The view from the room was nice. The room was clean but the beds were full size instead of queen which was probably my oversight when booking. It also didn’t have AC but the room fan was tolerable. The tv was small and the room tight for a family of four. The wood paneling walls and decor were cozy.

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.

Too warm…may need AC with climate change

The room was hot as climate change has affected the normal temps along the North Shore. This room does not have air conditioning which would have helped. The nighttime lows were warm so did not sleep very well. Also, without air conditioning, we will not stay here again due to smoke in the air from Canadian wild fires and the fact that it severely affects my asthma. There is no clock in the room. The fly swatter was nice to find due to all the flies in the area.

Balconies offer no privacy as they are right next to neighboring rooms. We found ourselves not using the balcony much because it was awkwardly close to others. There is no air conditioning, when we entered the room it was extremely hot. There is a powerful but loud fan instead of AC. TV is small and old. Shower had poor water pressure and would go from scolding hot to very cold. For the price we expected more and were very disappointed in this property.

The room had a great view of Lake Superior, located close to different attractions. Great smell of wild roses! Cons: No AC, I made the assumption that all hotels had AC, I was wrong. Private balconies are not private, they are separate, but you are within slapping distance of your neighbors.

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.

We had an amzing view. There was a storm that came thru the first night and power was out until 5am. But we still had running water. Beds were comfortable. I left something in the room, cliff dweller staff contacted me and shipped it for shipping plus $5. I would absolutely stay here again.
