It's great for anyone wanting simplicity and essentials with great views of the lake!
Matthew, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful view of the lake, comfortable beds, and a clean room. Very friendly staff at check-in. Balcony view of the lake is wonderful, but there is no separation or privacy. When others are out on their balcony, it is as if they are sitting right outside your sliding door.
Beth, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great view and reasonable price.
Kendra, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect stay by the lake.

Super clean, beautiful lake view. Quick and friendly check in. Bonus 10% discount at the cascades restaurant for staying here.
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

View was great Office doesn't open until 8:00AM Very limited television
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Seemed like the place ran itself. You could figure out everything yourself. I wouldn't advertise the muffins - so dry.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I have stayed here often when I visit the North Shore. The rooms are lovely, but the balconies over the lake cannot be beaten. I generally make coffee in the room and sit on the balcony in the morning, but coffee, tea, and light breakfast items are available. The staff is always friendly, and the area is quiet for those looking to relax.
Margaret, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice room right on the lake.
Craig, 1-night trip

Brad, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great view. Quiet & clean rooms with couteous, helpful staff. Absolutely would stay here again. The balcony/patio area was great for watching the lake waves.
Rochelle, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The balcony view was perfect; the room was tasteful, beds comfortable, crisp linens ( not the cheap, clingy microfiber bedding, thankfully). Quiet room, helpful staff, nice common areas. Would definitely recommend, and as a little getaway ( I live only an hour inland) it cannot be beat. Good access to hiking and biking, and of course the serenity of Lake Superior.
Janell, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great place for watching the sun rise.
Paulette, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Small, but had everything you would need. Directly on lake superior, loved hearing the waves.
Margaret, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Adequate place to stay on the lake, but little to no view, so no real advantage compared with being inland. Rooms are dated and very plain, but as noted earlier, adequate with good beds, which is a definite positive . The period we stayed, it was warm and soon realized there was no A/C. As far as dining or food, you are looking a 15 minute drive. This is kind of like having a place at the lake, except there is no recreation, no food/ kitchen, and no property to experience “the lake”. It is a motel on the Northshore.
Reed, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This is a great budget option. We’ve stayed at many places along superior and depending on our budget, we’d never think twice about booking here. Perfect location right on the lake.
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice staff
