Magnuson Copper Crown

The rooms are wonderful and the staff is more than willing to make you happy. We are rock hunters. Our clerk was more than willing to give us recommendations on where other people have talked about going. She told us of the rock museum which turned out to be a high point on our adventure! She also was a quilter like me, so she told me to be sure to come back for the quilt shop hop.

I recommend booking your room directly through the front desk for the best price rather than online. My room was well maintained & very clean. That is what's most important to me! I requested a room on the main floor which I received however room 108 has only a view of cement walls & trash in both the front & back. Therefore I kept my drapes closed for my entire 4 night stay. The staff was very nice & helpful however when I checked in, they never mentioned anything about a continental breakfast, having a pool or that housekeeping would only be provided after 3 nights. I was there 4 nights & received no housekeeping. Over all I would stay here again if in the area however there are many issues to remedy that would make this hotel much more desireable.

Very nice rooms. They were big and had comfy beds. We had a handicapped room and my only complaint was that they didn’t have walk-in showers instead of a tub. Otherwise everything was very nice. Continental breakfast was adequate and employees were friendly and helpful. We’ve stayed at the MAGNUSON before and would stay there again.

I chose the Magnuson mainly by price so I was expecting some compromise on quality. Instead I found everything to be impeccable. The staff was courteous, the room clean and functional in every detail. The breakfast room is small but nothing was missing (and there was a remote control to turn off the TV). There is parking within the structure, some covered, and a large lot directly across the street. Well positioned for access to the Keweenaw and to Houghton. I fully recommend it.

Began with a computerized check in- strange- very impersonable- not easy to understand - no way to have complaints or needs met once in the room The pillows and linens had hair on them - nasty The bathroom was dirty and had hair all over the floor- clumps of hair even- nasty

Our room was okay however my husband detected a slight smoke smell so we had to keep the window open. About 1233 am the smoke alarm woke us, my husband turned it off and we didn't hear other alarms so we thought it was a fluke. I tried to call the front desk but there was no dial tone on the room phone, we went back to sleep at that point. About 30 minutes later the alarm went off again and my husband yanked it off the wall while I tried to call the front desk both on the room phone and my cell phone and no answer either place. My husband walked the alarm down to the front desk and all that was said was "okay thank you, I'll let maintenance know." When we checked out in the morning, we complained about the smoke alarm and the front desk said they were sorry and that the phone system had been out of order for several days. We let them know that we should have been apprised at check-in regarding the non-functioning phone system. We told them that a non-functioning communication system is a safety hazard and had there been a true emergency they would have no way of letting their guests know that there were safety issues in the hotel. To which they had mo reaction but for blank stares.

Copper Crown is an older motel of the vintage motor lodge type of place, but don’t be conceived by age. It is very clean, very inviting and we thoroughly enjoy our stay. There are good restaurants, nearby and a great area just to walk around and enjoy!

This is my favorite place to bookend a trip to Isle Royale. The staff is super friendly and helpful– they made sure I got my backpack from the airport when it didn't arrive with my flight, got me every number for cabs to make sure I made it to the ferry in time to leave, and just that I had everything I needed. The accommodations are comfortable and quiet, and the proximity to really good food is perfect.

The front desk employee, Cat, was stupendous. Very friendly and helpful and kind. The room was clean, quiet and functional. The hot tub was a joy. I forgot about the sauna until it was too late, but I am sure that I would have loved it. The breakfast was tasty.
