The property was great. Lots of parking. My room was nicely updated. The only thing I would say is that the body wash in the shampoo dispensers were not functioning or empty. I didn’t do the continental breakfast so I can’t come in on it. Good location for where we were going last night. Right off the freeway.

Northern Queen has seemingly a huge number of rooms! So it’s usually available, a quick hop to the town less than a half mile, a nice welcoming staff, clean and quiet rooms, and a good setting. On top of that, it’s very reasonably priced. I would be happy to come again.

Everyone might not agree this is a 4/5 as the facilities are older, but my husband and I like the rustic/older feel. The surrounding nature/scenery was beautiful with the creek and small waterfall. Close to downtown. We stayed in one of the cabins and we liked having our own space but the the bathroom was very dated and the fireplace didn’t work.

The experience from check-in set the stage for the rest of the visit. Had to wait in line only to be told twice that the room wasn't ready. So had to check in an hour late. There was only one person working at the desk which seems ridiculous on a holiday weekend. The room was old dated and musty. The towels were like a motel 6 towel. There was no blanket in the room to use on the bed in the winter weather. The shower was difficult to turn on and off. There was no coffee pot in the coffee maker. The couch was stained and lumpy and impossible to sit in without sinking in the middle.This is basically a motel 6 in a very beautiful setting. Good for somewhere just to lay your head. And it was quiet.

“Great Staff, Rough Stay” My room wasn’t ready at check-in, and when I finally got in, it was still dirty. There was also no internet the entire time. The staff were the only good part of the experience—they were helpful and kind despite everything else not working.
