Staff was very friendly and eager to please and the room was very clean. The mattress and pillows in my room were a little softer than I normally like, but for a couple night stay while on vacation, they were fine. I would definitely stay here again if I'm vacationing in the area in the future.

Such a quaint and quiet inn located on the beautiful shore of Lake Superior. Very peaceful and relaxing as you enjoy the shoreline view overlooking the marina. Lakeshore walking path, Ernie restaurant next door. Beautiful area to explore. Bayside is only 10 miles away. We enjoyed our stay !

The view was fantastic of the shimmering waters as backdrop for tall masts of myriad sailboats anchored at the shore. We loved the colorful line of Adirondack chairs and the peaceful atmosphere of the property.

The room and bathroom were clean. But overall it is highly overpriced for the facilities and services available. Being one of very few hotels in the area is probably part of it.

Very basic hotel but it had everything we needed. Very kind and helpful front desk staff. We went for the view but everything was smoky from the Canada fires. So sad! Still, it was a nice, soft place to land. I would go back!
