Categories

Cleanliness
5.5
Mixed to negative: multiple reports of grime, hair on the bathroom floor and strong smells (pot/meth) in some rooms, though a few guests reported rooms as clean.
Service
8.5
Mixed: kiosk check-in felt impersonal and staff were at times slow or inattentive (late TV fix, early room entry), but some guests reported friendly, helpful attendants when present.
Location
9.9
Positive: repeatedly described as convenient, close to highway/trails and well-lit; suitable for quick overnight stays despite an awkward parking layout.
Room Quality
7
Mixed: several guests found beds comfortable, AC quiet and rooms adequate for a night; others reported dampness, rusty water, rubbing bathroom doors and some uncomfortable beds.
Amenities
5.4
Underwhelming: no real breakfast (only coffee/tea), broken ice machine, intermittent TV issues and limited on-site services; kiosk-only check-in reduced perceived service.
Value for Money
8.5
Mixed but generally positive for many: several guests called it good value or the best price in the area for a simple overnight stay, though some felt price did not match condition.
Food and Beverage
4.5
Negative: guests expected breakfast but found none (only coffee and herbal/green tea, no black tea) and reported broken ice machine — overall poor F&B offering.
Overall Experience
9.9
Generally acceptable for short stays: many guests appreciated location, comfortable beds and good value for an overnight stay despite notable cleanliness and amenity issues that hurt longer-term appeal.

I have stayed here before & will again. Next time I will bring my own juice & fruit.
Pros:

Check in was fairly easy & my room was next to the lobby & entrance door. That was great for unloading & loading the car. The shower was comfortably hot & the fridge comfortably cold.

Cons:

I did expect some kind of breakfast besides coffee. I don't drink coffee so I was looking for juice. None to be had. Would've appreciated a piece of toast, a piece of fruit or a bowl of cereal.

Cons:

Woke up the next morning and opened our door for it to smell like burnt meth ... Yes I know the smell as I'm a recovering addict. And to say the least was not impressed. People up all night, walking around talking, tv blaring.

Never again, I’ll be sure to tell all my local friends, family and more to spread the word
Pros:

Close to highway

Cons:

Staff just assumed we checked out and knocked/tried to come into room well before checkout at a one night stay and had very inconvenienced attitudes. They were clearly unhappy with their workplace. Checking in with a kiosk and a video was extremely impersonal and felt very cheap. We could barely close the bathroom door because it rubs against the floor. There was grime and poor quality cleaning everywhere. The price of the room was crazy for a weeknight. I worked at this exact hotel building back in 2008 before moving from the area. Little to nothing has changed except cheap facelifts from paint and carpet in some spots. The parking lot is awful, albeit very well lit in its favor. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. For the price, the value is god awful. Especially compared to the comparably priced hotel up the road that is miles ahead in quality and customer service.

an ok stay
Pros:

It was easy to find and clean.

Cons:

The whole facility was a bit shabby. I was ok with the clerk being a vid screen. But the guy, on the screen quibbled about the two beds i booked and said he had upgraded us to one king bed. He insisted it was booking.com's issue. I checked my confirmation and it cagily said that i had booked a room, not what kind. I have probably booked fifty hotel rooms on booking and they always say what kind of room you booked or how many beds minimum. I travel with my son so one bed was a no go!

A great hotel right in Ironwood MI.
Pros:

We were very pleased with our stay at the Magnuson Hotel. The hotel was in a very convenient location. I was a bit hesitant about the kiosk check-in process, but it went extremely smoothly and the attendant was very friendly! The room was clean, the air conditioner was quiet and efficient (really nice for sleeping). The beds were comfortable. We felt safe. It was a very nice overnight stay and good value for the money.

Pros:

We had an unexpected injury on the trails and needed a place to stay for the night. This place was perfect. The beds were comfortable and the location was good. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a place to crash for a night.

Disappointing!
Pros:

The lobby and entrance are rundown, and check-in was harder due to having to use the kiosk rather than talking to someone in person. They say online that there is breakfast, but there was no food at all, just coffee and hot water with green and herbal tea (no black tea). The ice machine was broken. The price was good, and the room was clean, but we will never return or recommend this hotel to others.
