I specifically asked for a quiet room away from ice machines and highway noise. I was given a room closest to an intersection with 2 US highways. Initially, I did not notice the noise, but after going out for dinner in the evening and while trying to read, it was rather loud. I did not feel that it was worth the effort to change rooms after I had unpacked and settled in. Overall, a clean but dated property. Staff is friendly, but a very poor decision on room placement.

The stay wasn’t horrible. The staff checking us in were very nice and polite. Room was nice and clean. Jacuzzi worked great. The fireplace worked for a bit then stopped working. Let the front desk know. The guy looked at it couldn’t get it to work. Said he would talk to his boss and let us know. Never got back to us.

Dear Kirsha,We appreciate you sharing your experience, though it is regrettable that it was not entirely positive. While we're glad you loved your room and enjoyed unwinding in the jetted tub, we are disappointed that you could not fully enjoy the fireplace. We apologize as well for not being able to provide a solution. Our maintenance team will look into this further and make the necessary corrections.

The only staff i dealt with was the front desk and he was friendly and professional. The room was clean, quiet, and i felt safe. It wasn't top of the line, the toilet tank would run every 5 minutes or so, the light bulbs were mismatched and had to hunt for plug ins to charge my phone, but it was very clean and quiet.

This hotel is a great location for experiencing the town of Escanaba and the nearby park. It was decorated beautifully for the fall season. It appeared that we were in a newly renovated room. All worked well except for a slow drain in the shower which we meant to report upon leaving. There was a Tesla supercharger nearby which allowed us to travel around the UP and visit Marquette and Pictured Rocks with no EV range anxiety. It made our first trip to the UP a very enjoyable one.
