Through the Doors of Downtown
An inside look at the businesses of Downtown Marquette.
Ramada of Marquette
Welcome to the Ramada of Marquette, an award-winning hotel conveniently located on Washington Street in downtown. After opening its doors in 1963 as the aptly named Downtowner, the hotel became the Ramada of Marquette in 1973. Today, the Ramada is a full-service hotel, under the ownership of Randy Larson and Tim Larson, that employs 60 people and features overnight rooms, banquet and meeting space, and Harley's, an on-sight restaurant and lounge.
The Ramada of Marquette prides itself on excellent customer service and outstanding accommodations. Overnight lodging options range from standard rooms to spacious luxury suites, all boasting brand new bedding and pillows, in addition to all of the desired amenities and first-class service designed to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. To provide an even more memorable experience, they have just completed remodeling the pool area, which includes an indoor pool, whirlpool and sauna, and have recently added a new fitness center to their offerings. What's more, the Ramada plans to begin remodeling all of its overnight rooms in March!
If you are planning a wedding, conference, meeting or baby/bridal shower, the Ramada features over 5,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. Combined with their experienced sales and banquet staff, it is the perfect venue for any special occasion. Call today to book your event. Their staff is ready to assist you every step of the way.
Harley's is a full-service restaurant & lounge, conveniently housed inside the Ramada, that offers nightly drink specials and live entertainment on selected evenings. A schedule of live entertainment for March is provided at right.
According to Ed O'Brien, Director of Sales, the Ramada of Marquette enjoys being in downtown because of the support of other local businesses and the convenience it offers their visitors. "Being downtown allows our guests a convenient walk to local businesses and to Lake Superior's Lower Harbor." The Ramada of Marquette is the ideal home away from home.
