My husband and I wanted a place to stay that was walkable to the shops in Bayfield. All the reviews indicated cleanliness, however, this place was really clean! Comfortable bed and easy walk to town. Our room was updated and really cute. There are no frills here-but if you’re looking for a convenient, Clean place to stay, this is it.

Only issue were the blinds don't block out the sunlight so sleeping in isn't easy, low flow shower heads. The room we were in was next to business laundry and was loud in the morning. It's a beautiful place and location is ideal only issues were the ones described.

We didn’t get a queen size bed. It was a twin size.
Twin size but you can see our receipt we suppose to get a queen size. We paid for the queen size so we didn’t get what we paid for. Not so happy about it.

We enjoyed the overall stay. There were lots of nice things to use in the office such as a sound machine. The only thing we didn't like was that since there wasn't anyone in the office checkout and in a a little awkward.

The hotel is located right by Lake Superior and there is a path to walk along side the lake, which is very nice. The checkin and checkout are more or less self service and convenient. One thing that makes me rate only 4 rather than 5 stars is that I think there are some extra charges in addition to what was shown on expedia when I booked the room. That was a little surprising. I feel that the pricing should be more transparent, since obviously we choose hotels based on a variety of factors one of which is price.

Beautiful trail behind the motel that you can use to walk into town. Rooms were clean and we had good service when we needed help with the tv remote. The outdoor chairs looking over the bay were a nice touch. Bed was not the most comfortable one I’ve had in a motel. Nice fluffy towels were great!

The cottage at Seagull Bay

The cottage was very clean and cozy. Less than 5 minutes from the quaint downtown. While not on the beach there were beautiful views overlooking Lake Superior. The steps were a touch steep to the loft, so not for the physically challenged. 2 beds in loft with plenty of pillows. Plus 1 cozy bedroom downstairs. Full kitchen minus a dishwasher. Great quality towels. Coffee maker, microwave, dishsoap, hairdryer, soap and shampoo in the unit. We didn't need anything else they had in the office to take back to our cottage. 10 a.m. check-out was our only challenge. Check-in is a 3 hour wi fow but we didn't run into travel problems so that was a nonissue. We would stay there again when we go back.
