clean and equipped with a great coffeemaker (along with local coffee grounds!) Parking is easy and included with your stay. The rooftop sitting area is lovely, although admittedly I have not spent much time up there. The building smells lovely when you arrive and all the soaps and lotions available are also very lovely! This place has a lot of charm and the attention is definitely in the details (local snacks!) - definitely recommend the splurge.

Wonderful place to stay, though it was a little odd having a person-less check-in. Two other guests and I had to do some figuring to let ourselves in. Great having snacks and drinks available, not to mention a rooftop cocktail happy hour. Breakfast pasties and wonderful pastries. Shawnee was very friendly, hospitable and helpful. A unique hotel experience.

This is a well appointed boutique style hotel offering sought after amenities. A parking pass is provided. The continental breakfast features local high quality pastries. There is a beverage fridge at your disposal, so you can grab a water on your way out the door. There are e-bikes for tooling around town. (Marquette is hilly!) And Golden Hour drinks on the rooftop deck are a must if you’re so inclined. -Every attempt will be made to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Rooms were really nice (especially the shower!) and the food/drink amenities were great as well. Location is perfect for exploring Marquette, as it’s right in the downtown area and just a couple blocks from the waterfront and Washington Street (the Main Street of downtown). Would absolutely stay there again!
