We have had wonderful stays here in the past. This time we had to wait half an hour past check-in time to get into our room. This is not good PR for The Inn. Also, there should be someone responsible for replenishing the breakfast items when they run out. On the plus side, our lakeside balcony room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, and we are thankful for that.

The roof top pool was fantastic and the staff was nice even though I did not have much interaction with them. I would say compared to the other hotels on canal park the Inn was showing it's age. And the breakfast was lacking. Plus when we were looking for an afternoon coffee it was empty.

We always look forward to sraying at the Inn on Lake Superior when we visit the North Shore. We love sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view of the Lake and the ships, The smores each evening are a special treat.
