Landmark Inn

Anytime we have the chance to stay here it’s always a good stay. The location is perfect close to our daughter’s house. The room is cozy and the views are beautiful. The eclectic atmosphere of the hotel is welcoming and everyone from the front desk, to the restaurant employees, to the crows nest bar with views - just adds so much value - we keep coming back! The Spring sale was such a great incentive to book this weekend. We will definitely be back!

This property was in a convenient location for our granddaughter's graduation from NMU.

Some of the staff felt cold and unwelcoming, and it seemed as though requests or placing an order were an inconvenience to their day. The window in my room did not latch properly, causing constant noise. The walls are very thin, and I could clearly hear other guests through them. Overall, I do not feel the added cost was worth the stay.

The rooms were very spacious. I appreciated the staff. The hotel was quiet and accommodating.

Friendly staff the rooms on the 6th floor have weather stripping on the doors and it was extremely quiet.

Overall it has been lovely. Both bars were fun.our bed was clean and comfortable. My only complaint is the toilet that is the same size as the ones in the preschool at church😵‍💫I’m 70 years old, have 4 joint replacements, and it is very difficult to get on and off. Please install taller toilets, or grab bars.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

The hotel was perfect--service, location, room, EVERYTHING!

Location

I grew up in Marquette and love to stay at the Landmark. I remember going to lunch at the original Crow’s Best restaurant with my friend and her Mom. It’s a beautiful, historic piece of Marquette’s history and brings back great memories. I love the food in the restaurant, and the cocktail lounge is fabulous. So much nicer than a sterile hotel setting, and I can walk all over downtown and my old haunts from the front door.

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.
