Awesome location, clean beds, friendly, BUT…

Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean, but the hotel was a little more dated than I expected. Breakfast was pretty standard. They have s’mores supplies every night, which was fun, but the baskets/napkins where they kept the supplies (the ingredients) looked dirty and looked like the napkins hadn’t been changed for days.

Great balcony view but....

We were looking for a room with a balcony/view of Lake Superior and got it. Small but had nice polywood chairs with small attached table between. Spent a good amount of time there reading, watching ships & boats on the lake, and watching people on the Lake Walk below. However, the rooms are very outdated and worn. The sofa had a slash across the back and was frayed everywhere. One mattress was definitely old and uncomfortable. The elevator made very loud bands and vibrations as it kicked in (there are 3 floors). The staff were friendly and good people.

Just ok

The staff was friendly and we were able to check in early. Breakfast seemed to have many options. I do not recommend a pool side room. Very loud into the late hours of the night. Rooms were not very clean. Found straws and ear plugs on the floor.

I had a room with a balcony, which had a phenomenal view and was a highlight of the room. The hotel was very clean, with the exception of these things in my room: the drapes had stains and food on them, the upholstered chairs had stains and food on and in them, and the top surface of the dresser had a sticky substance spilled all over it. Other than those issues I had a great stay and no other complaints about the property. The beds were clean and comfortable and the bathroom and shower were fantastic. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the area.

The outside area needs cleaning up! Cigarette butts laying around, chairs and tables dirty, bird poop on chairs and tables, not welcoming or pretty. Very unfortunate as the view is lovely. Our room was dark and dreary.
