It's an older set of buildings that were renovated into a single building. This makes for an interesting, sometimes confusing layout, but, otherwise, it's a good place to stay for the price. It can get a little cold, since each room has its own heater, until you figure out the right setting for your comfort. There isn't an elevator, so for those that have issues with stairs, you may to request a first-floor room. We stayed here since our regular hotel was booked up, but it's not bad as an alternative if you're coming to Marquette during a busy time since it's less than 10 minutes from downtown.
