Tall Pines Motel

Pros: - Cute, cozy little room - Great price for those on a budget - Close to Marquette - The lady at the desk was super nice and fun! - They allow dogs! :) Cons: - The hot water shower knob didn't work. Thank goodness my brother brought a screwdriver with him and fixed it!! We noticed it wasn't working when it was late and the office was closed so we couldn't have asked them for a screwdriver. It might be a good idea for you to bring a screwdriver if you come here - When we first arrived, nobody was in the office and when we called the number posted on the door, nobody picked up and it said their mailbox was full. We were so confused and didn't know what to do. We eventually went to our room (we were told what room number earlier over the phone) and huzzah! The door was unlocked and the

This is the second time that we have stayed at Tall Pines. The owners are on site and very friendly and accommodating. The rooms may be dated, but they are clean!! Our double room had a small fridge and microwave. The beds were comfortable! They allowed our 3 dogs. We won't hesitate to stay again. Who wants to spend a bunch on lodging when you are just laying your heads down then going out to enjoy the beauty of the U.P?

Tall Pines is a wonderful little motel just outside of Marquette, MI. My dog and I stayed here for several months when we first moved to Michigan. They offer very reasonable long-term rates, and the staff is warm and friendly. Our room had everything we needed.

We travel through the UP yearly to get to our cabin and this motel is the perfect distance to stay after our first day of travel. Really can't beat the price and I love supporting smaller establishments like this. The woman we spoke with (I believe Christine?) Was very kind and accommodating. Walked us to our room and even took a peek inside to make sure it was up to par before leaving us. She also mentioned a discount for cash payments so next year we'll probably bring cash with us. Our room had a small flat screen TV with descent basic channels, a good sized mini fridge, a small microwave, and a pretty big closet. The water heater was the best we've gotten from a UP motel so far! Both my husband and I took long showers and there was no sign of running out of hot water. The towels were al

This place was great if you want to save a buck and we do. Motels around Lake Superior are outrageously expensive. Worse than Hawaii if you can believe it. A couple ladies run this motel outside town in the country. Super safe! They leave the keys in the room. If you can imagine this, she met us in the parking lot and set us up. The best service ever. She brought my receipt to the room. It's all on one floor, drive up to your room. Ours had new floors. She promised us a clean room and it was! Moderate sized, refrigerator and microwave no bath but a shower. Dated room with a CRT TV. Hadn’t seen one in a while. It was off the highway and quiet. In a place where rooms run ($200-400) this was $75. We are doing a travel book and blog 49 states in 4 years. I wish we could find more motels like t
