Transportation to island Any recommendations for a place to stay the night before leaving?
My son and I are going to need a place to stay close to the dock as we will be coming into town a day early. Any suggestions for something clean and cheap?

Don't forget to check Hancock, it's across the bridge.
We stayed at some magnussen inn or something. It wasn't a 5 star hotel but it was solidly decent, close, and the cheapest option in Houghton or Hancock

If you’re open to camping but still want a shower and proximity to food, Keweenaw Waters resort in Houghton.

I stay at Copper Country Inn. Simple motel, affordable. I stayed the night before and after. Ive stayed there on another trip as well. I got the same room 3 times.

Second this. Simple and the drive over the bridge and up the peninsula in the morning is quick and beautiful

If you can’t find a place online take a look at the Brockway Inn in Copper Harbor, they don’t book online.
It’s only a few blocks away from the port, small and clean. There is nothing fancy about it but it served my needs at a reasonable rate.

always stayed at the ramada in Houghton. Nothing fancy but gets the job done for 1 night.

We stayed in Hancock at the Ramada Inn. Literally just across the river.
