10/10 Excellent
"Booked the Blue Wave for a last minute trip. Was an absolute gem and the owners have clearly put a lot of thought into making the property a great place to stay. Didn’t anticipate an after hours check in but was given correct and easy to follow directions. Getting into the room right before sunset was amazing. The view of the bay can’t be beat. While I didn’t get to try the onsite cafe or the fire pits, everything looked well maintained. Would highly recommend choosing the Blue Wave for a more quaint and charming stay!"

"We recently stayed at Quality Inn for a Girls Trip to Ashland/Bayfield. We were pleasantly Surprised and Very Pleased with this Motel. The Check in was quick & Friendly- and our Room was Great!! Right off the pool area. Our Room & the motel were both Very Clean, updated & Nice. Everything was well maintained & working. The beds are exceptionally Comfortable! The only downfall was the Breakfast- it was ok- but not well stocked- and food was dry & overcooked. Coffee was Awful. We could have stayed at many other motels in the area but I’m glad we chose this one- we will Definately Stay here again when we come back."
