Republic Hotels

"I admit we didn't expect much. For the price we had hoped to get a moderately clean, decently comfy-ish room, with hopefully working wifi and maybe even donuts for breakfast. But we were very pleasantly surprised. Admittedly the outside looks a bit like an abandoned building, but the inside is nicely decorated and comfy. Our beds were comfy, our room was clean, and all the assorted bits and bobs worked (although the fridge froze everything solid!). The pool was clean and not too crowded, and the weekend breakfast offered a surprising array of choices - yoghurt, cereal, eggs, bagels, biscuits and gravy, bacon, potatoes (these were admittedly pretty terrible), fruit, coffee and juice, scones, plus a few other things I'm probably forgetting. In the interest of full disclosure, the backdoor to the building was supposed to be accessible with your room keycard, but the lock was covered over with a thick slab of tape, so anyone could get in and out at any time. Also, the chain lock inside the room was broken. So from a security standpoint, it's probably not the safest location. Then again, Ishpeming isn’t widely known for it's frequent serial murders, so you'll probably be fine. All in all, for the price you pay, you get more than your money's worth, and we were very happy. We will definitely stay here again."
