Invest some money into improving the rooms. The bed I slept in leaned to the side, and the couch bed had such a dent n the mattress that it was more comfortable to just sleep on the couch.

Beautiful sunset view

We had a nice , quick overnight stay at the Sunset Hotel which is situated facing a beautiful bay off Lake Superior. The check in staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and had two rooms each with a queen bed. The bathroom is small but adequate. There is a beautiful sunset view from each room or the front of the property. One suggestion would be a few more electrical outlets or ubs outlets near the beds.

Old fashioned yes, clean yes, fancy no but just a nice quaint relaxing quiet place. Chairs outside along the walls of Lake Superior. Actually had a clear view of the Northern lights that night we stayed.
