Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location was great - right on the lake, but also close to the other businesses on the Main Street. It's a very basic hotel, but it was very clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and they did have freshly-brewed coffee in the lobby, made from beans ground daily. They also had in-room coffee, but it was worth the trip to the lobby. We had a partial lake view from the 2nd floor, so that was an added bonus.

Disliked: Staff & service
I was given a room right above where they were doing construction. It was really loud, and they were still working at 7:30 pm. Not exactly relaxing. I had specifically asked for a quiet room. They lied to my face, and told me it was a quiet room. This is why I am giving a bad review. Eventually, they agreed to give me a different room. I was grateful for that!

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 !
