10/10 Exceptional

Very helpful staff. Everything was as it should be.
Elizabeth, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Upon arrival, we had to walk in 3-4inches of snow. I get that it’s Upper Michigan, but at least keep a path shoveled. We were given our keys by a friendly staff member and upon entering our room, a guest was already inside. We went back, changed rooms and the bed looked like it had already been slept in. I chose to sleep on the fold out couch, which had a mattress beyond its life. My husband slept in the bed and said it was comfortable. Breakfast was minimal, 5 cereals, three types of mini muffins, oranges, orange juice, coffee and milk. The coffee was good. Morning staff didn’t acknowledge our presence at all. We went back to our room and I decided I wanted more coffee, the pot had the grounds still in it from a previous guest, made another pot and the coffee packets are clearly not for a 4 cup coffee maker. I put two in and the coffee was still too weak. We stayed in a suite room, I didn’t realize these were detached from the main motel, so we didn’t get a chance to use the pool, hot tub, or sauna as it was a pretty long walk in the snow in a bathing suit. The price was good. We stay in Marquette a few times a year and I would give them another chance.
Pretty sure this bed was already slept in

Just what we need and feels homey.

2/10 Poor

I’m originally from Marquette, and my boyfriend and I decided to take a night trip to visit family. The lobby was great, but as we entered the halfway point, a strong odor of old must hit us. When we finally reached our room, the smell persisted, accompanied by cigarette smoke, which was a violation of the non-smoking policy. We opened the windows to try and ventilate the room, but it was still in a state of disarray. The sheets had stains, the carpet was disgusting (ripped), and there was dust everywhere. During our stay, I sustained a deep cut while we were eating in bed. As a nurse, I asked my boyfriend to help me stop the bleeding. We went to the front desk to express our complaints, but unfortunately, no one was there to assist us. We left the hotel late at night due to the appalling cleanliness and the overpowering smell. More importantly, the wound was quite deep, and I ended up receiving six stitches in my hand that night well sitting in the ER for three hours. When I called to inquire about the $250 charge, they claimed that it was a waste hazard because of the blood. It was clear that they lacked empathy and accountability for their actions. I will never stay at this money stealing hotel again.

This motel has been my favorite for low prices, easy checkin, and a spa. Disappointed this time. My room smelled like cigarettes and urine.

They are always so welcoming. Great place to stay when visiting our Wildcat.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

We love this motel. We’ve always had great customer service, very friendly. I’ve had conversations with multiple staff and they’re always nice and engaging. Our rooms we’ve stayed in are always clean. The rooms are pretty basic, however, always really clean. We enjoy the modern look. This is our go to place to stay every time we visit Marquette. The price is right, cheaper than hotels around but just as nice, maybe even better than other hotels in the area.
Bri, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I’ve stayed at Cedar Motor Inn at least a half dozen times. Most of the time it’s been great. This last time - not so much. Our check-in experience was poor. The rep at the desk was very distracted and made check-in difficult. This was our first time staying with our kids with us. Every other time it had been just us (a couple). We had a two bed room. One of the beds was absolutely terrible. Worse than just a crummy mattress. The mattress was concave and the bed seemed to fold in. I told the front desk and their response was “I’ve been told all of our beds are not great” and they couldn’t do anything about it (they weren’t busy, they could have moved rooms). The room was hot even with the heat controls off. We had to have the air conditioning on even though the daily highs were around 50. First time with kids and the website says they have a new game room. Teenager was a little excited about that. I asked about it and they said they do have a game room but it’s only for rent. Would be good info to put in the website.
Erica, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was clean but no lights on door way entry, only two lamps in the room. Coffee was incredibly weak and breakfast was nothing to write home about. Staff was fine
Kenneth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Something in air the room was aggravating and the thermostat made the room too warm. The saving grace was the fan mode on AC unit as it purified the air a little and cooled the room to an acceptable temperature.
Jennifer, 3-night trip

Breakfast was good, but very limited options. Motel is older, but it was clean. Will stay there again when in the area.
Patrick, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointing Breakfast - ate elsewhere

Breakfast was non-existent. They only had a couple slices of bread, muffins, 3 types of cereal (no milk), and microwaved french toast sticks. I recommend the hotel remove the breakfast option completely if this is all they offer. Room cleanliness and amenities were standard for this price range. Would stay again.

Nice clean, cozy room. Decent tv (hard to hear, didn't want to disturb next door). But great channels.

wouldnt recommend unless its the only option

well we didnt even stay one night due to the mold we found in room 113's bathroom and what looked like water marks on the ceiling tiles but the staff was nice and helpful

Large room, clean, friendly staff. Would stay again, only negative i have is that the bed and pillows were uncomfortable. I had to go buy my own pillow.

Very inexpensive. Great location. Nothing fancy- it’s old and comfort of beds is ok, but it’s clean and staff is nice. We spend very little time in the room so it works for us.

The staff at check in was very nice! The place is older but was fine for a one night stay. Bed was hard and pillows were flat. Breakfast was very limited as well.
Joshua, 1-night trip

Parking lot a tad dark. Plenty of parking spaces. Breakfast healthy choices? Maybe the eggs and type of cereals.
Marsha, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Place was fine. Was near pool. Staff did not close pool at 10:30 pm as the rules stated. Young kid was screaming till after midnight while parents drank in pool area. Talk to night manager about situation and night management told me I should have told them to be quiet as he was busy. No accountability, blamed me for his inaction. Not a fan. The next night they all left at 10:30 pm not sure if someone talked to them or not. Would stay again just bring ear plugs. Breakfast was minimal. Otherwise good experience other than night manager.
Kevin, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed with this stay. We've been here several times without any issues but this time was different. The room was clean but: - the tv didn't work - the heat/AC unit on the wall wouldn't turn off - the bathroom sink was slow to drain - the coat rack hanging on the wall was in the most inconvenient spot. It was hard to get to one side of the bed without running into it. - the quality/options of the breakfast has declined. I don’t know if this is just a one time occurrence or the new normal. For the money it's still an OK place but if this is what it looks like going forward it's no longer a good value. If we had paid more it would be 1 or 2 stars at most.

Older motor Inn. I liked how they have enclosed the walkway to the rooms. Kind of a retro feel, yet clean and everything worked.
