Pros:

The VIEWS 😍 We wanted VIEWS of the water- delivered!! Stunning! Sunrises- stunning! Walking out the back door to Lake Superior, phenomenal! Staff was beyond helpful, especially when we decided to stay another night. Lake walk is right there. Downtown is literally a block away. Continental breakfast is delicious!! And if you go hungry, you are stupid- something for everyone!

Cons:

Nothing.

Hätte für das Geld mehr erwartet. Insgesamt aber ok.
Pros:

Lage war gut, Waschraum

Cons:

Braucht Renovierung innen, Waschraum veraltet mit Maschinen für Münzen (nicht wie sonst pberall mit Kreditkarte), keine Zeitangabe an den Maschinen, sodass man nix planen konnte.

We will consider other hotels before staying here in the future.
Pros:

We usually enjoy our stay here.

Cons:

Toilet didn’t flush properly and it took multiple attempts to get it to flush normally the entire stay. No exhaust fan in bathroom. The property still has that unpleasant smell that has been there since it opened.
