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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It was centrally located to everything in downtown Marquette and the extra amenities were a big plus. We enjoyed nightly Gilded Hour on the rooftop deck, using the electric bikes to travel on the nearby bike trails and the morning pastry breakfast. The staff were kind and accommodating to all of our needs. If we visit Marquette in the future, we’ll definitely be staying again.

Very nice spot downtown. Clean, cute room. Nice big bathroom with a nice shower. Very nice selection for breakfast, snacks and drinks. Wonderful little coffeemaker in the room with local coffee provided. Walkable to downtown. Easy parking. I only wish our room had been a little bigger but we took what was available. Roof was nice, only wish we could have a clear view of the lake. Staff we encountered were courteous and kind.

We had a wonderful stay at EXPLORE! The location was excellent, within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and sites and both the room and staff were outstanding. There quite a few special touches such as cookies to greet us and wonderful, tasty local coffee grounds for making coffee in the morning!!!
