MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) – A newly opened hotel says it offers more than just a place for people to stay in Marquette.
Best Western Plus of Marquette Hotel & Suites officially opened its doors in December. Aimee Raffaelli, the Moyle Company Hospitality Sales and Marketing Manager, says Marquette is the perfect location to open because of Northern Michigan University, the location of UP Health System – Marquette and the outdoor recreation opportunities found around it.
Raffaelli says they want to be a positive presence in the Marquette community.
“We plan to collaborate with local businesses for promotions and events,” Raffaelli said. “We also want to offer some of our local organizations special rates. We really want to be a positive influence in the Marquette area. We want to partner with all the community events and we also want to offer local employment opportunities and just really get involved with the local community.”
Inside the hotel, there are murals of Lake Superior on every floor, a 24-hour fitness gym with a Peloton, an indoor pool and a full breakfast for guests.
The Best Western Plus is located on Wilson Street off of South McClellan Avenue in Marquette.
