Landmark Inn

always have a great stay at the Landmark!

I was at the Landmark Inn in Marquette with colleagues while attending a series of events and, over the course of about a day and a half, ate in the bar/restaurant and attended a reception.

By local standards, the Landmark is considered one of the better hotels in Marquette. That’s partly because the city’s lodging options are mostly lower-tier and mid-level chain hotels with many of them located off the highway on the outskirts of town. The Landmark Inn’s downtown location and historic character set it apart, at least on paper.

Amenities and services are very limited. Forget the nostalgia and historic architecture. The overall experience is on par with a typical Hampton Inn or Holiday Inn Express, albeit with the addition of a top-floor bar and a lobby-level bar/restaurant.

Even those amenities fall short of expectations. The lobby bar/restaurant isn’t open for lunch on weekdays, even during periods of high occupancy and major events, which seems like a missed opportunity. When it is open, the food is typical bar food — nothing memorable and not really in keeping with what the setting could support.

Our reception highlighted some of the hotel’s operational shortcomings. The event was held in a basement space. Service was nonexistent. The bar was supposed to be a cash bar, but the hotel didn’t have enough staff to operate it, so the reception proceeded without one. Buffet items arrived late, basics like soda were not consistently replenished, and there was no staff clearing tables, which left the room looking and feeling neglected.

All of this is frustrating because the Landmark Inn could be an elegant, old-school hotel. With better management, staffing, and attention to detail, it could be something special. As it stands, however, the Landmark Inn is a landmark in name only. The experience doesn’t justify the price. Save your money and book a chain hotel instead.

Every visit to Marquette we stay at the Landmark. It’s a beautiful historic hotel, walking distance to Lake Superior, restaurants and shopping. Our room was very well appointed with a comfortable bed and GREAT pillows.

A very nice, clean place. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They have a great bar/ restaurant. It is super close to downtown as well, all within walking distance to some great spots. I would definitely stay there again. Ask about the haunted room.

Capacious room tastefully appointed, two excellent bars on premise, great views, friendly staff.

We LOVED our stay at the Landmark Inn! It’s in an ideal location. The inn is beautiful with gorgeous views out of the windows. The staff are excellent- friendly and professional. Would definitely recommend this business

Had a wonderful stay with my boyfriend. The hotel is beautifully decorated for the holidays, and the King Suites were well worth the extra splurge for the upgrade. I had an excellent steak salad at the Northland Pub, followed by a nightcap in the Crow’s Nest cocktail lounge—the best Old Fashioned and espresso martini! The lounge is on the 6th floor and has some of the most amazing views I’ve seen in Marquette. Hotel is centrally located Downtown Marquette with Lake Superior just out the back door. Staff was friendly & helpful.
