Stayed one night while visiting Michigan Tech; the room was very spacious, beds were comfortable and location was very convenient to restaurants, shops, and close to the university. Would definitely stay again next time we are in Houghton!

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!
