Ramada by Wyndham Hancock Waterfront

This motel would appear "on paper" to be one of the best two or three places in Houghton or Hancock. I hope not. Location is pretty great right beneath the bridge, but they haven't done much the leverage it or make the property frontage attractive. This extends inside into a dated if reasonably nice interior. Pool may be nice but was due for cleaning in the morning; so, I didn't use it. River view from the comfortable, dated room was its redeeming feature although we couldn't see the bridge due to obstruction from another part of the building. Bathroom was nice but dated with old school tub/shower unit. Continental breakfast in meat and potatoes country.

We were there for a work trip and had some issues with our work van. They were wonderful and so accomodating helping us and letting us leave some items there until they could be picked up by the towing company.

This a great hotel. I go to a number of hotels in this price range around the country for work and this one surpasses the others. This is because of simple things: bed has a wood headboard which both looks better and is cleanlier, the bottom of the bed looks sharp with the indented metal frame and no bedskirt (which is always scary/gross looking), there are glass mugs & cups with the paper covering along with paper cups, the mirror has lighting all around, and I love when there is a table and chairs (instead of a gross upholstery chair like other hotels have). Only 2 things of note is it would be nice to have a full body length mirror, but the lighted bathroom mirror is large so it mostly works and to put refillable shampoo & conditioner bottles on the walls of the shower to reduce waste.

The hotel was clean. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was good. There is no elevator. Every time you wanted to go into the pool room, you needed to have someone from the front desk unlock it. There is no restaurant on site but plenty of choices within a couple miles or less.

The front desk staff was friendly and accommodating, they kindly changed our room to first floor, which had been booked through a service. Many times motels won't do that when you don't book direct as the best rooms are reserved for guests paying full price. The room was clean and an array of toiletry items were provided. One thing I would have liked is if there would have been a selection of different degrees of softness wth the pillows. The breakfast was adequate with some choices for gluten free, like boiled eggs, yogurt, fresh fruit. It was snowing and blowing when we arrived and I was a little concerned about how the condition of the parking lot would be as we were leaving before sunrise. It was plowed out early and all we had to do was clean off the car and go. Also, the entrance to the rooms was through the lobby which to me is very convenient. I would be happy to stay at this motel the next time I am in the area.

A good option for the Houghton/Hancock area. Clean and quiet. All the staff I encountered was friendly and very helpful. The pool and hottub area was clean, well stocked with towels and had late hours which I appreciated.

The hotel has declined in the last 4 years. Stained carpets. Free breakfast ran out of food before it closed. No bar. Hotel appearances are run down

The overall property was nice. I was very unhappy when we found out that the room we had rented did not have a kitchen. It said on the website that it had a kitchen. It was a microwave and a refrigerator with extra counter space. Also the pictures of the room were misleading making it appear there could have been a full kitchen. Very disappointed in this aspect. The rest of the hotel was nice.

Be aware that there is no elevator if youre booked for the 2nd floor. Room was clean & comfortable. Nice stay overall.
