Overall it is a very nice property. The staff is friendly and professional. They addressed questions quickly and thoroughly. However, I did not like the window shade as although it appears opaque you can see outlines of people passing by (I had a 1st fl room) and the nearby parking lot light shone through all night. I also had to ask for some hand soap for the bathroom sink. I would definitely stay there again. The proximity to downtown Houghton is amazing!

Great location. Very nice view on the water side. We booked this place partially for this reason. But “no room with water view for what you paid for”. “Not tomorrow either. That’s not how it works”. We booked it from Expedia. Would suggest to specify what kind of the rooms to get with what price. No room service the second day, not even trash pick up. The toilet was backed up the night we checked in. We run out of body wash the second day. Hot breakfasts is good. Even different items for the 2 days we stayed. Staff friendly.

Great location! Very clean! The food in the restaurant was also very good. Room location on bottom floor next to the parking lot was a disappointment (when expecting a view of the water).
