I absolutely loved the hotel. Played pool, kids went swimming, sat in the hot tube, bathroom was good, king size bed fit 3 people comfortably, the view of Lake Superior was amazing!!! Parking was very convenient to where our room was. At night hotel was very peaceful. During the day, kids were all over, Animals allowed so we heard barking, during the day. I will be back for sure. With my kids and without. Staff was coo, did their job fast and professionally. Also got incidentals back fast after check out. Heater worked great because it got cold at night, got so hot at nighy towned the heat down and that worked great too. Opened window for a fresh air, and the sound of thw water was great. Sat at the lake during the day and night. Wavea was so relaxing! P.S. I was moving slow because I was so comfortable, so slow I wasn't gonna be out by 11am. Called to ask for an extra 30 minutes and front desk approved. I was so happy about that! Because I didn't even want to leave. Lol

Pros: Great room climate (heat), clean/comfy bedding, good shower head/temp, kind staff, great pool (higher temp than many— not painful), great hot tub. Cons: Our door did not consistently let us in. Not a key issue, a door issue. Some mold creeping down from above the ceiling tiles in the bathroom.

When we first stepped into our room, we were overwhelmed by the smell of cigarette smoke so we turned around and went back to the front desk. We were given another room, which smelled like some kind of product was used to cover up the smell of cigarette smoke. The rooms had signs in them stating that all rooms were smoke free. Besides that, there was a used bottle of water left on the nightstand and paper on the floor under a table. Not cleaned well? The other problem was that the guest rooms were located around the perimeter of the swimming pool and you could hear all the noise. There were over a dozen kids in the pool and hot tub so we didn't even attempt to go there. We like kids but this was a weekend getaway. At 10:30 p.m. we were trying to sleep, but the kids were screaming. My husband got up and went to the front desk to complain about the noise. The front desk manager didn't do anything about it, just stated that pool hours were from 8 am to 11 pm. A lot of hotels allow the kids to swim until 8 or 9 pm allowing adult time for an hour or two after that. We were looking forward to using the pool and hot tub. We will never return to this hotel!

This place was so dirty and run down it should be condemned. On day two they just brought new towels in and roughly tried to make the beds. That's it. No vacuuming, wiping down anything, or cleaning the bathroom sink, toilet or tub......Gross.
