Lake Superior in your front yard.

Close to Pictured Rocks NP and on the water do very convenient. Outdated but a great place to crash being right on the water.

Pass on the 2-bed option

It was…ok at best. The room with 2 beds was clearly not meant to have 2 beds; cheap partition walls had been put up to divide the space into 2 separate bedrooms, leaving a bathroom that was extremely narrow (think bathtub plus about 15 extra inches wide) and could only be accessed by going through the 2nd room. The bathroom was not in great condition; the grout around the tub needed to be replaced a decade ago, the toilet was loose on the floor, and the trim work was unpainted. The effect was as if at the end of the “chop up the room” project the owners either ran out of money or said “Aaah, good enough.” The beds were ok and I think overall everything was probably clean but the presentation left a lot to be desired. Breakfast was “the morning desk person will make some coffee and put out some danishes”; we opted to eat some food we had brought for snacks instead so don’t know about the quality of what they offered. The very early birds next to us packed up and took items out to their car one at a time apparently, taking the opportunity to let the door slam shut EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. After probably 20 slams in the darkness of early morning, we gave up on further sleeping and got up. Not the motel’s fault of course, just a friendly reminder to fellow travelers to be considerate of other people when getting up before the sun does. The view was pretty but we would choose a different place to stay if ever in that neck of the woods again. Maybe the single bed rooms are better?

Its a quaint little locally owned motel . Property was nice , staff was polite .

Its quiet with great views of the bay , and some outdoor seating . and close to town for any of your needs . I would definitely come back again

Disappointed

The location of the property on Lake Superior is very nice. The hotel itself needs work. It is very dated. They advertise breakfast but don’t actually serve it. I would not stay there again.
