Room was quiet and clean. Staff were very helpful and available. Location was nice since it is right on the river/canal. Pool was decent as was the sauna. Breakfast options were on the weaker side - almost kind of disappointing to be honest, but good places near by to get a good breakfast. The whirlpool jets were out of order so that was kind of a bummer. Not that I needed it since it is just 2 floors, but there is no elevator.

I highly recommend staying here when visiting the Houghton/Hancock area. Staff were friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. Our room overlooked the water- very nice. We also enjoyed the pool, sauna and hot tub. Breakfast was decent in the morning as well.

Our room was nice and clean. Bed was very comfortable! Refrigerator small for folks traveling for multiple spots. View FABULOUS. Website needs to be updated to remove that there is a restaurant and bar. Found out after arriving it has been closed for months. Not easy to get to for arrival, but easier once you leave and come back. Now that we know what to expect, we would stay again but get take out so we can enjoy the scenery we paid for.

We only stayed one night. An older 2-story hotel with no elevator. Fortunately we packed light. It was very clean except under the Jacuzzi faucet which the people cleaning probably couldn't see, so we left them a note. Breakfast was my favorite with waffles, peanut butter and syrup!! Because of hotel location it could be a little tricky getting in to park.

This is a fantastic hotel. The rooms are pretty updated, wifi is fast, Sauna is great, has a hot tub that I would like hotter...but that is personal preference, pool itself is clean and large, wish it was deeper [4ft] but hey....another preference. The breakfast had Jimmy Dean sandwhiches, waffle maker, bagles amd such, pastries, hard boiled eggs, cereal, coffee, lots of different teas, juices, apple cider, hot chocolate. Rooms were very clean! Staff was helpful with regards to the area and very nice.

Our room was had been smoked in, and smelled badly of cigarette smoke. We immediately talked to the nice fellow at the front desk. He could only offer us a King (parking lot side, or a Queen waterfront, neither being the King waterfront we paid for). He offered air freshener spray. He tried to help. Fortunately, we had a window that we could open, and in a few hours, the smoke smell was a lot less. We were disappointed at our lack of options, or that the hotel could even somehow refund a portion of our cost due to the smell and inconvenience. We were told this was because we booked with "an outside party" - ie: Hotels.com. The bed was uncomfortable too - very hard.

Overall, it's a good hotel with comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Unfortunately, like all Ramada Inns, it has not yet embraced the sustainability and conservation mindset. Abandance of single-use plastic both at breakfast and in toiletries is saddening, but this unfortunately very typical in American motels of this price range. Likewise, breakfast is overwhelmingly unhealthy, loaded with sugar and low quality carbs. It's unthinkable that individual-use maple syrup sugar are made of corn syrup and transported from faraway, while this place is located in the UP where maple syrup is tapped locally. Again, this is a malady of our economy and not unique to Ramada.
