I cannot say how nice the staff was. They went over and above to help. We were in room 133 and it was gross to me. Smelled like mildew. It was close to the pool which I had asked for. Next time I will ask to stay in the remodeled part because my daughter said it was much nicer. There was also a plug with touch plugged into it. Major fire hazard. My daughter and I both fell in the parking lot from the ice. But I don't blame that on them. Again the staff was amazing
Interesting remodeled room. Nice bathroom , need a hook for a hand towel. No coffee maker in the room. Room was super spacious, could have easily accommodated two king size or queen size beds as apposed to the full size beds. Beds were comfy just small. Loved the retro look, phone, radio and decor. Didn't use the pool sauna or hot tub but if we stayed longer would have been happy to check them out.
If you’re looking for cheap but excellent value for your money, Cedar Motor Inn is a great choice. I was very impressed with how clean my room was. I also loved the pool and hot tub area. The lobby was very nice, as well as the staff. You really can’t beat it for a quick night or two stay.
Affordable option. Good little sauna and pool. Cute spot. It's nice for a group of friends or family for a fair price! The trails behind the building are beautiful. Sometimes your room might smell like pee and cigarettes, be warned.
The rooms were nice just layer out a little strange. Rooms were clean. Employees were friendly. Unfortunately someone rented out the pool area so we couldn't use the pool or hot tub. The breakfast was a little lack luster but overall a good experience. Close by everything in Marquette.
We had a nice stay here. I loved the retro decorations. The beds were comfy and I appreciated the mini fridge for after hiking snacks. Its close to stores and restaurants. The hot tub and sauna were amazing! And the kids enjoyed the pool.
It's an older property, but with amazing potential to be cool and kinda funky. Looks like they're headed in the right direction. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and they did a good job integrating the tech into the older room. The decor was retro and cool, and clean. A good TV and excellent location to 41, which was a huge plus. I'd stay here again :-)
Nice clean rooms with very friendly helpful staff. A good value. I wish had time to try out the pool, hot tub and sauna.
Situated on Highway 41, this straightforward, low-rise motor inn lies 2.6 miles from NMU Beaumier Heritage Center and 3.4 miles from the city of Marquette on Lake Superior.
