I have stayed at the Marquette house on two separate occasions for a total of 5 nights. I felt the need to leave a review because there are so many bad ones, and really, this place isn't bad. Front desk staff is friendly. Rooms are not new by any means but for the price and location they are top notch. I never got bed bug bites and never got anything stolen out of the fridge or my room, but then again, I knew it was a hostel and kept all of my valuables in my locked vehicle. Don't expect a 5 star hotel and you will be perfectly fine.

The hostel was really clean and quite. I was a nice place to lay your head down at night after I night of many tours. I believe I paid $50 a night which is really cheap. Parking is on the side of the house, and not on any street. The dorms are divided for men and women. The staff was friendly and helped with accommodations.
