The location was good and the cost was reasonable. A good place to stay without many frills. I liked the full sized refrigerator and the kitchenette. Will definitely consider this place for our next stay in Houghton.

Didnt know there was no maid service. The key from the app didnt work-had to wait for an employee to let us in. The tub is incredibly slippery!! This needs to be addressed. No coffee or water in the lobby. Clean rooms, but overall not impressed

The room I had was like a bachelor apartment, with kitchen, medium sized fridge and lots of room. Very clean and newish room. It's not near downtown or the water but it was also much cheaper than the alternatives. The nearby Walmart was good for stocking up.

What I didn't like was that we were on the 2nd floor and had to lug suitcases/cooler up the stairs, It was hard for me to help my husband as I have a bad leg. What I did like about it was that on the 2nd floor there's no pets allowed. I don't think pets belong in hotels unless they're service dogs. (just my opinion)

Room was clean and spacious. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom had higher vanity than most hotels which my back appreciates! Only drawback was finding space in bathtub for soap and shampoo as there wasn't a soap tray.

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.
