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.

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!
