Overall nice place to stay and much cheaper than downtown Marquette. It’s an older building, but the owners have done a great job updating the decors. We will definitely stay there again next year on our annual UP tour.
Amazing room with a view. Very modern. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. Even a balcony! Looking forward to stay again. Also quick to respond to txting number which made not having a front desk a non issue. Two thumbs up for that 👍👍
Everything was really quite perfect. The only criticism that I can offer is that the TV though it’s a huge TV and it’s beautiful. It doesn’t have reception good enough that when you’re trying to watch something every couple of minutes it has to stop and reboot so I would only say that the TV service you either take it out or you get a service that people can watch full movies and TV shows without waiting Every two minutes to see or hear what you were watching thank you you
We spent two nights at The Birchy. Absolutely loved it! Bed was so comfortable. The room was very clean and spacious. The view of the lake was beautiful. It was quiet and check-in/out was easy. We will definitely stay there again!
Loved that it was so close to Marquette without being downtown. The view of the lake was beautiful! The only drawback was our room was never serviced. So no fresh towels. Our stay was 4nights.

The pool is empty and not being repaired. No beach access, either. I told them it was a problem becase we would have picked a different motel. She said. "Sorry."
Most rooms have a balcony or patio. Ours had neither.
The bed was incredibly comfortable. The lake view room had a better view of the highway than the lake. The highway and the air conditioner were loud. The birches in the picture are only visible from the parking area. Very clean and comfortable.
