The Independence was very clean, the room was very nice. It was convenient and the staff was very pleasant. Even though they did not have a restaurant nor continental breakfast, they did give us a coupon for the restaurant /bar/arcade next door. We will stay there again. Near to Michigan Tech, but not walking distance.

Very clean and large rooms
Was up in Houghton visiting our daughter at MTU and stayed here a couple of nights. This hotel is very new and very clean and is close to restaurants and shopping in Houghton as well as the college. Our room was large and had a kitchen with full size refrigerator, cooktop, sink and some basic cookware and utensils. Everything in the hotel and in our room seemed new and clean. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. Only negative I can think of is there was no hot breakfast provided and no decaf coffee available but they did provide some pre-wrapped muffins and fruit near the desk. Overall it was a great stay and we would stay here again.
