Menominee and Marinette Lodgings

Special events like the August Harborfront festival fill rooms a year in advance. There aren't all that many rooms in the twin cities, so sometimes events like a bowling tournament will fill up the town. Don't count on getting a room without reservations.

Arranged from north to south.

ECONO LODGE
(906) 863-4431
This particular Econo Lodge gets raves from past visitors. Well equipped, nice views of the water, quite inexpensive, easy to find, great staff.

AMERICINN MOTEL & SUITES
(906) 863-8699; (800) 634-3444
Rather than being isolated on a commercial strip, this luxurious 62-room motel, new in 1999, is within town and right on Green Bay. It has a real sense of place – and a boat launch, too. The playground and picnic area with grills have good bay views. So does an entire wing of guest rooms, including a dozen with balconies or patios. Rates for a standard room (two queens, no lake view) in summer with no special events are $84. For a king room with whirlpool, microwave, and minifridge $112 (lakeview) and $102. Ask about suites and fireplace rooms. There's a guest laundry.
The indoor pool is pleasant, with a cathedral ceiling and lots of natural light – an AmericInn trademark, along with the big, comfortable lobby with fireplace. Here it has a nautical theme. There's a generous "enhanced" continental breakfast, with waffles, biscuits & gravy, fresh fruit, yogurt, ,and more. You could walk to the historic waterfront downtown, a little over a mile away, along First Street and only have two blocks along the busy road. Guests have free use of exercise facilities at the local Y. Reserve ahead for weekends in season, starting in mid-May.

M&M VICTORIAN INN
(715) 732-9531
This bed and breakfast is in an ornate, restored and dramatically decorated Queen Anne lumberman’s house in a mixed residential-commercial neighborhood about five blocks east of downtown Marinette. It’s the very place where innkeeper Jean Moore-Mallory grew up. The downstairs is given over to the dining and kitchen of an outstanding European bistro-style restaurant open, for dinner from 5 to 10 p.m. preparation area. The only common area for B&B guests is a downstairs sitting room with fireplace. (Restaurant guests go through it to reach a restroom.) Five guest rooms, furnished with antiques, have private baths, phones, and cable TV. One guest room ($125, weekends $140 in summer, more in winter) has a porch, sleeper sofa for adults traveling together, fireplace, and two-person whirlpool. Another large room ($110/$125) also has a two-person whirlpool. The other three rooms are from $75 to $90, or $80 to $100 on weekends. Full breakfast. No smoking.

BEST WESTERN RIVERFRONT INN
(715) 732-1000
In downtown Marinette, this six-story, 120-room facility is the area’s only full-service hotel with a restaurant and lounge. The pool is new. The hotel is in a good location for walkers, a right downtown, across from the library and the park on Stephenson Island, with the grand old homes of Riverside Avenue a few blocks away. Half the rooms have a pleasant river view. There’s in-room coffee, and free HBO and video games. Sample rates for standard queen rooms in midsummer: $89 with a river view, $84 otherwise. Riverview kings are $94.

MARINETTE INN
(715) 732-0594
This 22-room mom-and-pop motel, a mile from downtown and the Menominee River, has lots of convenient extras: microwaves and minifridges, dish TV, DVD players and wi-fi internet in each room, free photocopying and fax, and a fish-cleaning station and freezer. Free coffee in office. Rooms with one queen are currently $46 in winter, $49-$52 in summer. Ask about larger rooms and rooms with kitchens. On the edge of a residential area for walking, jogging.
