Good place to stay
Great rooms. Overall the hotel feels a bit dated but still in good shape. Pool and hot tub were great, though there was sand in the pool that should have been cleaned out. Breakfast area is new and spacious.

Cedar Motor Inn
The Cedar Motor Inn in Marquette Michigan was a good hotel for the price. It is located close to shopping and restaurants. The hotel is dated but many upgrades were made in our room. It was clean. The continental breakfast was good. Would stay there again.

Decent for price
Simple amenities with individual access via outside doors. Had a retro vibe with old school rotary phones, pics of the area and colorful (tiny) coffee pots. Only issue I had was the bed was pretty firm. Breakfast was basic, a couple cereals and tiny muffins. For the money, a decent deal.

Have stayed here many times and everyone is a great experience. You always know what to expect from the rooms and the staff is great. I do wish there were more selections for breakfast though…

Would stay again
There were issues with the room key both at check in and the next night when we returned to our room. Maybe a battery issue they said. Rooms should be checked to make sure the keys will work. Also the lighting in the room was poor and there are not enough towel racks in the bathroom. However the room was clean, staff is nice, and the location is good. We would stay there again.
