We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It was centrally located to everything in downtown Marquette and the extra amenities were a big plus. We enjoyed nightly Gilded Hour on the rooftop deck, using the electric bikes to travel on the nearby bike trails and the morning pastry breakfast. The staff were kind and accommodating to all of our needs.
If we visit Marquette in the future, we’ll definitely be staying again.
This property was beautiful and the experience amazing. The room and amenities were the best we have experienced. The staff were friendly and responsive. Great coffee, snacks, beverages and cocktails on the beautiful deck, all made for a great stay.
Very nice spot downtown. Clean, cute room. Nice big bathroom with a nice shower. Very nice selection for breakfast, snacks and drinks. Wonderful little coffeemaker in the room with local coffee provided. Walkable to downtown. Easy parking. I only wish our room had been a little bigger but we took what was available. Roof was nice, only wish we could have a clear view of the lake. Staff we encountered were courteous and kind.
We had a wonderful stay at EXPLORE! The location was excellent, within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and sites and both the room and staff were outstanding. There quite a few special touches such as cookies to greet us and wonderful, tasty local coffee grounds for making coffee in the morning!!!
Everything from the check-in to our departure was perfect! We stopped here on our anniversary adventure and it did not disappoint! Our room was perfect and clean clean clean. It is obvious that they have taken extra t
Room was beautiful with great amenities. Easy check-in process on our phone. We loved drinking our coffee up on the deck in the morning and how easy it was to walk around downtown. Would definitely recommend to anyone else visiting.
My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer! The property is gorgeous and the location is ideal for us. I had to reach out to the hotel on the day of check in. I sent an email to the property through Expedia and I explained our situation. Someone from the property looked into the problem and contacted me very shortly after I sent the email (it had to be less than 30 minutes)! We hadn’t received an email with check-in information (room number or access code), but that’s because we booked through Expedia. Expedia provided the hotel with the Expedia email address, not mine… and they made no attempt to forward the information to me. The staff member from the hotel was very friendly and helpful. She immediately provided the info I needed and had the check-in email sent to the correct email address. I really couldn’t be happier with our stay here!
This was the best experience I’ve ever had staying in a hotel. The staff went above and beyond to prepare the room for our stay with two children for our wedding weekend. It’s as if they had anticipated our every need! The room and bathroom were luxurious, it’s in an extremely walkable location to all of Marquette’s downtown attractions, and the complementary breakfast and beverages were wonderful!
Excellent hotel. Great amenities and very nice room. We travel a lot and love to stay in upscale boutique type hotels and we put this one near the top.
It's an old building that was recently renovated. Everything is new and attractive. The staff is very enthusiastic. The continental breakfast and snacks available during the day are outstanding.
The only word I can think of to describe this property! Authentic…. Amazing! The small touches are so thoughtful, and the staff is responsive and so friendly!
