We enjoyed our stay! Friendly and helpful staff! Our room was nicely decorated and very clean. The mattress wasn’t great, but overall we liked the room. Their continental breakfast was fantastic! They have coffee and hot chocolate available all day. They made us feel at home - they even gave us treats for our dogs!! 💚

Extremely friendly staff! Beautiful little hotel! Very nice continental breakfast set up! Extremely clean room with awesome red, white, blue touch! I was stationed at the nearby base 30 years ago and loved the added touch original U.S. Air Force pictures, in their original frames, that the hotel acquired from the heritage society. The next time I travel to this location, I will stay here again. TY for an excellent stay!

We had an early flight from KI Sawyer and checked in the evening prior. Parking was super easy and walked in. Kelly smiled and checked us in and we felt it was going to be a good stay. Everything was super clean and we felt safe. Would recommend and price to performance is excellent.

This is my second stay in a week. The first time did not disappoint do I choose it again on my return. The rooms are so warm and comfortable. The beds are a dream to sleep on. Everything is clean and neat. And the decor is excellent. Highly recommend if you are fortunate enough to be in this area of the country.

This was a super cute, clean and comfortable stay. There isn’t much in Gwinn but at the same time it has everything you need. A few good restaurants, a Kwik Trip, and both a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree and a Dollar General if you are searching for anything for your trip. It is only 20 minutes from Marquette and saved us a hundred(s) in lodging. Nice cute little touches including popcorn and fresh fruit in the lobby. It was extremely quiet. Kelli was extremely welcoming and has worked hard to make this a lovely place to rest your head. Highly recommend!

If you get a chance to stay at the Model Town Inn do it ! My husband and I stay there and was surprised we found. The room is very patriotic red, white and blue. The bed was very comfortable. And the AC works great. The breakfast is grab and go. and they have a popcorn maker !!! we will definitely stay again
