"Noce place"

"I almost hesitate to give this a five-star review, because I don’t want the secret to get out – this is the best place to stay in Houghton! Our son is a student at MTU, so we are in the area numerous times a year. We have stayed at various other properties (both Airbnb’s and other hotels), but Independence Stay has become our go-to spot. The property is always immaculately clean, modern, and well-maintained. The staff is friendly. The rooms are comfortable, with just enough kitchen supplies to prepare simple meals. One thing to note ahead of time is that there is no elevator, so if you are on the second floor, you will need to take the stairs. Obviously not a deal-breaker for us, so we’ll be back the next time we’re in Houghton. "

"Great pool "

"Customer service was great! It’s directly across the water where you watch the sunrise and moon reflect on the water. Super clean and comfortable. Looking forward to next visit!"

"Our stay was wonderful! Great location, friendly staff, exceptionally clean room and breakfast was awesome too! We would absolutely stay here again! "

"Good for a quick stay"

"Room was good. A little small for 4 People but it serves the purpose. "

"Friendly staff, clean rooms, great views, and close to all the downtown shops and restaurants. We loved our stay!"

"The bathroom was a little small, but we spent most of our time exploring the area and not much time at the hotel. The breakfast was good, hotel was quiet and the staff were extremely friendly. I will be staying here again "
