Baraga Vacations from $908

Staff was really nice. Allowed us to use their facility hours before check in. Thank you

Amazing location. Right on the Portage with a fantastic view and walking distance from a great eatery on the waterfront.

Room good staff in morning not friendly

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.

I liked the jimmy dean sausage croissant
