I had a great stay. The room was perfect with two pastries waiting for me. Then at 5, free drinks on the rooftop terrace. Great location and very helpful staff.

We absolutely loved our stay at Explore. The rooftop was a lovely escape and the breakfast in the morning ( a surprise for us) was really good. If we are ever back this way, we will definitely stay at Explore again.

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The included snacks, happy hour and breakfast items were a real bonus. Excellent location. Will definitely stay here again the next time we visit.

Great choice for a stay in downtown Marquette. I’m not totally enamored with virtual hotels, but this one is changing my mind. It’s a lively place, and the reduced overhead translates to a larger and nicer room at a lower cost. The future is coming, this one pulls it off better than any other we’ve stayed in. Excellent location for a visit, and Shawnee the resident employee was friendly and helpful.

If you are able to stay here DO IT! This place is so much more than a hotel. It is a lovely experience in itself. The location is prime there’s plenty of places within walking distance for food, drink and fun. 10/10 recommend Explore and we will be back again.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful place to stay, though it was a little odd having a person-less check-in. Two other guests and I had to do some figuring to let ourselves in. Great having snacks and drinks available, not to mention a rooftop cocktail happy hour. Breakfast pasties and wonderful pastries. Shawnee was very friendly, hospitable and helpful. A unique hotel experience.

This is a well appointed boutique style hotel offering sought after amenities. A parking pass is provided. The continental breakfast features local high quality pastries. There is a beverage fridge at your disposal, so you can grab a water on your way out the door. There are e-bikes for tooling around town. (Marquette is hilly!) And Golden Hour drinks on the rooftop deck are a must if you’re so inclined. -Every attempt will be made to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

Our stay was exceptional. From the friendly staff down to the welcome basket in our room. We stayed for New Years Eve and the location is perfect for enjoying downtown Marquette without having to worry about driving. We will absolutely be planning future stays.

Rooms were really nice (especially the shower!) and the food/drink amenities were great as well. Location is perfect for exploring Marquette, as it’s right in the downtown area and just a couple blocks from the waterfront and Washington Street (the Main Street of downtown). Would absolutely stay there again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It was centrally located to everything in downtown Marquette and the extra amenities were a big plus. We enjoyed nightly Gilded Hour on the rooftop deck, using the electric bikes to travel on the nearby bike trails and the morning pastry breakfast. The staff were kind and accommodating to all of our needs. If we visit Marquette in the future, we’ll definitely be staying again.
