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…

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.

Nice bed!
The bed was incredibly comfortable. The lake view room had a better view of the highway than the lake. The highway and the air conditioner were loud. The birches in the picture are only visible from the parking area. Very clean 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.

This lodging has no one on site, and check-in is all done by email. In the past this has been an issue for us when something goes wrong, because contacting help can be difficult, and addressing problems remotely is not always easy or even possible. However, in this case all went well. The pre-provided key combination worked well for our preassigned room, and we had no problems. The room itself was clean and modern. The hotel was right off the highway, which made being outside unpleasantly loud, but the room itself was reasonably soundproofed.

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.

The pool was closed with no notice letting me know as this is why I chose to stay here
The cobwebs all over the balcony
The weeds and grass needs mowed

A place to stay if you didn't want to sleep in you
Did not like the traffic noise in front of the hotel. In the back of the hotel, there was a lot of gun firing noise. We were a little worry about where the bullets were going to land. You did-not want to cross the road due to a lot of traffic.

We will definitely be back! It’s rare to find a truly dog friendly place to stay, so we really appreciate the Birchy. The room is well-appointed and the recent upgrades are high quality. We appreciated the white noise machine too!

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!

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.

I loved the whole experience from not having to check in at the front desk, the wonderful room, the beautiful view, and the comfortable bed & pillows. The bathroom was nice. The room was clean & well kept. There was a little miscommunication on the kitchenette. Make sure you ask if your room has a furnished kitchenette. Not all rooms do. I do wish there was a comfortable chair in the room. But my husband loved the chair because he took it outside to sit in. We will definitely be back when we are in Marquette again.
