New place. Looked very nice. Didn’t have a ton of rooms which made it less busy. Could hear people talking at times. Bed was firm. Spacious bathroom. Great kitchen area in room. Not a lot of parking right out from (all handicapped)- had to park on side of building. Friendly staff. Had a few packaged food items could grab for breakfast. Would stay here again.

Great place that is a suite with full kitchen, dishes. Very clean. Best part they have a black washcloth for removing your make up. I felt bad using the white ones.

Before I booked this stay, I had never heard of Independence Stay. I was reluctant, but the reviews looked okay. This was a great hotel for the money. It was very new and clean. It was basic, a little "industrial" but everything was there including nice little touches (like a box of tissues in the room and another box of tissues in the bathroom). The space was great with large kitchen area, table and chairs, a separate desk, and a large bathroom. The artwork on the walls was lovely photos of Houghton and the area. We were very impressed. Tanner, who checked us in, was kind, efficient, and accommodating. Thank you.

The rooms and lobby were very clean. There was abundant parking and conveniently located to the town of Houghton, MI. What surprised me was that it had no elevator. It didn't bother us at all because we are still very ambulatory. I suppose that the elderly would be placed on the lower floor, but that limits the capacity for some.

The staff were really friendly and attentive. I also only paid about $133 per night for this property (somehow booking in advance) which made it an even better experience. Having a full kitchen and separate bedroom was great!

Excellent place among many: good value amid hotel row. Clean, comfortable, usual amenities. Having to download app (96mb!?) for room key is annoying bc I still had to go to desk to check in and out. Easy drive to all local sights.

The rooms were very large/spacious. The check in was easy. And the restaurant was across the parking lot. Really couldn't have asked for much more.

It was great to have so much room: full kitchen area, living area, bedroom, and large bathroom. Everything was so new, even though I think the hotel was a few years old. Our 4-day stay was great! I would stay again if I was in the area.

A newly built hotel. Clean, spacious and comfortable. No elevator so it was a pain to carry suitcases up to second floor. Gave only 2 stars because we had to checkout a day early and pay for third day in spite of trying to modify reservation on Hotels.com before the two day cancellation policy and tried calling hotel directly to modify reservation. The room rate increased drastically so changing to two nights instead of three would result in a higher cost so we just paid for our original three night reservation. Don’t understand why we couldn’t just eliminate one day without canceling whole reservation and rebooking at higher rate. Not sure if this was Hotels.com or Independence Stay’s cancellation policy but manager was no help even though this was a “pay at property” not a prepaid reservation.

The room was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. It was perfect for our sever night stay in the area. All our encounters with the staff were excellent. This is appears to be a relatively new property and was in exquisite shape. It was an excellent value for the area. It is located in the main retail area of the city witin a 5 to 10 minute drive (or closer) to most dining options.
On the negative side, just be aware there is no elevator for this 2 story property and the grab and go breakfast options are very, very limited. I would recommend Roy's Pasteries on the riverfront downtown for some of the most delicious treats I've tasted.
Overall, I would highly recommend this property. It was a great value and very restful stay in a beautiful area.

This hotel had a new feel to it. Everything was clean. Room was spacious with a refrigerator, microwave, hot plate type stove, etc. Bathroom was big with a lot of area to put your toiletries and curling wands, etc. Could not hear anyone else in nearby rooms with the exception of hotel doors closing. There is a washer and dryer down the hall. They do provide breakfast bars but breakfast is not included. I was ok with that as i was spending $150 less a night than my friends at the Hampton. The bed was super comfortable too. The only problem i had was preregistering for the room so i had to go through the registration desk when i arrived. Service is spotty in the U.P. I will stay there again when in the area.

The hotel was reasonably clean. The pastries offered for breakfast were of the Little Debbie variety. Think mini doughnuts and muffins. There was no daily housekeeping, which surprised me. If you needed towels or t.p. you had ask at the front desk.
