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.
