Great hotel right next to Lake Superior

This hotel is nice and clean and updated. We loved having our balcony door open to hear the waves crashing up on the shore. Every room in this hotel faces the lake so you can't get a bad view. You are literally just steps from the beach and can hear the waves from your room if you open your balcony door. When you close it, it's nice and quiet in your room.

Pet policy needs to be enforced/

During our stay, the party right above us allowed their DOGS (plural) to run around and prance constantly as well as barking. Starting at 5AM it sounded like being inside a snare drum with the constant running of dogs above us. Along with the barking, it made it impossible to get anymore sleep. That and their AC running despite the 51 degree outside temp. It was miserable. When we mentioned it to the desk clerk, we were simply ignored.

My daughter's wedding!

A trip to the North Shore in July can be an 'iffy' experience, but...we had perfect weather for my daughter's destination wedding and the hotel rooms were PERFECT! Comfortable beds, great breakfast and incredible views of Lake Superior. Thank you!

A perfect weekend getaway

The hotel staff was very friendly and I felt like she was expecting us at the moment. The room was very clean and smell nice. I'd stay again in this hotel and recommend to friends and family. I wishes that they would extend the hot tub hours longer. After a long day of hiking and out for dinner, I got back to the hotel around 9:30 and the hot tub was about to closed (10 PM), I was disappointed at it.

Beds were comfortable and the breakfast was adequate. I wish it had a pool or at least that the spa would be overlooking the lake. It's currently in the basement with no windows.

Anniversary celebration

We had a lovely room with a balcony on the beach. The weather was perfect for morning coffee on the balcony. Our room was comfortable and very quiet. A hearty breakfast was a perfect start to a day of hiking the parks and exploring Grand Marais. The staff was helpful in making dinner suggestions. They were "right on" with their recommendations. An evening walk on the quiet beach was the perfect way to end the day.

Review of Stay

Staff person at check-in was very impersonal and appeared to be bored with having to deal with me. She seemed to resent my inquiry about the facility fee and didn't really give me a good explanation of what it was for. Gentleman at check-out was much better. He was friendly and showed enthusiasm about his day and was very gracious. Location is noisy.

Nice wedding anniversary

Beautiful time watching and listening to the big lake. Our 2nd floor balcony was perfect view and just steps from the shore. The hotel is easy walking distance to downtown shops, great dining and trails out to beautiful lake views. The room was clean and comfortable.
