Omg..We can not wait to come back and stay here. The room was super clean and well stocked. Bed was a little springy for our liking and no breakfast sandwiches were stocked this morning but we did not mind as the staff and room itself exceeded our expectations..

This hotel was clean with nice staff. We stayed 2 nights- my only complaint was the delicious takeaway microwaveable breakfast sandwich was out of stock the second morning- not a big deal. Will stay there again.

This property was really good. Clean, spacious, close to downtown Houghton. The only reasons it did not get five stars. 1. No breakfast. They provide pre-wrapped muffins and snack bars and juice bottles, and apples, but no place to eat and nothing fresh. We knew this going in, but it was still inconvenient. 2. The sofa sleeper mattress was the WORST. No support whatsoever. The king bed was very comfortable. Overall a positive experience.
