The heat was turned off for the spring or summer. They borrowed us a space heater to stay warm. Ice machine was not working. Very basic place. The bathroom made me laugh. The light switch was installed backwards, door wouldn't fully open or close. There was a shelf installed right above the bathroom sink, so you had to reach under the shelf to use the faucet knobs. No, I wouldn't stay there again. I thought the staff was good.

Nice and close to beautiful Lake Superior. Room was comfortable. The baseboards had paint splotches on them from when wall was painted. The tub caulking was dirty yellow . No microwave.

Easiest and the fastest check in ever. Quiet location, slept great and good water pressure. This is an older property that needs renovations but still comfortable at a good price. This was my second stay and will go back.
