This place was a noisy dump. At night I could never find the staff. It’s way over priced for what you get.

Needs better dusting and vacuuming, noticable layers of dust. The mirror looked wiped but not cleaned, was streaky. Theres no mattress protectors under the sheets. I discovered this when I found a pin beginning to poke through the sheets where my face had just been. The patio furniture has been replaced since our last stay and that was nice, however, the mattresses weren't very soft anymore and a bit lumpy in spots. The AC was mediocre for a weekend with heat warnings and temps in the 90s. The building itself felt like it could use more air flow and my rooms AC unit was on 63 and still didnt feel like it was "too cold". Check in staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Really nice shower facilities. The views are just as great as we remember but we did miss the live weekend music outside. Conveniently located but a bit overpriced for how outdated it's become.

Awesome location, clean beds, friendly, BUT…

Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean, but the hotel was a little more dated than I expected. Breakfast was pretty standard. They have s’mores supplies every night, which was fun, but the baskets/napkins where they kept the supplies (the ingredients) looked dirty and looked like the napkins hadn’t been changed for days.

Great balcony view but....

We were looking for a room with a balcony/view of Lake Superior and got it. Small but had nice polywood chairs with small attached table between. Spent a good amount of time there reading, watching ships & boats on the lake, and watching people on the Lake Walk below. However, the rooms are very outdated and worn. The sofa had a slash across the back and was frayed everywhere. One mattress was definitely old and uncomfortable. The elevator made very loud bands and vibrations as it kicked in (there are 3 floors). The staff were friendly and good people.

Just ok

The staff was friendly and we were able to check in early. Breakfast seemed to have many options. I do not recommend a pool side room. Very loud into the late hours of the night. Rooms were not very clean. Found straws and ear plugs on the floor.
