Property is neat and clean, no staff, all information comes by text. Answered quickly while I was there, but have a question about billing and that is taking longer. If you request a late check out there is a $25/fee. Just a heads up.

Water view doesn't always = balcony.

Although communication is done all on line and via text, The Birchy group does a fabulous job communicating. I was in town for a baby shower and visiting family. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was because of the ability to sit outside on my balcony with a Lake Superior view. Perhaps I missed something, but it looked like all rooms facing the water had a balcony. What I did not realize is while I had a water view, there was a second building that I was unaware of that had no type of balcony/patio. Was so disappointed.

Lakefront location for a reasonable budget

Interesting apartment/hotel with lake views and outdoor lounge seating. Clean, all “smart” — check in, text-based reception desk, windows, etc…

It takes too many emails and texts to check in and out. There is no human contact in the process. A major highway is between rooms and the lake. On the plus side, the rooms are large and comfortable.

Cute, convenient, affordable

We will definitely be back, the room was great and the amenities were exactly what we needed. Thoughtful modern upgrades were much appreciated. Hopefully they can upgrade the AC to a more efficient system in the future but otherwise 10/10.

Wonderful One-Night Stay

Stayed for the night and it was very nice. We loved the modern accommodations this room had to offer! These accommodations included automatic blackout shades and the perfect light up makeup mirror. You could tell the room had been updated within the last couple years. The hotel is so close/easy to get to Marquette! Also the view of Lake Superior was spectacular. My only complaints are: the air conditioner smelled of mildew and the king bed was not very comfortable. We would have liked to have had king pillows instead of your regular standard ones. Otherwise we would definitely stay here again!
Big beautiful windows!

Almost paradise

Overall our stay was great! It’s a beautiful location and the room was so nice. We loved it - except that there was basically no hot water when showering… if they fixed that little issue we would stay again and again.

Great location

The Birchy is located just a few minutes drive from Marquette and is across the road from the lake. Our room was ground floor and opened out to a deck that faced the water. In the yard in front of the room were a burn pit and deck chairs. Bikes were available, and although we did not use them, it would be easy to access the town this way, once across the rather busy street. The pool was not yet open. Our room had been redone and had a nice decor, with a larger than usual fridge that actually kept our cold packs frozen. There was almost no one else there, so it was very quiet except for the road traffic. Although it seems like it might be hard to cross the road, it really isn't because of the "no man's land" in the middle. The hotel has a no contact check in and out, providing detailed texts on what to do. This went seamlessly for us. My only issue with the room was a strong mildew smell in the room. Otherwise, the room was very clean, and the beds were comfortable and fresh. We absolutely loved Marquette!

Fantastic views!

Beautiful little updated retro property with fantastic views of the lake. Staff is super responsive, had an issue with the sink and they took care of it right away. Only minus is that there is only one mirror and it's in the bathroom making mornings a challenge (please add a full length wall mirror or something, lol). Will for sure stay here again if we return to Marquette.
