Ramada by Wyndham Marquette
Location is OK to visit downtown Marquette. Hotel is clean, staff is friendly, restaurant & bar downstairs was great. Hotel is quite old and in desperate need of a serious exteriors and interior (including rooms) renovation. Rooms with entrance by the swimming pool have a heavily chlorinated atmosphere ...

Cedar Motor Inn
So cute and retro renovated. It was an overnight on our way home but the price point was great for the stay itself! We don’t end up using the pool but love the option of having one.
