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.

We had a great time at this locale. Right across the street from Lake Superior and Corn Hole and chairs in the front area. They too have bikes you can use although if you are driving I'd bring a pump- I had one in my car. Great stay and good value!

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.

Smoke and mirrors

Booked this hotel specifically for the view of Lake Superior. Room booked said,king room with patio or balcony, perfect spot for my morning coffee, the room we were given was adjacent to the building with patios and balconies and our room has neither. We booked 3 nights and the parking lot was never full so not sure the downgraded room. The room was clean and newly renovated. The bed was way too tall and the chairs were very uncomfortable. The bathroom looked nice but had no place in the shower for amenities, a Corner shelf is needed. We got 2 each… towels,washcloths and hand towels for a 3 night stay, mind you there is not staff on sight so you can’t go to the desk for extra. If your guest is staying for three nights, leave the appropriate amount of towels. Overall. The room was clean but the room comforts for more than one night were lacking.

The Birchy is a renovated motel that sits right on U.S. 41. As their literature states all their rooms face Lake Superior, true, but U.S. 41 is a very busy highway, and the sound proofing the room is not the best. I had to use earplugs and put a pillow on my head to shut out the noise. Otherwise, the room is very contemporary, sparse, but neat and clean. Very good accommodations. There is no front desk, so you let yourself in by an entry code, and leave by using an exit code. Very efficient. Except for the road noise the room was updated and very well appointed though bare. For two travelers, there needs to be at least a 2nd luggage rack. Having some coat hooks would have helped, and a night stand on both sides of the bed, rather than one would have been nice as well.

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!
