“Worst motel stay ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

We stayed at the Travelodge so my daughter could visit MTU. It is an eight hour drive for us. The walls are so thin that you hear every person that walks by, every conversation that is done outside your room. The motel was filled with snowmobilers the weekend we were there and it was nothing but a big party. We got a total of two hours sleep the first night and then the second night it was quiet until 3:30am and then the partiers were back. We just decided to leave then, so I had to drive 8 hours on about 5 hours of sleep in two nights. My daughter will be going to MTU, so I will be visitng the area alot but I will never stay at the Travelodge again, if there is not another hotel available in Houghton I will change the day to visit or stay out of town.

Room Tip: Stay at the Ramada!

“Good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

What is great about this place is location. You can walk to some Houghton musts, like visiting the Keweenaw Brewing Company, the Douglas House and the Library. Those are just three of our favorites.

Room Tip: Parking is odd, not a great place if you have a huge truck or trailer.

“location location location, right next to the DownTower”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

Just went snowmobiling here. it was cold and bumpy. ended up landing at Mt.Bohemia and climbed to the top and enjoyed the view with Heather. About 2 feet of snow at the top, 1 ft at bottom. Ended up in copper city for new years.

Service:
Pool: sauna that works great, warm pool, hot hot tub
Parking: snowmobile parking good and truck and trailer at bridge, get a drink on your way back at the DT

Breakfast: waffels with yougurt and donuts and coffee to get it goin

Enjoyed our travels here.

“rooms”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

I was booked at the travelodge houghton, when my wife & I arrived we wanted to see the room , we went up and looked ,the beds looked like they just were slept in. the mattress had big indentations. the bathroom was not clean & the room smelled musty. we refused to stay there ,so i went down to the desk and cancelled ,they refused to give me back my money I booked thru hotels.com. they gave me back one day& said if i called back the next day & the room had been rented out they would give me a full refund ,they said the room had not been rented so i lost one day. So i booked with another hotel in Houghton, the room was very clean & overlooked portage lake. I would never recommend this hotel to any one. they need to completely remodel the whole hotel. by the way the hotel I stayed at was the magnason.

“Not on your life”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

person found this review helpful

As soon as we entered the room we were hit with a nasty, musty smell...like cat urine. The room was dark and out of date, not very clean looking or smelling. We immediately checked back out.
The desk clerk however was very accommodating with canceling our reservation, giving us a full refund, which he did not have to do.
